Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and changes in sleep can affect life during perimenopause and menopause. Luxura Med Spa in Chicago offers hormone therapy consultations to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment preferences.
What Bioidentical Means
Bioidentical describes hormones with the same molecular structure as hormones made by the body. It does not mean risk-free. Some FDA-approved medications are bioidentical; compounded products are different and are not FDA approved.
Matching Treatment to Symptoms
Systemic and local therapies serve different purposes. Discuss which symptoms bother you most, your menstrual history, and any unexplained bleeding. Your provider can compare hormonal and nonhormonal options and explain why a particular formulation may be appropriate.
Benefits, Risks, and Reassessment
Treatment decisions depend on age, timing of menopause, personal and family history, and other factors. Review risks such as blood clots and certain cancers as they apply to the proposed therapy. Hormone therapy should not be promised to prevent heart disease or reverse aging. Regular reassessment helps determine whether treatment remains appropriate.
Questions About Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
Are compounded hormones safer?
They have not been shown to be safer or more effective than FDA-approved options. Professional guidance generally favors approved therapies when suitable options exist.
Do all symptoms require hormones?
No. Other conditions can cause similar symptoms, and nonhormonal options may be appropriate. A consultation can help clarify the choices.
