Renew Youth uses bioidentical hormones in Vienna VA for safe menopause treatment.
Although menopause is a natural part of aging, that doesn’t mean you have to just live with unpleasant menopause symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, hair loss, weight gain, and mood changes. Renew Youth can help you find relief. We offer a variety of treatment options, including hormone replacement therapy using bioidentical hormones in Vienna VA.
What are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones have the exact same chemical structure as your own hormones, so your body accepts them as the real deal and uses them just like your natural hormones Synthetic hormones, on the other hand, contain slight deviations from the chemical structure of a natural hormone and are not accepted as well by the body. Use of synthetic hormones has been shown to increase certain risk factors for negative outcomes. One key example is progestin. This synthetic form of progesterone has actually been linked to increased risk of breast cancer, whereas studies have shown that the natural form of progesterone decreases this risk. At Renew Youth, we are committed to providing the very best care for our patients and that’s why we use bioidentical hormones in Vienna VA exclusively.
Using Bioidentical Hormones in Vienna VA Safely and Correctly
In order for bioidentical hormones in Vienna VA to be effective in relieving menopause symptoms, they must be used correctly as part of a high-quality treatment program. Here are the key elements of a quality treatment protocol:
Individualized dosages: Patients should not be prescribed bioidentical hormones in Vienna VA on a one size fits all basis. Instead, you should have your hormone levels tested prior to treatment and your dosages tailored to your specific needs.
Balancing of all relevant hormones: There is no one single hormone that is causing your menopause symptoms. Instead, it is probably a combination of problems. At Renew Youth, we test for multiple different hormones that affect your health and well-being during menopause and ensure they are properly balanced.
Pairing of estrogen & progesterone: Estrogen should never be replaced without also replacing progesterone, because these two hormones work in concert to help ensure estrogen is absorbed safely into the body.
Ongoing lab testing & monitoring: Doctors should stay involved with their patients after prescribing hormone therapy, performing regular lab testing, listening to patient needs, and adjusting dosages as needed.
