Bio Identical Hormone Replacement
Bio identical hormone replacement therapy is used to help treat the symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, and post-menopause. The major benefit of HRT is the improved quality of life and the relief of most if not all menopausal symptoms. Your mood, feeling of well-being and your satisfaction with yourself in all aspects of your life are important.
Treatment with bio identical hormones usually includes creating a unique cocktail of hormones for the individual patient, based on hormone deficiencies identified via blood samples. These are often referred to as "custom-compounded" hormone products. The major benefit of this type of treatment is that doses are individualized, and the mixture of products is prescribed specifically for you by Dr. Ali.
Bio identical hormones, sometimes referred to as natural hormones, are those that are molecularly identical to the hormones that are produced in the body. Hormones and steroids are taken from plants and are altered to a state of identical molecular structure, then put into a form that can be taken by the patient; we use a cream base.
