BHRT stands for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. It uses hormones that are chemically identical to the ones your body naturally makes. Progesterone is one of these hormones, and it plays an important role in balancing the effects of estrogen and supporting many body functions.
BHRT Progesterone Therapy for Women
What is BHRT?
Why is Progesterone Important?
Progesterone helps to:
Regulate menstrual cycles and support fertility
Balance the effects of estrogen in the body
Support bone and heart health
Promote calmness, better sleep, and mood stability
Protect the uterine lining (important if you’re also taking estrogen)
As women enter perimenopause and menopause, progesterone levels naturally decline. This drop can lead to uncomfortable symptoms.
Signs of Low Progesterone
Trouble sleeping or waking frequently at night
Anxiety, irritability, or mood swings
Irregular or heavy periods (before menopause)
Headaches or migraines
Hot flashes and night sweats
Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Weight changes or bloating
How Does BHRT Progesterone Therapy Work?
BHRT restores progesterone levels closer to what your body naturally produced in earlier years. Since it is bioidentical, your body recognizes and uses it just like its own.
Benefits of Progesterone Therapy
Better sleep quality and fewer night awakenings
Reduced anxiety, mood swings, and irritability
Protection of the uterine lining (when combined with estrogen therapy)
Relief from hot flashes and night sweats
Support for bone and heart health
Is BHRT Progesterone Right for You?
If you’re experiencing sleep problems, mood changes, or menopausal symptoms, progesterone therapy may provide relief. When combined with estrogen therapy, it also plays a vital protective role for women who still have their uterus. Treatment is always personalized and Dr. Longley will work with you to find the right balance.
