Hormonal balance is important for women’s overall health, especially as they age. Among the symptoms that can disrupt the quality of life are vaginal dryness and frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs). They may be alleviated through various treatments, including bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT). Here’s what you need to know about this option.
Bioidentical hormones are man-made hormones derived from plants. They are chemically identical to those the human body produces. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are among the most commonly replicated and used in treatment. Bioidentical hormones come in various forms, including pills, patches, creams, gels, and injections.
