BHRT & Menopause Hormone Balancing

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses molecularly identical hormones (including 17β-oestradiol, micronised progesterone, and regulated testosterone) matching the exact chemical structure produced naturally by the female body. Under the clinical guidance of Dr Farzana—a member of the British Menopause Society—therapy is carefully tailored to restore hormonal equilibrium, relieve debilitating symptoms, and protect cardiovascular, cognitive, and bone health over the long term.

Women experiencing perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disruption, severe brain fog, mood fluctuations, intimate discomfort (dryness, loss of libido), joint stiffness, or unexplained midlife weight gain.

Your hormone journey begins with an unhurried clinical history and targeted blood testing (assessing oestradiol, progesterone, testosterone, SHBG, thyroid profile, and metabolic health). Dr Farzana prescribes body-identical, regulated transdermal gels, patches, and micronised oral capsules, titrating doses gradually with structured 3-month and 6-month review cycles.

Yes. All treatments begin with a private medical consultation so suitability and safety can be assessed individually.

Aesthetic and medical treatments may support your goals in suitable patients, with progress reviewed together. Responses vary, so identical outcomes cannot be promised.

Suitability is confirmed individually at a private consultation. Where a treatment is not appropriate, Dr Farzana will say so honestly and discuss alternatives where helpful.

Body-identical (or bioidentical) hormones are derived from plant sources (yams) and are molecularly indistinguishable from human hormones. Unlike older synthetic progestins, body-identical micronised progesterone and transdermal oestradiol do not increase the risk of blood clots and offer a vastly superior safety profile.

Starting during perimenopause—when early signs such as erratic cycles, sleep disruption, anxiety, or brain fog first appear—offers optimal relief and maximum protective benefits for heart, bone, and brain health.

Yes, when clinically appropriate. Regulated testosterone replacement is recognised by the British Menopause Society for women with persistent low libido, cognitive fatigue, and muscle loss that has not fully resolved with oestrogen and progesterone alone.

Modern BMS and international guidelines no longer impose an arbitrary time limit on HRT. As long as you remain healthy, experience symptom relief, and attend annual medical reviews, treatment can be safely continued for as long as the benefits outweigh the risks.
