Bioidentical hormone therapy during the menopause

Our bioidentical hormone therapy helps with hot flushes, sleep problems and other menopausal symptoms.

Typical symptoms during the menopause

The hormonal changes during a woman's hormonal transition phase are mainly caused by the sometimes sharp drop in the production of oestrogen (especially oestradiol) and progesterone. The hormonal imbalance affects numerous bodily functions and can cause very different symptoms.
