Bioidentical Replacement Therapy

Meaning

A therapeutic approach involving the administration of hormones that are chemically and molecularly identical to those naturally produced by the human body, such as estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone, to alleviate symptoms of hormonal deficiency. This therapy is distinct from synthetic hormone preparations due to the precise structural match with endogenous hormones, aiming for optimal receptor binding and physiological response. It is a cornerstone intervention in clinical endocrinology for managing conditions like menopause and andropause.
