Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels can become deficient, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions helps restore optimal balance and relieve deficiency symptoms.
At The Balance - Hormone Medical Clinic in Fort Polk, we specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Our experienced medical staff helps patients correct hormone imbalances through customized treatment plans. We carry a wide selection of FDA-approved bioidentical hormones and utilize advanced compounding techniques to create personalized capsules, gels, injections, and creams.
Benefits of bioidentical hormones include relief from hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, weight gain, decreased libido, and other symptoms caused by menopause or andropause. Patients report increased energy, improved sleep, enhanced mood, and an overall greater sense of health and well-being.
Hormone levels decline naturally with age. Men may experience low testosterone (low T) starting around age 30. Women undergo menopause between ages 45-55. The onset of perimenopause brings fluctuating estrogen levels and irregular periods.
