Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a growth area in the USA and therefore likely to increase and become more commonplace in the UK as awareness spreads.There are valid reasons for those experiencing menopausal symptoms to consider their options carefully and to prefer a more ‘natural’ hormone to alleviate their condition. For other less specified symptoms, it may improve them but there are only personal testimonials to vouch for this. Everyone is different and has different requirements and motivations for seeking this sort of therapy. As each prescription is individualised the outcome will be too. To discover if they would work for you, you must put your trust in a well-researched doctor or nurse prescriber at a specialised and experienced clinic. It will take some time before there is any long-term scientific evidence about the effectiveness and safety of BHRT, so if you proceed you may be part of this innovation.BHRT has arisen in response to concerns about the conventional HRT given to menopausal women to alleviate their symptoms. They are not synthesised to mimic natural hormones or extracted from the urine of other animals, but derived from plants and have the identical chemical structure of those found in humans, making them indistinguishable. The ‘raw material’ does have to be processed to allow it to be delivered in an effective way into the human body and subsequently broken down. This initial interest in BHRT has led to other applications to achieve other results, such as anti-ageing and wellness, which highlight the potential for the wider use of bio-identical hormones in medically-led private clinics.
