Frequently Asked Questions



1. What are hormones, and why are they essential in the human body?

In the simplest terms, hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. The human body has many hormones, all of which play essential roles in ensuring that your body and your organs communicate and function as required. Hormones are manufactured in the endocrine glands.



2. What does it mean when you have hormonal imbalance?

Hormonal imbalance is when you have too much or too little of a hormone or several hormones in your bloodstream. When the hormonal levels are not at par with your body’s requirements, you may experience symptoms such as bloating, moodiness, sleeplessness, weight problems, and even depression, among others. Such symptoms are as a result of the miscommunications happening in the body as the hormone levels fluctuate. Some of the events that can trigger hormonal imbalance include menopause and pregnancy. Chemotherapy, poor nutrition, and endocrine gland injury can also lead to hormonal imbalance.

3. What is BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy)?

BHRT utilizes hormones that are identical to human hormones to supplement a body’s hormone production. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may be administered topically (as in the case of a topical cream) or through a subcutaneous injection. Men and women can both benefit from BHRT.



4. What is Low Testosterone Therapy for Men?

Most men record a dip in their testosterone levels as they age. Lower testosterone levels aren’t always a concern, but there are instances when the levels become abnormally low. A male facing unusually low testosterone levels may experience decreased libido, hair loss, loss of muscle mass, moodiness, and fatigue, among others. Testosterone therapy can alleviate these symptoms and get you feeling as good as new.



5. When should you consider hormonal therapy?

For most people, hormonal decline kicks in during the mid-twenties, but you may not notice any changes until you’re well in your 30s and 40s. During your appointment, our specialist will thoroughly examine you to determine whether you’re showing any signs of hormonal imbalance. It’s only after a careful assessment that you can get started on hormonal therapy.



6. How long will you need to be on hormonal therapy?

On average, you require treatment for three to six months to balance your hormones. However, you’ll need follow-up visits so our specialist can keep an eye on your hormone levels and catch any fluctuations before they become full-blown imbalances.



7. Is BHRT safe?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is regulated and approved by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA). What’s more, the hormones used in BHRT are plant-based and derived from sources such as yams and soy. As such, you can be sure that you’re choosing something safe and natural for your body.



8. What if I’m taking other medications, will BHRT interfere with the same?

The only time BHRT will interfere with your ongoing medications is if these medications are hormone-based. Such drugs include birth control pills and some acne creams. Our specialist will advise you accordingly.
