BHRT for men
The andropause, or male menopause, can bring many unwelcome changes, both physical and emotional. BHRT (bio-identical hormone replacement therapy) is a safe and effective way to manage the symptoms of the andropause.
BHRT creates a bespoke blend of plant-based hormones, which exactly replicate those which naturally decline during the andropause. By restoring your hormonal balance, your symptoms will be reduced and you’ll feel like yourself again.
BHRT may also provide long term protection against cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

What is BHRT for men like?
How does the BHRT consultation work?
We know that each individual is different, deserving a holistic and bespoke approach to achieve the best outcome. Your consultation will be fully tailored to your needs and the resulting prescription will be bespoke to your bio-chemistry.
For convenience, your consultations will take place online with our expert practitioner. All your prescriptions will be delivered to you and we can also arrange to carry out blood tests at your home or in your local clinic, whichever you prefer.
During your consultation
At the initial consultation we will take a detailed medical history, discuss your symptoms, carry out a BMI check and arrange your blood tests. If required, we may also refer you for scans, for example a prostate scan.
This consultation will ascertain whether you are a viable candidate for BHRT and if it is appropriate for you to proceed.
Your practitioner will also provide you with helpful lifestyle advice, to ensure you are meeting the challenges of the menopause from every angle.
After your initial consultation
Upon receipt of the blood test results and any other diagnostic test results, our specialist practitioner will contact you by email to provide your treatment plan and answer any questions.
Your practitioner will write a tailor-made prescription for BHRT hormones and the medication will be posted to you.
Follow up consultations
Your first follow-up online consultation will be used to assess your progress with the prescribed medicines, evaluate the improvement in your symptoms and, if required, make changes to medication dosages.
These consultations will continue bi-annually, and you can email your practitioner if you have any questions between appointments. Your medication is provided via repeat prescriptions which are valid for 12 months.

BHRT for Men– your questions answered
What is bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)?
BHRT is the use of bio-identical hormones to replace and rebalance the body’s hormones during the changes leading up to menopause and beyond.
Why do we need to replace our hormones?
Hormones are chemical messengers that travel through the bloodstream, impacting the function of every organ in our body.
Hormone levels fluctuate constantly—moment to moment, minute to minute, day to day, and seasonally—and are influenced by major life events such as puberty, adulthood, and the andropause.
Research indicates a natural decline in hormone levels as men age, leading to a decrease in energy, strength, and vitality. Additionally, lifestyle and stress can disrupt your hormone balance.
What is the science behind bio-identical hormones?
A bio-identical hormone mimics the molecular and chemical structure of the hormones naturally produced in your body, including the specific arrangement of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms. They are 100% identical to your body’s natural hormones.
We create a customised blend of hormones. Depending on your individual requirements this might include DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), testosterone, melatonin, and pregnenolone. This precise match allows the hormones to fit perfectly into their receptor sites, ensuring that their messages are accurately translated and their effects align closely with your body’s normal biochemistry.
Consequently, by personalising the treatment, we can achieve optimal results while minimising side effects.
The upshot of this is that, by tailoring the treatment to your physiology, we can achieve the best possible results and minimise any side effects.
Where do bio-identical hormones come from?
The hormones are converted from plant sources and manufactured as a powder, which is then available in oral pill or transdermal cream forms.
How does BHRT for men BHRT for women?
Hormones are essential for regulating every function in our bodies. The andropause (male menopause) brings about various symptoms due to declining testosterone levels, such as depression, reduced muscle mass and strength, increased body fat, and erectile dysfunction.
BHRT for men can alleviate these symptoms by rebalancing hormone levels. In many aspects the treatment is the same as that given to women, since it is customised to each patient’s specific hormonal needs, regardless of gender.
HRT vs BHRT
BHRT differs from conventional HRT because it uses bio-identical hormones to replace and rebalance the body’s hormones. These have an identical molecular and chemical structure to naturally occurring hormones, including the arrangement of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms. This allows for a natural, safe and effective way to supplement hormone levels and treat symptoms of hormone imbalance without the side effects of conventional HRT.
Conventional HRT offers a ‘one size fits all’ medication package using synthetic hormones that don’t replicate the natural hormones in the body, increasing the risk of side effects. By comparison, BHRT offers the facility for tailor-made medication packages and, as bio-identical hormones exactly replicate the molecular and chemical structure of natural hormones, side effects seldom occur. BHRT is available to women and men, both of whom suffer hormone imbalances due to the ageing process, to help restore and maintain optimal health and hormone balance.
What are the risks and side effects of BHRT? How do I know if I am andropausal?
Bio-identical hormones are not only better tolerated than conventional HRT, they can also be individually prescribed and fine-tuned according to your needs. With the possibility of adjusting dosages as required, side effects seldom occur.
How do I know if I am andropausal?
A simple blood test will measure your hormones and physiological functions, including your levels of testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) and LH (luteinizing hormones). We may test for additional markers, depending on your individual situation and the symptoms you are experiencing. The results will identify any fluctuations which may be indicative of the andropause.
Do I have BHRT for life?
No, throughout the process it will be entirely up to you whether to remain on treatment or finish. Your practitioner will advise you on whether they feel continued treatment will be beneficial to you.
If you are still feeling healthier and happier while taking the treatment then you can simply continue.
How quickly will the treatment begin to work?
You might experience some benefits immediately, but on the whole the best results will start about three to six weeks after your initial treatment. However, if you have a severe hormonal imbalance then it may take up to four months for the full benefits to emerge.
Can BHRT slow the ageing process?
Yes, BHRT is effective at slowing the ageing process, helping you maintain good skin condition, cognition, memory, energy and sexual function for longer.
Restoring your hormonal balance may also protect you against chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
I am already on HRT. Can I change to BHRT?
Yes, absolutely. You’ll go through the usual consultation process including blood tests and your BHRT medication will be prescribed on the basis of those results, taking into account your current HRT medication.
Is BHRT available for women?
Yes, please go to our BHRT for women treatment information.
