Bioidentical Hormone Therapy in Miami, FL
Sex hormones decline over time. It’s an undeniable reality. While not everyone feels the effects, those who do know it’s a challenge, sometimes on a nearly daily basis. And the effects don’t go away overnight; they often linger. If you know the struggles all too well, you know the frustration of not knowing where to turn to find relief.
At Hydrology Wellness in Miami, FL, and the surrounding Miami area, we’re a med spa you can lean on to find balance, support, and tranquility during a time when you may feel overwhelmed. Through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), prescribed under the direction of Dr. Alexander Zuriarrain, MD, FACS, you ease symptoms of hormonal decline, feel more like yourself again, and even slow the effects of the aging process a bit in the process.
How Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Works
Hormone levels decrease and bring along symptoms that affect your quality of life, happiness, health, and more. While you can try to combat each symptom individually, hormone replacement therapy is a choice that corrects the issues simultaneously, as it boosts your hormone level(s) closer to the normal range.
Signs & Symptoms You Could Use Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
While preventative treatment is an option, which is when you visit before you start to have symptoms of perimenopause, menopause, or andropause, many of our clients prefer to wait until symptoms arise to see if they actually develop problems and possibly prevent taking a medication when they don’t need it.

FAQs
Standard hormone replacement therapy treatments typically consist of synthetic or animal-derived hormones. Bioidentical hormones, however, come from plants and are similar to your own hormones.
Generally, we don’t recommend that anyone over 60 receive treatment, as the benefits don’t tend to outweigh the risks at this point. We also usually won’t recommend it if you have a family history of blood clots, heart disease, breast cancer, or stroke.
The drawbacks of bioidentical hormone therapy are that they can cause side effects, just like any other hormone replacement. Some studies show that side effects are more common with BHRT, while others show the opposite.
The amount of time a woman should stay on bioidentical hormones depends on her chances of long-term effects, how well it’s controlling her symptoms, and other similar questions. That said, generally two to five years is in the ideal range.
Though it depends on how well you’re responding to hormones, how long your symptoms are lasting, and other vital factors, most people can expect to be on BHRT for two to five years.
