What is Menopause?
 

Menopause marks the end of your menstrual cycles, a significant milestone in every woman’s life. It typically occurs in your late 40s or early 50s and is officially diagnosed after you’ve gone 12 months without a period. But the journey to menopause, called perimenopause, can begin years earlier as your hormone levels start to shift.
During this time, your ovaries slow down production of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. This hormonal drop can trigger a range of symptoms that might leave you feeling not quite like yourself.

Symptoms of Menopause

Menopause affects everyone differently, but here are some of the most common symptoms women experience:

  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Mood swings
  • Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
  • Weight gain
  • Vaginal dryness and changes in libido

If you’ve been dealing with any of these, you’re not alone - and you don’t have to power through it without support.
 

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?

 

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are identical, on a molecular level, to the ones produced by the body naturally. They are easier for the body to accept and absorb. They can help reduce hormone imbalance in an efficient way which can lead to the management of a variety of disorders.

We do a detailed test to ascertain current hormonal levels and identify imbalances. BHRT is then used to utilize the right combination of hormones to reach targeted hormone levels in the body. It has been effective in relieving menopausal symptoms, as well as in reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Many metabolic and cardiac diseases could be prevented or managed through BHRT.

  • It could also be used for treating other conditions such as insulin resistance, adrenal and thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, and fibromyalgia.
  • It can help in reducing the risks of diabetes, cataract, and tooth loss. It has also been proven to help in improving skin hydration, thickness, and elasticity, as well as in reducing wrinkles.

Frequently Asked Questions on BHRT and Menopause

Menopause is the natural transition in a woman's life when her ovaries stop producing key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, marking the end of her reproductive years. It officially begins after 12 consecutive months without menstruation. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, insomnia, decreased libido, weight gain, fatigue, vaginal dryness, and brain fog. These symptoms result from the hormonal imbalances that occur during menopause.

BHRT with pellets in Mullica Hill, NJ, involves implanting tiny, hormone-containing pellets under the skin. These pellets, made from plant-derived bioidentical hormones, release a steady, consistent dose of hormones into the bloodstream over several months. This ensures continuous symptom relief without the need for daily pills or frequent hormone injections. The hormones used in BHRT are structurally identical to the ones naturally produced by the body, making them better absorbed and utilized for symptom management and overall health improvement.

BHRT uses bioidentical hormones, which are chemically identical to the body’s natural hormones, making them safer and more effective than synthetic hormones often used in traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Because bioidentical hormones mimic the body’s own, they are better absorbed and associated with fewer side effects. BHRT is also customized based on a patient’s unique hormonal needs, ensuring personalized and optimized care.

Women experiencing symptoms of perimenopause, such as irregular periods, fatigue, low libido, and mood swings, can benefit from starting BHRT early to manage symptoms and prepare for menopause. For women already in menopause, BHRT can reverse many symptoms and restore balance. Consulting our menopause specialist in New Jersey will help determine the right time to start and the best course of treatment tailored to your specific needs.
