Question 1

Is it safe to take HRT?

Accepted Answer

We rely on the information you provide during intake to assess whether or not you're a good candidate for HRT. For appropriately screened patients without contraindications, HRT is a safe and highly effective treatment for perimenopause and menopause symptoms.

Question 2

Where are these hormones sourced?

Accepted Answer

At Revive and Flourish Hormone Balance and Wellness we only prescribe bioidentical HRT that is compounded in 503A pharmacies. Bioidentical HRT can be administered as creams, gels, injections, patches, or oral tablets.

Question 3

What is BHRT?

Accepted Answer

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones derived and processed from plants that are chemically identical to the hormones that the body naturally produces. The plant chemicals go through an additional process called micronization, which makes the medication more readily absorbed by the body. These bioidentical hormones are functionally indistinguishable from the body’s hormones, so they tend to be accompanied by fewer side effects and risks.

Question 4

What are the benefits of HRT?

Accepted Answer

For most women, HRT is an effective way of managing menopause symptoms. It also provides long-term health benefits, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and, for many, heart disease.  The small risks of HRT are generally far outweighed by the benefits.

HRT is an effective way of managing menopause symptoms, such as:

• Hot flashes and night sweats
 • Low mood and anxiety
 • Brain fog and memory issues
 • Vaginal dryness
 • Painful sex
 • Loss of libido/sex drive
 • Bladder issues

 • Joint and muscle aches and pains

Question 5

How does HRT work?

Accepted Answer

Before menopause, your ovaries produce three main types of hormones:
 • Estrogens (for example, oestradiol)
 • Progestogens (for example, progesterone)
 • Androgens (for example, testosterone)

The loss of estrogens that results in most menopause symptoms. HRT aims to replace the declining levels of estrogen and helps to reduce your menopause symptoms. It also has long-term health benefits, more crucial than ever as women’s life expectancy is increasing.
