Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) at MediTresse eases perimenopause and menopause symptoms with a dose built for you. Kim Pryslak, NP, provides personalized treatment and remote follow-up care at our New York City and Scarsdale locations.

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy at MediTresse?

MediTresse offers compounded BHRT to women in New York. It uses hormones with the same structure as the ones your body makes to ease hot flashes, poor sleep, and mood changes. Kim Pryslak, NP, sets your starting dose based on your symptoms and fine-tunes it later with a 24-hour urine test.

How Do Compounded Hormones Differ From Patches?

MediTresse's hormones come in organic primrose oil. Patches come in fixed strengths. Compounded oil lets Kim adjust your dose drop by drop, and every drop counts.

A Tennessee pharmacy prepares them through the BRITE program, which includes an app for symptom logs, orders, and dosing support.
