What is Bio-identical Hormone Replacement therapy?

Bio-identical hormones are chemical substances that the body produces in different glands and regulate most of the body's functions, which is why, by maintaining proper hormonal functioning, the functions of tissues, organs and organ systems are optimized. Specifically in sexual hormones, a progressive loss begins in both sexes from the age of 40, with the female sex being more abruptly affected, experiencing low levels of progesterone and testosterone prior to menopause. An inadequate hormonal balance affects cell intercommunication and accelerates the aging process.

Who qualifies for hormone replacement treatment?

All patients with menopausal/andropausal symptoms and altered laboratory results, previously analyzed and discussed by a physician.
