Hormone Therapy For Women

At Medimix Compound Pharmacy in Langley, we understand the profound effects that hormonal imbalances can have on women’s health, especially during key life stages like menopause. Our Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) services are specifically designed to help restore hormonal balance by using hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced in the body, yet may decline with age, illness, or other factors.

We offer personalized hormone therapy solutions that focus on improving the quality of life for women, by assessing hormone levels, evaluating symptoms, and developing customized treatment plans that suit each woman’s unique needs.

Restoring Hormonal Balance with Personalized Care

Hormonal balance plays a crucial role in women’s well-being, and Bioidentical Hormone Therapy aims to restore any hormones that have become deficient due to aging or other causes. Customized hormone therapy uses bioidentical hormones—those that are identical in chemical structure to the hormones your body naturally produces.

The first step in achieving optimal hormonal balance involves a comprehensive evaluation of hormone levels and an understanding of symptoms. From there, we work with your healthcare provider to restore the deficient hormones in the most effective dose and dosage form, with careful monitoring to ensure optimal therapy.

Key Hormones for Women’s Health

• Estrogen: Commonly prescribed to relieve menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Estrogen also helps in the treatment of postmenopausal problems such as tissue breakdown and urinary disorders and has been shown to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

• Progesterone: Often used for women in the perimenopausal stage to counteract estrogen dominance and may improve lipid and cholesterol profiles. At Medimix, we prioritize natural progesterone over synthetic alternatives for its effectiveness and compatibility with the body.

• Androgens (DHEA & Testosterone): These hormones are crucial for libido, as well as for the integrity of skin, bone, and muscle. As women enter menopause, levels of testosterone and DHEA often decline. Our BHRT services include supplementation for women deficient in these important hormones.

We recognize that thyroid and adrenal function, as well as nutritional status, should also be considered as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Why Women Prefer Bioidentical Hormones

Numerous studies, including research from the Mayo Clinic, indicate that women often prefer micronized progesterone over synthetic alternatives for managing menopausal symptoms and enhancing overall quality of life. At Medimix, we specialize in bioidentical hormone solutions to ensure optimal results with fewer side effects, and to maintain compatibility with the body’s natural chemistry.

What Does Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Do?

BHRT plays a crucial role in managing a variety of symptoms associated with menopause, including hot flashes, mood swings, and more. By supplementing estrogen, progesterone, and androgens (like DHEA and testosterone), BHRT can help alleviate menopausal symptoms, improve vaginal health, and support bone, skin, and muscle integrity. At Medimix, we work to ensure that each woman receives hormones in the doses and delivery methods best suited to her body’s needs, maximizing benefits while minimizing risks.

Common Hormones Prescribed for Menopause

• Estrogen: Helps with the relief of menopausal symptoms and offers protection against osteoporosis.

• Progesterone: Balances estrogen and supports heart and cholesterol health during perimenopause.

• Androgens (like DHEA and testosterone): Important for maintaining libido, skin health, and muscle function.
