Are the hormones you're taking as 'natural' and safe as you believe? I'm Maureen McGrath, a registered nurse and sexual health expert, here to unravel the nuances of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). We'll navigate the potential benefits and dangers that come with this treatment, often lauded for its plant-derived components and structural resemblance to human hormones. While BHRT can be precisely tailored to meet personal hormonal imbalances, from menopausal symptoms to andropause, it's not without risks. The episode shines a light on the pressing concerns such as lack of regulation, alarming health risks including blood clots and cancer, and the heated debates concerning its effectiveness and safety. With the spotlight on various administration methods like pills, creams, and pellets, this conversation is a must-hear for those considering BHRT or seeking alternatives to conventional hormone therapies.
