Tulsa Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (or BHRT) uses hormones identical to those that occur naturally by our bodies to treat hormonal imbalance in both men and women. While conventional medicine approaches hormonal imbalance by prescribing synthetic hormones, these synthetic substances often have countless adverse effects. Some of those effects can be worse than the hormonal imbalance itself. With BHRT, hormones can be recognized by the body as if it produced them on its own. As a practitioner in functional medicine, Dr. Washatka promotes Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement as the best way to treat hormonal imbalances or insufficiency.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement | Dr. Washatka
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement, in place of the traditional approach which utilizes synthetic hormones, is commonly misunderstood. Most people wonder how Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement really works.
What are the Benefits of Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement? | Dr. Washatka
There are many benefits to choosing BHRT over the conventional approach of synthetic hormones. Traditional hormone replacement uses a synthetic medication that mimics the hormones that your body naturally produces. However, the medication is not unique to your specific needs. Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement, on the other hand, is individualized to the needs of each patient. Because of this, your body believes that these hormones are your own. The highly individualized approach to BHRT often produces much more satisfactory results when compared to synthetic hormone therapy. In addition to the higher success rate, the potential side effects of BHRT, although present, are much less severe than with the traditional methods.
