Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Raleigh, NC
Hormones influence energy, sleep, mood, weight, libido, sexual comfort, mental clarity, and how your body responds to aging. When hormone levels shift, symptoms can show up in ways that feel frustrating, confusing, and easy to dismiss as “normal.”
At Injectables by Dr. V in Raleigh, NC, hormone replacement therapy is approached through medical evaluation, lab testing, symptom review, and personalized care. Dr. V offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, often called BHRT, for women and men experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance.

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones that are structurally similar to hormones naturally produced by the body. Depending on the patient, treatment may involve estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or a combination approach.
The purpose is to help address symptoms related to hormone imbalance when treatment is clinically appropriate. Dr. V evaluates your symptoms, medical history, and lab results before making recommendations.
BHRT should be medically monitored. It is not something to start based on a quiz, a trending video, or the sacred medical doctrine of “my friend said it worked.”
Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance
Hormonal changes can affect people differently. Common symptoms may include:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Sleep problems
- Low libido
- Vaginal dryness
- Pain or discomfort with intimacy
- Mood changes
- Irritability
- Brain fog
- Fatigue
- Weight changes
- Changes in muscle tone
- Irregular periods
- Low motivation
- Erectile dysfunction or sexual performance changes in men
These symptoms can be related to perimenopause, menopause, low testosterone, thyroid issues, stress, aging, or other health factors. That is why proper evaluation matters.
Hormone Therapy for Women
For women, hormone changes often become more noticeable during perimenopause and menopause. Symptoms may include hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, mood changes, vaginal dryness, low libido, and changes in body composition.
Dr. V may evaluate estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and related health markers to determine whether hormone therapy may be appropriate. Treatment plans are customized based on symptoms, medical history, goals, and risk factors.
Hormone Therapy for Men
For men, hormone imbalance may include low testosterone or other changes that affect energy, libido, sexual performance, mood, strength, and recovery.
Men with testosterone-specific concerns should also review our Testosterone Replacement Therapy page, which provides more detail on TRT, testosterone injections, testosterone pellets, symptoms of low testosterone, and monitoring.
What to Expect
Your hormone consultation begins with a conversation about symptoms, medical history, medications, lifestyle, and goals. Dr. V may recommend lab work to better understand your hormone levels and related health markers.
From there, he will explain whether hormone therapy is appropriate and what options make sense. Treatment may involve ongoing monitoring, dose adjustments, and follow-up visits to track symptoms and safety.
