What Is BioIdentical Hormone Replacement?

Also known as natural hormone therapy or bioidentical hormone replacement in San Clemente, bioidentical hormone replacement is the therapeutic use of hormones that are molecularly identical to your own endogenous hormones. Bioidentical hormone therapy is used to treat hormone level imbalances, which is a natural part of the aging process. They can be used to help mitigate symptoms of aging, as well as restore balance that have been lost before menopause or andropause in men.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is custom made for each individual patient, as everyone has unique needs. Derived from plant materials, the hormones can address symptoms of imbalances of adrenal hormones, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, and / or testosterone.

What Symptoms Does BioIdentical Hormone Replacement Help Treat?

  • Abnormal hair growth / hair loss
  • Bladder and / or vaginal infections
