Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) Montreal

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a medical treatment that uses hormones structurally identical to those naturally produced by the body to help restore hormonal balance. It is intended for both women, whose hormonal balance shifts during menopause, and men, whose testosterone levels decline with age (andropause).

Every treatment plan is based on an assessment of your hormonal profile through blood tests, followed by a prescription tailored to your needs and regular medical follow-up. Beyond managing the symptoms associated with declining hormone levels, this approach is part of a long-term health and healthy aging strategy, for women and men alike.

Because every patient's hormonal profile, goals and medical history are different, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy at our Dermapure Outremont clinic, which offers BHRT in the Montréal area, always begins with a personalized medical consultation with a physician. Together, you will assess whether BHRT is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

The Main Hormones Used in BHRT

Estrogen: contributes to reproductive, bone, and cardiovascular health, as well as overall well-being.
Progesterone: plays an important role in the menstrual cycle and reproductive health and works alongside estrogen.
Testosterone: contributes to sexual health, muscle mass, and bone health. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a form of BHRT specifically used to address testosterone deficiency.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Assessment

Understanding your hormonal health starts with a comprehensive evaluation. Before your first appointment, blood tests may be required to assess your baseline hormone levels and overall well-being. During your consultation, your physician will review your medical history, health goals, and test results to identify any imbalances that could be affecting your quality of life. Based on this assessment, a customized treatment plan will be designed to restore optimal hormone levels while prioritizing your safety and individual needs.

Step 2

Proceed with Treatment

Once your personalized BHRT plan is established, your physician will discuss the expected benefits, potential outcomes, and any questions you may have. You will receive a prescription tailored to your needs, which can be filled at a licensed or compounding pharmacy to ensure precision in your treatment.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

Regular follow-ups are essential for ensuring the effectiveness of BHRT. During these appointments, your hormone levels are reassessed through blood tests, and any necessary adjustments to your prescriptions are made. The frequency of follow-ups varies depending on your doctor's recommendations, typically every 3 to 6 months. Ongoing monitoring helps maintain optimal hormonal balance and allows for timely adjustments to address any changes in symptoms or overall health. This personalized approach ensures long-term success and well-being.

Contraindications

Before starting BHRT, it’s essential to undergo a thorough evaluation with a qualified physician, who will assess your medical history, current health status, and any potential risks.
