Bio-Identical Hormones
How Is Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy Performed?
Assessment: A consultation with Dr. Hatfield includes a thorough review of your symptoms, medical history, and lab tests to determine hormone levels.
Treatment Planning: Based on your results, a personalized hormone replacement plan is created using the best-suited delivery method—patches, creams, capsules, or pellets.
Administration: Hormones are administered according to the selected method. Pellet therapy involves a quick, minimally invasive insertion under the skin, while other methods are applied or taken daily as prescribed.
Monitoring and Adjustment: Follow-up consultations and lab testing ensure optimal hormone balance and symptom relief. Adjustments are made as needed to maintain safety and effectiveness.
An Evidence Based Approach to Menopause
What Are Bio-Identical Hormones?
Bio-identical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body, such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. They are used to manage menopause and perimenopause symptoms, including hot flashes, insomnia, irregular periods, breast tenderness, weight changes, incontinence, and painful sex. Unlike early synthetic hormone treatments, bio-identical hormones are tailored to match your body’s needs and are supported by evidence for both safety and effectiveness.
Dr. Hatfield emphasizes comprehensive lab testing to determine the precise hormone levels needed for each woman. Treatments may include patches, compounded creams, capsules, or hormone pellets. Properly administered, bio-identical hormone therapy not only alleviates menopausal symptoms but may also help prevent age-related conditions such as osteoporosis, heart disease, and cognitive decline. Every treatment program is customized to each patient’s medical history, symptoms, and personal goals.
Is Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy Right for You?
If you’re experiencing menopause or perimenopause symptoms and want a personalized, evidence-based approach to hormone replacement, bio-identical therapy may be an excellent option.

How Many Bio-Identical Hormone Treatments Are Recommended?
Treatment frequency depends on the delivery method. Daily creams, patches, or capsules are used continuously, while hormone pellets are typically replaced every 3–4 months. Ongoing monitoring ensures optimal dosing and symptom management.
Is Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy Painful?
Most methods are painless. Pellet insertion involves minimal discomfort at the site, and other delivery methods (patch, cream, capsule) are non-invasive.
What Is the Downtime After Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy?
Downtime is minimal. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately, with only minor soreness at the pellet insertion site if applicable.
