I live in the Puliga region. I'm searching for a bioidentical hormone replacement therapy doctor (BHRT). I wouldn't mind traveling if need be. Thank you.

Dear Casey,
Here in Italy, the bhrt is not so... Widespread.
Unluckily.
I know a doctor who uses thyroid hormones, but only these ones and he is so far away. I went to Switzerland to buy them (I am near). You can find websites with the names of doctors, but I don't know how good they are.
There is only one name which appears often, he works in Rome too but I never met him. His name is Ascanio Polimeni. Good luck!

Hello,

I wanted to check in to see if you ever visited the Doctor suggested or found the hormone replacement therapy here in Italy.

Sorry for delayed response!

I ended up going to my GP and have now been prescribed 'Sandrena' gel for Oestrogen but she didn't give me any progesterone which I have read I should take with oestrogen to prevent the womb lining thickening. After a month I went back and lied to her by saying the pharmacist had recommended I also use progesterone so she then prescribed 'Progenorm' which, from what I can gather, is bio identical and you buy over the counter at the pharmacy. It's all a bit hit and miss! Let me know how you're getting on... I think it's good to share in this very confusing perimenopausal world as well as trying to understand medical terms in a different language!!! Good luck

There is a doctor in Switzerland near Belinzona Dr. Kuhnke, he works with the Rimkus method. There are a couple of German pharmacies (Apotheke) where you can order them. It's a bioidentical therapy.

Hello, I have been taking BIoidentical hormones for over 20 yrs. You must have a bllod test every year to make sure your levels are correct per your dosing. Yes if you jave a uterus you must be on progesterone. This will prevent uterin Ca. You should also be on the proper amt of testosterone we women produce all 3. I am movimg to Sicily I need to find a Bhrt doctor as well. If I find a provider in Italy/ Sicily I will post.
