Are there any side effects associated with bioidentical hormone treatment?
Because bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure of the hormones made naturally by your body, there are relatively few side effects. Side effects occur mainly when the dosage of hormone is too high for the individual. In some clinical studies, a small percentage of men reported acne, prostate disorders, skin irritation, breast enlargement, and trouble urinating. The most frequent adverse events consistent use of testosterone therapy included abnormal lab test, acne, some prostate disorders, and adverse skin reaction at the application site. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that does not go away within the first couple of weeks of use.
