Empowering Women with Hormone Balance through Push Med
Women’s Hormone Replacement Therapy at Push Med in Greenville, SC
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
Bioidentical Hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a treatment that involves supplementing the body with hormones that it may not be producing adequately. Women's hormone levels naturally fluctuate throughout their lives, but sometimes these fluctuations can cause uncomfortable symptoms and disrupt daily life. BHRT aims to restore hormonal balance, alleviate symptoms, and improve overall well-being.
BHRT can be administered through various methods, including pills, patches, creams, gels, and injections. The specific type of BHRT recommended depends on the individual's needs and medical history. It's essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most suitable BHRT approach for you.
FAQs
What symptoms can BHRT help with?
BHRT can help alleviate a variety of symptoms related to hormonal imbalances, including:
Hot flashes and night sweats
Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
Decreased libido or sexual discomfort
Fatigue and low energy
Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
Sleep disturbances
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating

Is BHRT safe?
BHRT is considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare provider. At Push Med, we conduct thorough assessments, perform comprehensive lab tests, and provide personalized treatment plans to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your BHRT. Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
How is BHRT different from traditional hormone therapy?
BHRT uses hormones that are molecularly identical to the ones your body naturally produces, whereas traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may use synthetic or animal-derived hormones. Many women prefer BHRT because it is believed to offer a more natural approach with fewer side effects, though both types of therapy can be effective.
What hormones are typically used in BHRT?
The most common hormones used in BHRT include estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone, depending on individual needs. These bioidentical hormones are derived from natural sources and are chemically identical to the hormones produced by your body.
How do I know if I’m a good candidate for BHRT?
If you are experiencing symptoms related to hormonal imbalances or menopause, you may be a good candidate for BHRT. The best way to determine if BHRT is right for you is to schedule a consultation with a healthcare provider at Push Med. We will assess your symptoms, medical history, and hormone levels to develop a personalized plan.
Are there any side effects of BHRT?
Some women may experience mild side effects, such as breast tenderness, headaches, or mood swings when starting BHRT. These side effects are usually temporary and can often be managed with dosage adjustments. At Push Med, we closely monitor your progress to minimize side effects and ensure the best outcomes.
How long does it take to see results with BHRT?
Some women begin to notice improvements within a few weeks, while others may take a few months to experience the full benefits. The timeline for seeing results can vary based on individual factors, such as the severity of symptoms, the specific hormones used, and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan.
