While our BHRT program offers numerous benefits for many individuals, it is not suitable for everyone. You may not be a candidate for our BHRT program if:
- You have a history of hormone-sensitive cancers: Individuals with a history of breast, ovarian, uterine, or prostate cancer should avoid BHRT, as it may exacerbate these conditions.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding: Hormonal treatments can affect both the mother and the baby, making BHRT unsuitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- You have active liver disease: Hormonal therapies can impact liver function, so individuals with active liver disease should not participate in BHRT.
- You have untreated or uncontrolled endocrine disorders: Conditions such as untreated thyroid disorders or adrenal gland disorders need to be managed before considering BHRT. However, we are able to offer assistance in managing these endocrine disorders outside of our BHRT program. Once properly managed, it may be possible to enroll in BHRT therapy.
- You have a history of thromboembolic events: Those with a history of blood clots, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or pulmonary embolism (PE) should avoid BHRT due to the increased risk of these conditions.
- You have severe cardiovascular disease: Individuals with severe heart conditions may not be suitable candidates for BHRT, as it can potentially exacerbate cardiovascular issues.
If you have any of these conditions or concerns, please consult with our team to explore alternative treatments that may be more appropriate for your health needs.
