Are you experiencing symptoms of menopause like hot flashes, night sweats, or vaginal dryness? Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help alleviate menopausal symptoms and hormonal imbalances in women. There are two main types of HRT offered by providers like Okojie Wellness in Vancouver, WA:
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body.
This type of HRT is offered by Okojie Wellness in Vancouver and involves customized prescriptions tailored to each patient's specific hormonal needs.
Bioidentical hormones commonly used in HRT include:
Estrogen (estradiol, estriol, estrone)
Progesterone
Testosterone
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone)
These hormones can be administered in various forms, such as pills, creams, gels, or pellets inserted under the skin.
Conventional Hormone Replacement Therapy
Conventional HRT uses synthetic hormones that are chemically different from human hormones. These hormones are typically derived from animal sources or produced synthetically in a laboratory.
Common synthetic hormones used in conventional HRT include:
Conjugated estrogens (e.g., Premarin)
Medroxyprogesterone acetate (a synthetic progestin)
Conventional HRT is available in various forms, such as pills, patches, gels, or vaginal rings.
