Using Bioidentical Hormones Biomimetically
Natural bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has come as a boon to millions of people around the world. Rapid advancements in the field of medical science has resulted in the advent of this specialty area, which deals with the supplementation of natural hormones, whose production drops down naturally due to the aging process. Decreased levels of certain of the sex hormones are the reason for the onset of menopause in women and andropause in men. Using natural bioidentical hormones in a biomimetical way is known to provide relief from the symptoms of both menopause and andropause. Moreover, both men and women have reported improvement in their overall health and well being after hormone replacement therapy using bioidentical hormones.
A doctor will thoroughly test the levels of different hormones in your body by doing a blood or saliva test and only after that will he or she prescribe the exact amount of natural bioidentical hormones to replace the hormones that are missing in the body. Usually men are prescribed the natural biomimetic testosterone and progesterone in the form of a cream, which is to be applied topically in the exact dosage. In the case of women, it could be in the form of cream, a gel, suppositories or lozenges known as troches. The hormone levels, as well as the symptoms are checked with more hormone testing after an interval of a few months. Based on the reports of symptoms, feeling of wellbeing , adjustments to the natural bioidentical hormone prescription are again made by the doctor.
One of the biggest benefits of taking natural bioidentical hormones in a biomimetical way is that they not only replace hormones , they also mimic the natural biological process of the hormone levels , increasing and decreasing, at regular intervals of time during the month. Just as in a younger woman’s body which will experience the rise and fall of estrogen and progesterone, bioidentical hormones are taken to replicate or mimic this rise and fall. These natural bioidentical hormones are usually created from natural plant sources and therefore carry very little risk of any negative side effects, making them increasingly popular nowadays.
