Are Bio-Identical Hormones Right for You?

Bio-identical hormones have been gaining widespread acceptance in recent years thanks in part to some excellent research studies on their safety and effectiveness. Bio-identical hormones differ from synthetic hormones in that they are made from natural plant substances that are identical in structure and function to the hormones our bodies naturally produce. As a result many women find they have less side effects than they did using synthetic hormone products.

Hormones have a powerful influence on our body. As a woman ages hormone production can become erratic. The resulting hormonal imbalance often leads to symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, foggy thinking, low libido, weight gain, irritability and sleep disturbances. These symptoms often occur long before menopause and can make a woman feel as though she is on an emotional roller coaster.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, chances are good you have a hormone imbalance and could most likely benefit from hormone replacement therapy. A simple saliva or blood spot test is used to identify potential imbalances and get you started on a treatment plan customized to your specific needs.

Pearl Women’s Center’s Nurse Practitioner Kyle Bell McAvoy, NP has extensive training and experience working with bio-identical hormone therapy as well as synthetic options.

Please call Pearl Women’s Center at 503.771.1883 if you would like more information.
