What is bioidentical hormone therapy?
When it comes to things like your mood, energy levels, glucose levels, or libido, your hormones play a huge role in managing your overall health. If you experience a hormonal imbalance, it can greatly impact how you feel and may even create a variety of health problems. Our group is proud to offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to our Denver, CO community. As an anti-aging medicine, men and women can benefit from this procedure to help reduce certain symptoms that naturally occur with age. To do this, we use bioidentical hormones that are derived from plant estrogens. These synthetic hormones are exactly like what the body produces. At Mountain Med Spa, we encourage you to call and learn more about HRT and how it can improve your health.

What Can I Expect After Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?
Before we prescribe a bioidentical hormone therapy pellet or cream, we will complete a comprehensive consultation to ensure the treatment is right for you. During your consultation, we listen to your needs or concerns and your lifestyle preferences to create a tailored treatment plan. Then, we will discuss the options offered, like creams and pellets. For pellets, we will numb the treatment area and insert the pellet into a small incision. This incision is usually located near or on the hip.
If you decide to go with a pellet, you will need to have a new one placed every 3 – 6 months. This will help you maintain your results. It is very common to experience side effects with either form of the treatment. At first, you may experience bloating, fluid retention in the hands or feet, mood swings, and hair growth. However, after your body adjusts to the new hormone levels, your symptoms should subside.

What causes hormonal imbalances?
Hormones are organic messengers that assist in promoting your body's tasks. Multiple reasons might create an unevenness in your hormone amounts.
How can you tell if your hormones are out of balance?
Many factors can cause a discrepancy in your hormone amounts. Among these are aging, lifestyle changes, chronic mental stress, medicines, menopause, and different medical conditions.
