Conditions Best Treated with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)


Published February 15, 2024

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) has been used to address a variety of hormonal imbalances and related symptoms. While BHRT is not a one-size-fits-all solution, it has effectively treated certain conditions. Here are several conditions that are commonly considered to be best treated with BHRT:

Menopause Symptoms: BHRT is often used to alleviate symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. By restoring hormone levels to their natural balance, BHRT may help reduce the severity of these symptoms and improve the overall quality of life for menopausal women.

Perimenopause: Perimenopause refers to the transitional period leading up to menopause when hormone levels begin to fluctuate. BHRT can be used during this time to help manage symptoms such as irregular periods, mood changes, and sleep disturbances.

Andropause Symptoms: Andropause, also known as male menopause, is a term used to describe age-related changes in male hormone levels. BHRT may be used to address symptoms of andropause, such as fatigue, decreased libido, and mood changes, by restoring testosterone levels to a more optimal range.

Hormonal Imbalances: BHRT can be beneficial for both women and men who experience hormonal imbalances due to conditions such as thyroid disorders, adrenal fatigue, or insulin resistance. By restoring balance to hormone levels, BHRT may help alleviate symptoms associated with these imbalances, such as fatigue, weight gain, and mood swings.

Osteoporosis Prevention: BHRT has been suggested as a potential preventive measure for osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women. Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining bone density, and BHRT may help reduce the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures by keeping estrogen levels optimal in the body.

Sexual Dysfunction: BHRT may be used to address sexual dysfunction in both men and women by restoring hormone levels that are important for sexual function. For example, BHRT may help improve libido and sexual satisfaction by balancing testosterone and estrogen levels.

Cognitive Function: Some studies suggest that BHRT may positively impact cognitive function, particularly in postmenopausal women. Estrogen has been shown to play a role in brain health, and BHRT may help maintain cognitive function as women age.

BHRT may benefit many conditions. As with any medical treatment, BHRT should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider who can assess individual needs, risks, and potential benefits. Additionally, BHRT should be part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and other therapies tailored to the individual’s specific needs.

  • My wife and I first starting coming to BodyLogicMD a few years ago because we were both feeling the effects of aging. She was premenopausal with slight weight gain, night sweats, and low energy. I was suffering from very low testosterone, as most men over 40 did, and had little energy. My wife read a book about hormone treatment by Susanne Somers, and we searched out doctors in Birmingham that offered it and found BodyLogicMD. After being on our treatment plans for about 90 days, we both felt amazing, and our symptoms were gone. We have maintained our new lifestyle...Read More
  • "At the age of 44, I was tired of feeling tired. I couldn't sleep through the night, waking up with night sweats and just not able to shut off my brain. During the day, I had zero energy. The 3 pm slump would hit me like a ton of bricks every day - regardless of how well I slept the night before. My libido was pretty much zilch, and I had been severely moody. Worst of all (but don't tell my husband the non-existant libido wasn't the worst), I wasn't able to lose weight to save my life. After hearing about BodyLogicMD,...Read More

  • "Dr. Donohue has been my doctor for several years now and the change in my health has been amazing.  I no longer have that “foggy brain” feeling, and my thoughts are now clear and precise.  I have more energy, and look and feel healthier than I have ever felt before. My friends and family have taken notice and commented favorably.  With this new boost in energy, I’m able to exercise more that I did before, and that has resulted in a better looking and feeling body, and a lower number on the scale!  I absolutely trust Dr. Donohue, he’s knowledgeable...Read More
  • "My husband and I have been a patient of Dr. Donohue for the past several years, and we can honestly say that seeing him has been nothing short of a life-changing experience for us. As we grow “younger”, we have been plagued with many age-related deteriorations, both physically and mentally. Dr. Donohue’s precise BHRT therapy and supplements have made us feel and look as young as we feel in our hearts, plus I love the fact Dr. Donohue is prompt, and we never have to wait more than 5 minutes!!!!!!!! The staff at his office is wonderful as well; professional,...Read More
  • "Our greatest possession is our health. That is what makes everything else in life possible. It’s sad that we live in a civilization where most physicians talk but don’t really listen, and the average patient is given about 90 seconds of face time. Thankfully, I realized that does not have to be the case. Dr. Donohue looks at all facets of your health, in detail, to find the best solutions to optimize your health. Unrushed and face to face, Dr. Donohue explains the treatments in a way that is easy to understand.  Dr. Donohue and his staff are amazing and attentive, and quick...Read More
