Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy Birmingham
Oakley Medical Practice offers Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to address the challenging symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances.
Our specialists work closely with Dr Marian Gluck, a world-leading pioneer in BHRT, to develop a comprehensive, individualised private service for you.
Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy Birmingham
As a private GP, we offer eligible patients Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy to treat numerous concerns. Such as hormone imbalances associated with menopause, andropause, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), dysmenorrhea, Menorrhagia and post-natal depression.
Private BHRT differs from alternative NHS treatments, as it is 100% identical to the chemical structure of hormones found in your body. Essentially, we assess your body’s normal biochemistry and tailor a treatment to you.
No two bodies are the same, which is why BHRT is vastly superior to the general approach of HRT. HRT is a one-size-fits-all solution, which may work for some but not for you. BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to your own, which can reduce the risk of side effects and complications that HRT patients may face.
Before your treatment begins, you will have a blood test so our doctors can determine your hormone levels, and identify your deficiencies and excesses. During your consultation, your doctor will ask detailed questions about your symptoms to ensure we administer the right treatment to suit your body and lifestyle.
The best way to book your consultation is through our online contact form, where you can submit your details and concerns, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
For women, BHRT can help alleviate symptoms, including hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. And for men, fatigue, muscle loss and increased body fat.
Non-specific symptoms BHRT can help with include weight gain, memory issues, changes to your skin texture, bone density loss, thyroid dysfunction and adrenal fatigue.
During your consultation, you can share your symptoms with us, and we’ll advise you on whether BHRT is the best treatment for you. It’s important to note that not every symptom is listed above, so we recommend having a consultation with us. We’re happy to answer any questions you have.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is available on the NHS. However, at a private clinic, you’ll receive a far more personalised experience with specialists who take the time to understand your individual needs. Furthermore, private clinics often have greater resources than public facilities, so you may find that the wait for your appointment is shorter and aftercare is more easily accessible.
Bio-identical hormone Replacement Therapy has proven to help treat adrenal and thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, insomnia and symptoms associated with menopause and perimenopause.
Bio-identical hormone Replacement Therapy may not be suitable for you if you have had liver disease or inconsistent liver function test results. It is also unadvisable if you have or are experiencing blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, angina, porphyria, or you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Bio-identical hormone Replacement Therapy can reduce or even eliminate the symptoms of menopause and improve your health overall. Chemically, the hormones used in bio-identical replacement therapy are the same as those your body naturally produces. This could mean you experience fewer or no adverse reactions to the therapy because your body isn’t battling unknown substances.
