Abstract
It is important to understand the functions of the body's hormones and the options available to make the right choices for use in treating the symptoms of menopause. Bioidentical hormones are compounds that have exactly the same chemical and molecular structure as endogenous human hormones. In contrast, non-bioidentical—or synthetic—hormones are structurally dissimilar from endogenous hormones. Although it has been available for years, bioidentical compounded hormone therapy has gained popularity only recently. This article highlights the main functions of these hormones and how hormone imbalances can affect a patient's quality of life, the importance of lifestyle and diet and what bioidentical hormones are, as well as the differences in treatment in different countries and the meaning of compounding.
