Bioidentical Hormones

Bioidentical Hormones are chemically nearly identical to those that are found in humans. Estradiol, in both pill and cream form, resembles human estrogens. There are other bioidentical, synthetic or plant based hormones that can be utilized to decrease menopausal symptoms. Since a women produces estrogen through a pathway that includes testosterone, one way to create natural estrogen is to replace bioidentical testosterone through pellets. This is absorbed and then converted to the patient’s own estrogens.
