Hormones are natural chemicals in your body. They control a range of bodily functions, from digestion to sexual reproduction, and they directly influence the way you feel. Hormonal imbalance can lower your quality of life, but Midsouth Independent Group (MIG) specialists can help you find relief from your symptoms. Contact a MIG provider to learn more about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) today.
Your body produces specialized chemicals called hormones, which regulate numerous bodily functions, like brain function, metabolism, sexual reproduction, and more.
Hormones naturally fluctuate, but hormone levels that are consistently too high or too low interfere with essential bodily processes. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) helps regulate hormone levels to relieve unpleasant symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
Bioidentical hormones are a specific type of hormone used in hormone therapy. They’re chemically identical to the hormones naturally found in your body, making it easier for your body to utilize the hormone supplements.
Common bioidentical hormones are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. If you have a hormonal imbalance, starting BHRT can correct hormonal deficiencies and help you feel your best.
BHRT is a popular treatment option for men and women suffering from hormonal imbalance. It’s a customized therapy that delivers a precise dose of bioidentical hormones to rebalance hormone levels in your body.
It can improve a range of bothersome symptoms, including:
Anxiety
Depression
Dry skin
Erectile dysfunction (ED)
Fatigue
Hot flashes and night sweats
Irritability
Loss of muscle mass
Low libido
Mental fog
Mood swings
Thinning hair
Vaginal dryness
Weight gain
Not everyone experiences all the same symptoms of hormonal imbalance, and many people assume their symptoms are part of the normal aging process. However, these symptoms aren’t normal — and BHRT can help.
Getting older is the most common cause of hormonal imbalance. For women, perimenopause and menopause often mean dropping estrogen and progesterone levels. For men, low testosterone (or andropause) is increasingly common with age.
If the symptoms of hormonal imbalance sound familiar to you, consider scheduling an appointment with a Midsouth Independent Group (MIG) specialist. The providers offer comprehensive hormonal evaluations to identify the cause of your symptoms.
Your MIG provider may recommend BHRT if they diagnose a hormonal imbalance. BHRT is highly customizable, and your provider works closely with BioTE® Medical and Regel Pharmalab, a local compounding pharmacy.
After starting your treatment program, your provider checks in with you regularly to ensure your plan is working well for you. They adjust your dose as needed, so you get the most relief from BHRT.
