Bio-Identical Hormones

Androgen replacement therapy is a hormone treatment often prescribed to counter the effects of male hypogonadism, which is the diminished functional activity of the gonads. Hypogonadism can be present at birth, or it can also be acquired through means such as mumps, traumatic brain injury, or prolonged use of opiod class drugs. Androgen replacement therapy can also be prescribed to lessen the effects or delay the onset of normal male aging. Additionally, androgen replacement therapy can be used for men who have lost their testicular function from disease, cancer, or other causes. Learn more about HRT for men here.

FVPS performs hormone/androgen replacement therapy for men and women by prescribing natural bio-identical hormones in the form of pellets. While bio-identical hormones have been approved and available for use in the US since the 1930s, the use of bio-identical hormones has been slow to increase despite general agreement in the scientific literature that bio-identical hormone replacement is better than using traditional HRT with non-human hormones.

Any type of hormone replacement therapy can increase the risk of breast cancer among average weight post-menopausal women, so patients should make their primary care providers aware if they elect to receive bio-identical hormones.  For some people, the slightly increased risk of breast cancer is offset by the greater quality of life while on BHRT. FVPS requires all patients to have a regular primary care doctor, and all female patients to be current on mammograms, pap smears, and bone density screening tests.

Discover the Life-Changing Benefits of BHRT

Have you been told hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is risky or outdated? It’s time to rethink what you know. In his book Blind Spots, Johns Hopkins surgeon and healthcare expert Dr. Marty Makary sheds light on how a flawed 2002 study scared millions of women away from a treatment that can actually transform their health and quality of life.

Today’s research tells a different story: When started at the right time (usually within 10 years of menopause), BHRT is not only safe for many women—it’s incredibly beneficial. It helps restore balance, protect long-term health, and even extend lifespan. At Fox Valley Plastic Surgery, we offer personalized BHRT plans that are rooted in this modern understanding of women’s health.

Why Consider BHRT?

• Better Sleep, Better Mood
  Say goodbye to hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. BHRT helps you feel like you again.
• Protects Your Heart
  Women who start HRT at the right time may cut their risk of heart disease by up to 50%.
• Keeps Your Mind Sharp
  BHRT is linked to a lower risk of memory loss, cognitive decline, and even Alzheimer’s disease.
• Stronger Bones
  Reduce your risk of fractures and osteoporosis with hormone support that helps preserve bone density.
• Live Longer, Live Better
  Research shows women on BHRT live an average of 3.5 years longer—and those years are healthier.
• Feel Radiant Again
  Many women report better energy, skin, and libido, and a renewed sense of vitality.
