Are you struggling with uncomfortable menopause symptoms? You’re not alone. At the Online Menopause Centre, we understand the toll that this natural transition can take on your body and overall quality of life.

If you’re considering Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), compounded bio-identical HRT, also known as Compounded Bioidentical Hormones (cBHRT), could be the natural , effective solution you’ve been searching for.

What is Bio-Identical HRT?

Bio-identical HRT employs hormones that are chemically identical in structures to those produced naturally by ovaries. These include hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

There is another way that Bio-identical HRT can be produced and that is to be custom-formulated in a pharmacy based on your individual hormone needs. This type is called Compounded Bioidentical Hormones (cBHRT). Due to the fact that cBHRT is made individually based on personalised prescriptions, it is not licensed by the MHRA (medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency). However, the pharmacies which are based in the uk are all registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council and adhere to strict guidelines and processes when compounding HRT.

Unlike traditional HRT, which uses synthetic hormones, bio-identical HRT employs hormones that are chemically identical to those your body produces naturally. These include hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

The term “compounded” refers to the fact that these hormone treatments are custom-formulated in a pharmacy based on your individual hormonal needs.

Why Choose Bio-Identical HRT?

Bio-identical hormones are made from plant estrogens that are chemically identical to those the human body produces. They are designed to mimic your body’s natural hormone production, potentially leading to fewer side effects than synthetic hormones. Bio-identical HRT may alleviate common menopausal symptoms such as:

Hot flashes
Night sweats
Mood swings
Vaginal dryness
Loss of libido

For many women taking the licensed body identical HRT is suitable in managing their (peri)menopausal symptoms. However, in some circumstances when a specific dose or mode of delivery is required, the compounded BHRT is an option. This should be done after careful consideration and prescribed by an experienced and trained healthcare professional.

One significant advantage of bio-identical HRT is their customizability to the exact dose. Unlike synthetic hormones, which come in standard doses, bio-identical hormones can be adjusted based on your individual needs and symptoms.

Safety and Efficacy

You may wonder about the safety of bioidentical HRT or cBHRT. Although all hormone therapies carry some risks, bio-identical hormones may have a lower risk profile compared to synthetic hormones.

This is a promising concept, given that BHRT hormones are identical to those naturally produced by the body, which is why it could allow for better compatibility and fewer side effects.

As with all treatments, the benefits and risks must be weighed on an individual basis, which is why it’s crucial to discuss this in detail with one of the healthcare professionals at OMC.
