Are there risks with bioidentical hormone therapy?
There are no documented risks inherent to bioidentical hormone preparations themselves when correctly dosed. However, underlying factors like genetics, lifestyle issues, and pre-existing conditions influence individual risk profiles. Experienced practitioners conduct proper risk assessment and monitoring.
How long does treatment take to work?
Improvements in sleep, energy, or mental clarity commonly start within weeks, but maximal benefits accrue over 4-6 months as combinations are optimized. Treatment should continue as long as clinically indicated.
What are the costs involved?
Customized bioidentical hormone therapy is considered a form of preventative medicine not covered by insurance. However, many components may be reimbursed if coded properly. Multiple payment options can ease affordability concerns.
Can hormone treatment help with sexual health?
Balancing key hormones like testosterone, thyroid, and growth hormone using bioidentical methods has consistently shown to help resolve low libido, erectile dysfunction, and menopausal vaginal dryness when properly diagnosed and treated.
