More about BHRT
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) can help to relieve the symptoms of hormone imbalance by identifying and treating deficient hormone levels and balancing hormones as required. Synthetic hormones such as Premarin, Prempro and Provera are chemically different from our natural human hormones. By contrast, Bioidentical Hormones are biologically identical to our human hormones and are derived from natural ingredients such as soy, yams, and other plants. Bioidentical hormones are compounded by specially trained and licensed compounding pharmacists by prescription only.

Before beginning Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) you will have a consultation, examination and a laboratory workup to determine your current hormone levels and overall health**. During the course of your Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, Dr. Croland will closely monitor your hormone levels to ensure that you are receiving the optimal amount for your individual needs. Hormone levels will be re-tested every 7-8 weeks until optimal levels and symptom improvement is achieved.
