Bioidentical Hormone Therapy UK

What are bioidentical hormones? They are hormones chemically identical to the natural hormones produced by the human body. Although their primary ingredients come from plant sources such as yam or soy they are subjected to extensive laboratory modifications to be made "bioidentical". Their advantages compared to synthetic hormones and other hormones used in conventional HRT are their ability to bind with the same receptors in the human body and to follow the same metabolic and elimination pathways as naturally produced hormones. Therefore, their actions can be more "physiological".     Additionally, they can be measured in bodily fluids- blood, urine, saliva- allowing your doctor to monitor their levels throughout your treatment and avoid over- or under-replacement. Conventional HRT hormones cannot be measured in bodily fluids and dosage remains fixed and unmonitored. BHRT refers primarily to the replacement of sex hormones- oestrogen, and progesterone. However, for better results, your doctor will assess and restore the status of other vital hormones such as DHEA, melatonin etc. What are the health benefits of BHRT? Efficient treatment of hot flushes and sweats, prevention of osteoporosis and bone fractures, improvement of incontinence and vaginal dryness, improvement of sleep and mood, improvement of memory, concentration and thinking, improvement in wrinkles, skin texture and hair, improvement of body composition and [Name redacted], improvement of libido and sexual function.

Why should you have to choose between your quality of life and increasing your risk for certain cancers when engaging in HRT therapies? For women over the age of forty this has been the choice for hormone balancing for generations, leading to a precarious lack of physical and emotional wellbeing for women. As rates of cancer instances rise throughout the world, the use of synthetic Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has become widely studied for its impact on raising the risk of developing cancer. That is not an option we are comfortable with and Dr. Eccles and his team are pleased to offer an advanced whole health alternative hormone treatment for men and women.

Sadly incidence of breast cancer is rising, particularly in younger women. In fact 1 in 9 women can expect a diagnosis of breast cancer in their lifetime. Consequently, we recommend regular breast health screening checks using the pain-free, radiation-free safe Breast Thermography.
