Bio-identical hormone therapy is a modern alternative to conventional hormone treatments. It is based on the use of hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced naturally by the body. Derived mainly from plants such as wild yam or soy, these hormones are transformed in the laboratory to exactly match human hormones (estrogen, progesterone, etc.).
This approach means better tolerance, fewer side effects and fine-tuning to each woman's specific needs.
Why consider a bio-identical treatment?
Bioidentical treatment may be suitable :
- women in peri-menopause or menopause,
- those suffering from hormonal imbalances (premenstrual, post-partum),
- patients who cannot tolerate standard hormonal treatments,
- or those seeking a more natural, individualized approach.
It is always based on a complete hormonal check-up, combined with careful attention to the patient's symptoms and lifestyle.
What is the difference with conventional hormone therapy?
Traditional hormone therapy often uses synthetic or animal-derived hormones, which can cause undesirable effects or be poorly metabolized. In contrast, bio-identical hormones are recognized by the body as its own.
This molecular similarity promotes better assimilation, greater comfort and adjustable treatment over time.
Rigorous, personalized medical care
At Clinique Suisse, in Montreux and Martigny, each bio-identical treatment is the subject of individualized medical follow-up. Our specialists draw up a customized treatment plan in close collaboration with the patient.
Regular checks enable us to adjust dosages and ensure optimal balance over the long term.
An integrated approach to women's well-being
Bio-identical hormone therapy is part of a broader approach to functional and preventive medicine. It can be combined with nutritional management, emotional support or complementary therapies (such as phytotherapy or osteopathy), to restore the body's overall balance.
This approach can also play a role in the management of certain chronic gynecological pathologies such as endometriosis, where fine management of the hormonal terrain is a key element of treatment.
