What’s the difference between 'bioidentical' compounded hormones and 'standard’ hormone therapy?

Easy answer... Price

All that bioidentical means is...
-a synthetically made hormone that has the SAME molecular structure as the hormone your body naturally makes.

That’s it.

Bioidentical does NOT tell you...
how it’s made, regulated or if it’s the best option for you

FUN FACT...
You can get FDA-approved prescription hormone therapies that are bioidentical!
Estradiol (patch, gel, spray, pill, shot)
Micronized progesterone (pill)
Testosterone (gel, cream, shot)

These are widely used, well-studied, and manufactured with consistent dosing and quality standards. AND available at your local pharmacy.

Compounded bioidentical hormones (pellets, topicals, orals, shots)...
They aren't evidentially better or safer but they are more expensive $$$.

You pay the pharmacy to create, package and ship your compound in addition to ingredients.

They also not FDA-approved as finished products and have limited safety and efficiency data.

AND, I'm not totally opposed to them. Just buyer beware. There's a lot of marketing happening in the perimenopause/menopause space

Hormone replacement therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all.

The “right” option is the one that balances your symptoms, preferences, benefits, side effect profile, lifestyle and budget.

Come see me.... We'll get this figured out for you.

Also f$ #@ you menopause!

Understanding Perimenopause

Perimenopause is the natural transition period leading up to menopause. It usually begins in the 40s, but for some people it can start earlier or later. During perimenopause, the ovaries gradually produce less progesterone and testosterone (if estrogen being the last hormone to drop off), which can cause changes in your body, mind, menstrual cycles and a variety of physical and emotional symptoms.

Common symptoms may include irregular periods, hot flashes or night sweats, sleep difficulties, mood changes, anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, changes in weight or body composition, joint aches, and vaginal dryness or discomfort. Symptoms can vary widely—some people experience mild changes, while others find symptoms significantly affect daily life to the point they feel "not like myself anymore."

Perimenopause is a normal life stage, not an illness. However, symptoms are real and treatable.

If you are experiencing changes that concern you or interfere with your wellbeing, please talk with me (DrW). Together, we can discuss your symptoms, rule out other causes, and create a personalized plan to support you through this transition.

There are a range of options—including lifestyle changes, non-hormonal treatments, and hormone therapy—may help improve quality of life. What works best depends on your symptoms, health history, and personal preferences.

Let's talk about Addyi

Only and first FDA approved drug for both premenopausal and postmenopausal women bothered by low libido as characterized by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty and is not due to: (1) A co-existing medical or psychiatric condition, (2) Problems within the relationship, or (3) The effects of a medication or other drug substance.

The company states that in 24 week studies, Addyi helps with increased sexual desire, increased satisfying sexual events and reduced stress for low libido.

HOWEVER....we aren't exactly sure how it works (so user beware). Researchers believe that Addyi works by correcting an imbalance of neurotransmitters responsible for sexual excitement.

Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2%) are dizziness, somnolence, nausea, fatigue, insomnia, and dry mouth

Use of ADDYI and alcohol!!! Using together close in time increases the risk of severe low blood pressure (hypotension) and passing out (syncope). SO...you should wait at least two (2) hours after consuming one or two standard alcoholic drinks before taking ADDYI at bedtime or to skip their ADDYI dose if they have consumed three (3) or more standard alcoholic drinks that evening.

Do not use Addyi if you are on a medication that is a moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or you have liver problems.

My thoughts on this: I don't like that we currently don't know the exact mechanism of action of this medication. I would recommend getting HRT (hormone replacement therapy) equalized first. Many times when I start patients on hormone replacement, they come OFF of mental health meds.

WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHTS?

**Though I am a doctor, I'm not your doctor (yet). You should seek medical advice your a physician that knows all your medical and medication histories.

Some days my patients tell me more about their life than their own family…
Insurance companies never ask how your mom is doing — but I do. ❤️

Q: What’s one thing your doctor should know about your life (besides your medical history)?
