Are you noticing fluctuations in your mood, weight, or energy levels? Board-certified OB/GYN Aleksander Bodnar, MD, at Viva Health Group in Linden and Clifton, New Jersey, offers bioidentical hormones to rebalance your hormone levels and alleviate the disruption in your life and health. Call today to set up a consultation or book online to find out if all-natural bioidentical hormone replacement is right for you.
Hormones affect a wide variety of bodily systems and functions. When they’re out of balance, so is your life. You may experience symptoms such as overwhelming fatigue, vaginal dryness, and hot flashes.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy restores your natural hormone balance. Bioidentical hormones are identical to human hormones, and your body uses them efficiently and effectively.
While some bioidentical hormones are made by pharmaceutical companies, compounded bioidentical hormones are custom made at a pharmacy, according to your doctor’s treatment plan. This process, known as compounding, typically involves combining ingredients to meet your unique needs.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved some forms of manufactured bioidentical hormones, including bioidentical estriol, a weak form of estrogen, and progesterone. However, the FDA hasn’t approved any custom-compounded bioidentical hormones.
Bioidentical hormones come in various forms, including:
At Viva Health Group, Dr. Bodnar inserts pellets just under the skin or administers therapy as a cream.
Women experiencing uncomfortable symptoms due to a hormone imbalance are possible candidates for hormone replacement therapy. Menopause is a common time for bioidentical hormone therapy as the erratic levels of estrogen often cause disruptive symptoms. These include:
Men can also experience a decline in hormones, namely testosterone, as they age, known as andropause. Low testosterone levels can also cause unpleasant symptoms, such as low sex drive, muscle loss, and poor sleep.
If you’re approaching menopause or andropause and experiencing some or all of these symptoms, contact Viva Health Group to learn more about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and to find out if bioidentical hormone therapy in the form of testosterone is a possible treatment and how it can help you.
In addition to alleviating uncomfortable menopause or low testosterone symptoms, bioidentical hormones can offer:
Bioidentical hormones as pellets just under your skin optimize your dosage. Your body gets the right amount of hormones when you need them.
The effects of the pellets last 3-4 months, after which Dr. Bodnar reevaluates your hormone status and modifies treatment if necessary.
