Welcome to our in-depth Q&A session with Duncan Turner MD of Turner Medical Arts. In this post, we address common questions about Physiological Hormone Replacement Therapy (PHRT)—a natural, personalized solution designed specifically for perimenopausal patients using transdermal cream applications. If you’re experiencing symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, or sleep disturbances, read on to learn how our transdermal PHRT can help restore your hormonal balance.
What Is Physiological Hormone Replacement Therapy (PHRT)?
Duncan Turner MD:
Physiological Hormone Replacement Therapy (PHRT) is a treatment that uses bioidentical hormones—molecules identical to those your body naturally produces—to replenish declining hormone levels during perimenopause. This approach is designed to alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and mood swings by restoring your natural hormonal balance using a natural, gentle method.
How Does PHRT Work?
Duncan Turner MD:
PHRT begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your hormone levels, symptoms, and overall health. Based on your unique hormonal profile, we develop a personalized treatment plan. By using transdermal cream applications, we deliver bioidentical hormones directly through the skin, mimicking your body’s natural processes and ensuring a steady, controlled release for optimal results.
What Are the Benefits of PHRT for Perimenopausal Patients?
Duncan Turner MD:
The benefits of PHRT include:
- Symptom Relief: Reduction in hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and fatigue.
- Improved Quality of Life: Enhanced energy levels, emotional stability, and overall well-being.
- Bone Health Support: Support for maintaining bone density and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
- Personalized Care: A treatment plan tailored to your specific hormonal needs using a natural, transdermal cream delivery system.
By addressing the root cause of hormonal imbalances, PHRT helps you navigate perimenopause with confidence and renewed vitality.
Is PHRT Safe?
Duncan Turner MD:
Yes, PHRT is safe when administered correctly. Our use of bioidentical hormones in transdermal cream form is designed to work in harmony with your body. At Turner Medical Arts, we prioritize your safety by conducting regular follow-ups and making dosage adjustments as necessary, ensuring that your treatment remains both effective and secure.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PHRT?
Duncan Turner MD:
PHRT is particularly beneficial for perimenopausal patients who are experiencing symptoms related to hormonal fluctuations. If you are dealing with issues like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, or mood swings, you might be an excellent candidate for this therapy. A thorough consultation at Turner Medical Arts will help determine if transdermal PHRT is the right fit for you.
