Hormone levels naturally decline with age. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is the replacement of hormones in menopausal women and andropausal men. The term “Bio-Identical” refers to replacement hormones that have the same molecular structure as those made by your body’s ovaries or adrenal glands, meaning that BHRT replaces hormones that are chemically and functionally the same as those lost due to age or other medical conditions.
Dr. Ahlmeyer offers hormone replacement using several methodologies, including pellet implants. You are fortunate to have found a physician who offers BHRT using doses specific to you and a dosing methodology specific to your body and your lifestyle.
Dr. Ahlmeyer uses pharmacies that prepare compounded prescriptions using natural, plant-derived ingredients from FDA-approved sources. Testosterone for women is only available through compounding pharmacies. Hormones can be combined together for your convenience, in your unique dose for treatment of menopause or other hormone imbalances.
