Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to the ones your body naturally produces. These hormones are usually made from plant sources and are designed to match your body’s own molecular structure, making them easier to absorb. BHRT is used to manage hormonal imbalances in women during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. It can be administered through creams, patches, pellets, vaginal rings or capsules depending on your unique needs and your doctor’s approach.
