Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age or experience hormonal imbalances, our hormone levels can drop, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing these depleted hormones with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore optimal hormonal balance and relieve symptoms.
At Renew Medical HRT Clinic in Tigard, our physicians specialize in BHRT using a natural, integrative approach to help patients look and feel their best. We create customized treatment plans with bioidentical hormones tailored to each patient's unique needs.
The most common bioidentical hormones used in BHRT include:
We offer bioidentical versions of these key hormones to help patients restore balance.
There are multiple methods available for taking bioidentical hormones:
Our practitioners will determine the optimal delivery method for each patient based on the hormone(s) needed and treatment goals. The regimen can be easily adjusted over time if needed.
Bioidentical hormones have an excellent safety profile when prescribed and monitored by a trained hormone specialist. Since the molecular structures match the body’s own hormones, most patients tolerate bioidenticals very well.
However, there are some risks to consider:
By following specialized testing/dosing protocols and working closely with patients, our practitioners minimize potential risks and optimize treatment safety.
Many patients visit our Tigard clinic seeking relief from symptoms related to hormonal imbalance. Bioidentical HRT can be very effective for treating common deficiencies, including:
Testosterone is crucial for men and women. When levels drop, low T symptoms may appear:
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with bioidentical testosterone is extremely beneficial, especially when started promptly after deficiency is confirmed through lab testing. Along with relieving symptoms, TRT offers additional health benefits like:
Our practitioners develop customized TRT regimens to restore testosterone to optimal levels based on the patient’s age, health status, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals.
As women enter perimenopause and eventually menopause, their estrogen and progesterone production declines. This hormonal shift is responsible for most menopausal symptoms:
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) using bioidentical estrogen and progesterone is highly effective for relieving menopause symptoms and improving quality of life. Our compassionate practitioners walk patients through each stage of the menopausal transition to determine the right hormonal balance.
Based on the patient’s unique needs and health profile, we identify the optimal bioidentical estrogen and progesterone types, dosages, and delivery methods to restore comfort and vitality.

If you are experiencing unwanted signs and symptoms associated with hormone imbalance like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, hot flashes, or mood changes, we strongly encourage getting tested promptly.
The key is identifying deficiencies early before they progress further or create additional health consequences. Even mild hormonal declines that don’t yet produce obvious symptoms can negatively impact vitality and wellness over time.
Therefore, testing is advisable for:
Along with testing, timely treatment is critical after imbalances are confirmed. Restoring optimal hormone levels can help:
The longer hormonal issues go untreated, the harder they become resolve. That’s why early detection and prompt treatment are so important for maintaining wellness as we age.
The experienced practitioners at Renew Medical HRT Clinic use advanced testing and precision dosing protocols to safely restore hormone deficiencies. We create fully customized plans to target symptoms and protect long-term health so patients can thrive physically and emotionally at every age.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Their chemical structures are identical to human hormones, but the body processes both types similarly. More research is still needed on their long-term risks and benefits compared to traditional hormone therapy.
