Article: How personalised BHRT could be the answer to the debilitating symptoms many women experience during perimenopause and menopause.

Bioidentical Hormone Restoration Therapy (BHRT) utilises bioidentical hormones; which have an identical chemical structure to the naturally occurring hormones produced in the body. The hormones used in BHRT are completely plant derived from diosgenin found in Mexican wild yams or from soy. These differ from the often synthetic hormones used in conventional HRT such as equine oestrogen (i.e. Premarin) and progestins (such as Provera); which are conventionally used to replace depleted oestrogen and progesterone in menopausal women; to help alleviate symptoms. Rizvan Faruk Batha discusses how personalised BHRT could be the answer to the debilitating symptoms women experience during perimenopause and menopause.
