BHRT for women involves the use of hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the female body. Under the supervision of Dalal Akoury, MD, BHRT may be considered for women experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause or menopause, following a comprehensive physician-led evaluation.

Women often seek evaluation for symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and changes in libido or menstrual patterns. Because these symptoms can have various causes, a thorough medical assessment is necessary to determine if they are hormonally related.

The evaluation is a rigorous, physician-led process. It includes a review of your reproductive health history and medical records, a physical examination, and clinically appropriate laboratory testing. All decisions are individualized based on clinical judgment and patient-specific factors.

The term "bio-identical" is descriptive of the chemical structure and does not imply that these therapies are inherently safer or more effective than conventional options. Scientific evidence varies, and Dr. Akoury reviews the benefits and risks for each individual patient.
