Traditional Hormone Treatment

Synthetic and pharmaceutical hormones are administered to rectify any deficiencies by traditional hormone treatment.  Since the chemical composition of conventional hormones is different from the hormones produced naturally in the human body, they remain structurally foreign to the human body. This is the major cause of several undesirable side effects.

Premarin is a non-bio-identical hormone which is obtained from the urine of pregnant horses. Provera is also an example of synthetic hormone. It causes bone loss or osteoporosis. Their combination called Prempro has been marked with a black-box warning for causing serious health risks. Support to this step has been found from the reports of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) as well.

Our Bio-Identical Hormone Treatment Method

Patients Medical provides bio-identical hormone treatment based on five dimensions –

• Unique individual – Each patient has separate focus and tailor-made treatment for complete cure.
• Mind-Body-Spirit whole – Hormones affect all aspects of life. So, the treatment must be extended to and coordinated with the complete physiology and psychology of a person.
• Empowerment and Partnership – The patient is empowered with the confidence to heal himself or herself and in the process he or she becomes the partner of the practitioner.
• Safety & Choice – As long as the processes are acceptable, the patients are offered with a spectrum of methods to select one. Upon further observation, the practitioners recommend further modifications.
• Best practices and practitioners – The practitioners in Patients Medical are highly experienced and first rated in their field.

On basis of these five dimensions, Patients Medical provides an integrative, holistic medical practice.

PROGESTERONE (BIO-Identical)

This hormone is secreted by the ovaries and is of equal importance to women. It is used in nature to balance the effects of estrogen. Natural progesterone allows women to feel much better than they do on any of the synthetic progestins and it is less likely to cause the side effects of synthetic products such as bloating, swelling, breast tenderness, bleeding, irritability and depression.

Studies show Micronized Bio-identical Progesterone May Protect Against:

• Uterine Cancer
• Breast Cancer
• Osteoporosis
• Fibrocystic disease
• Ovarian Cysts

ESTROGEN (BIO-Identical)

Estrogen is a hormone produced by the ovaries. There are three basic forms of estrogen: Estradiol 10-20%, estrone 05-20%, and estriol 60-80%. Of the three, estradiol is the most physiologically and biologically active. Bio-identical Hormone Replacement is comprised of either two (Bi-est) Estradiol and Estriol or all three estrogens (Tri-est) using a bio-identical formula that your body recognizes as it would it’s own. Topical Estriol face cream (0.6% to 1.5%) is used to treat Hirsutism, excess facial hair around lip, jaw and neck in women.

Studies show Micronized Bio-identical Estrogens May Protect Against:

• Strokes
• Osteoporosis (increases osteoclasts)
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Urinary tract atrophy
• Vaginal dryness & atrophy
• Poor body fat distribution

COMPOUNDED THYROID (BIO-Identical)

The thyroid gland is considered "Metabolism Central". This butterfly-shaped gland effects energy regulation in every cell, organ and tissue in the body. It regulates temperature, metabolism, and cerebral function. It also increases carbohydrate, lipids, and proteins breakdown resulting in weight loss as well as lower cholesterol. Compounded thyroid medication supplements T-3 as well as T-4, corrects deficiencies of Thyroid hormone and return you to optimal levels.
