What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy? Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy explained with medical evidence and European regulatory context.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body. It is primarily prescribed to manage menopause-related symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbance, and vaginal dryness. This episode explains how BHRT is assessed, prescribed, and monitored in Europe.

You will learn:

• What “bioidentical” means in pharmacological and clinical terms

• The difference between regulated prescribed hormones and compounded products

• When hormone therapy may be clinically indicated

• Known risks and contraindications (history of breast cancer, thromboembolic disease, uncontrolled hypertension, unexplained bleeding)

• Required medical screening and ongoing monitoring

• When treatment may be declined due to safety concerns

We also outline how menopause symptoms are evaluated during consultation, including structured history, cardiovascular risk assessment, and shared decision-making.

This episode is educational and does not replace specialist gynaecology or urgent medical care where required.
