Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance

  • Emotional Symptoms

    These symptoms include fatigue severe enough to cause lethargic depression and anxious depression, foggy thinking, debilitating, and excessive intolerance to exercise. These can be caused from many other afflictions and so you must consult your doctor to be sure that your symptoms are linked to hormone imbalance.

  • Reproductive Physical Symptoms

     Many symptoms indicate dysregulated sex hormones. The symptoms can include tender breasts, breast enlargement, painful or severe menstruation, debilitating PMS, painful intercourse, miscarriages or infertility, mid-cycle pain, ovarian cysts, and low sex drive. Apart from hormone imbalance there are many other causes for these conditions.

  • Non-Reproductive Physical Symptoms

     Some symptoms include thinning hair, acne, brown spots on face, excessive hair on face and arms, thin or dry skin, low blood pressure, and unstable blood sugar. There are numerous likely causes for these conditions and so you must consult your doctor to be sure that your symptoms are linked to hormone imbalance.

Causes of Hormone Imbalance in Women

Hormone imbalance can occur due to the natural aging process in women and may reflect genetic tendencies for certain conditions. The hormonal balance is also affected by the amount of stress we experience, the food we consume, and exercising.

Non-Reproductive Physical Symptoms

Some of the physical symptoms of hormone imbalance in women can include things like acne, thinning hair, excessive hair on face and arms, thin or dry skin, brown spots on face, unstable blood sugar and low blood pressure. There are many possible causes for these conditions. We encourage you to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and make sure that these problems do not stem from another problem.

BHRT Pellet Therapy 

If you want to overcome hormone deficiencies and hormone imbalances at any age, BHRT or Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is the most natural way to do it. Bio-identical hormones have many advantages compared to conjugated hormones. They are delivered to patients in the form of pellets placed just under the skin in an outpatient procedure. What's more, the patients need less than a week to recover before returning to their normal lives and exercise routines.

What Are Troches

Troches are medicated lozenges and are an effective way to deliver some medications including bioidentical hormones. Troches are placed between the check and gum and dissolve in about 15 minutes to 30 minutes through the highly vascular oral mucosa with peak blood levels occurring within an hour.

  • The Troche Difference

    What is the difference between a pill you swallow and a lozenge that dissolves in themouth? On the surface there would seem to be little difference, but the difference is huge. 

    • When you take a pill or capsule it is physically broken down in the stomach, passes to the small intestine and subjected to intestinal enzymes, gets absorbed by the hepatic (liver) circulation, transported to the liver where it is metabolized and broken down further leaving only a small percentage of the original drug intact to eventually reach its intended target and to do its job.
    • This pass through the liver before reaching the general circulation is called first-pass metabolism. It is this reason you may have to take 100 mg of drug just to get an effective dose of 1 mg to reach its intended target when you take a medication through the oral route. First pass metabolism is affected by the health of the liver and also by other medication and or toxins the liver has to process at any time.
    • The medication in a troche enters the circulation through the oral mucosa. The medication then enters the central circulation and then carried to other parts of the body reaching their intended targets first before ever reaching the liver. Compared to swallowing a pill, troches are absorbed quickly reach peak blood levels in 30 to 60 minutes.
    • Troches provide a different dosage form that avoids first-pass metabolism and medications delivered by way of a troche enter the blood stream more quickly and absorption through the oral mucosa is more predictable and not subjected to the effects of meals on drug absorption as it is for pills or capsules that are swallowed.
