Chevy Chase is one of the DC metro area’s most refined communities — and its residents expect the same level of sophistication from their healthcare. Vashan Bioidentical Hormone Therapy, located 14 miles from Chevy Chase in Gaithersburg, MD, offers personalized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for both men and women — a natural, precise, and deeply individualized approach to hormonal health.

BHRT uses plant-derived hormones that are molecularly identical to those your body produces naturally, compounded to your exact hormonal needs rather than fixed commercial doses.

Frequently Asked Question

What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a medical intervention to restore the depleted levels of female hormones (estrogens) after menopause. HRT is the most effective approach to alleviate the symptoms of menopausal hormone deficiency, such as hot flashes, night sweats and low energy.

What are bioidentical hormones?

Bioidentical hormones have an exact biological-chemical structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. Due to this similarity, they can replicate the function of the body's natural hormones and have a high potency and safety profile compared to synthetic hormones. They are mainly extracted from natural sources and plants such as Mexican yam and undergo biochemical modifications (bio-transformations) to become identical to human hormones. Bioidentical hormones include Estrone (E1), Estradiol (E2), Estriol (E3), Progesterone, Testosterone, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and Pregnenolone.

What are compounded bioidentical hormones?

Compounded bioidentical hormones are formulated and customized based on the specific needs of each patient. These formulations are prepared after a thorough analysis of each patient's medical history and hormone levels. Every person has a unique body and will respond to therapy in a specific way; thus, close monitoring and medication adjustments are crucial.

What are the different types of BHRT?

BHRT comes in different varieties and formulations; but the forms that we compound are: creams, gels, troches, oral capsules, vaginal creams, and vaginal suppositories. Based on your lifestyle and needs, the hormone specialist chooses the formulations that suit you the best.

Can men also benefit from bioidentical hormones?

Bioidentical hormone therapy is NOT only for women. Men can also benefit a lot from hormone replacement therapy. Andropause is a condition that affects every 1 in 200 men. Its symptoms are similar to menopause in women, including loss of energy, reduced libido, night sweats, and insomnia. For these patients, testosterone therapy is used to Improve physical well-being and mood, increase stamina and strength, and decrease possible cardiovascular diseases risk.

Can BHRT use for weight loss?

Weight gain is mainly due to a lack of hormones or high stress hormone (cortisol) in both men and women.  In men, testosterone, and women, estrogen and progesterone are the hormones that regulate weight. Testosterone breaks down the stored fat, especially in the abdomen. Estrogen helps with appetite and craving for food, and progesterone converts fat into energy. When the levels of these hormones are low and not balanced in the body, weight management becomes hard. Thus, BHRT treatment that gets the hormones back on track ensures a more sustainable weight loss journey.
