Hallmarks of Safe Hormone Therapy
The exclusive use of bioidentical hormone in Portland OR is an excellent indicator of a safe and effective hormone therapy protocol. However, it is not the only thing to consider. You also want to look for:
Individualized Dosages: Hormone therapy should always be personalized to your needs, with dosages of each bioidentical hormone in Portland OR based on the results of your lab tests. This protects you from taking hormones in amounts that are too low to be effective or so high they cause side effects.
Pairing of Estrogen and Progesterone: Estrogen and progesterone are complimentary hormones that should always be replaced together. If this is not done, estrogen can bind to the wrong receptors and cause cancer.
Compounding Pharmacy: There are actually three different forms of estrogen: estradiol, estrone, and estriol. For your health and safety, it is best to take a bi-est formula consisting of estradiol and estriol, so that estrogen will bind to both ER Alpha and ER Beta receptors in the body. In order to prescribe bi-est, we have to use a compounding pharmacy.
