Bioidentical hormones in Hempstead: what it means
"Bioidentical" describes a hormone whose chemical structure matches one the body makes. Estradiol, the main estrogen the ovaries make before menopause, and micronized progesterone both fit that description. Neither has to be compounded: FDA-approved estradiol comes as pills, patches, gels, sprays, vaginal creams and rings, and progesterone as capsules.
Only 3 OB-GYNs list a primary practice address in Hempstead in the NPI registry. For 58,569 residents that is 5.1 per 100,000, under the US 17.8 and below New York's 22.5. With about 7,393 women aged 45 to 64 living in Hempstead, that is about 2,460 for each OB-GYN in the city, before counting any younger patients.
Counting the area around it, 474 OB-GYNs practice in Hempstead or within 10 miles and 3,089 within 25 miles: 26.3 for every 100,000 of the 11,752,257 people who live within 25 miles, a dense supply. None of this replaces your own OB-GYN or a menopause doctor you trust; VevaMD adds an online route, with a physician licensed in New York reviewing your answers from home in Hempstead.
Compounded hormones are a different thing: a pharmacy prepares them for one patient, as a cream, a capsule or a pellet. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, so the FDA cannot assure their safety, effectiveness or dose. The FDA says it has no evidence that compounded "bioidentical hormones" are safe and effective, or more effective than FDA-approved hormone therapy. The National Academies, reviewing them for the FDA in 2020, called their wide use a public health concern.
Through VevaMD, a physician licensed in New York decides whether hormone therapy fits you and, if so, the form: an estradiol pill, patch, cream or vaginal cream, with progesterone if you have a uterus. Pellets are not part of it. Since the pharmacy that fills these prescriptions also compounds, ask whether yours is an FDA-approved product or compounded. Two options are compounded for certain: testosterone cream for women and Bi-Est are not FDA-approved.
Then there are pellets, implanted under the skin at a clinic; compounded pellets are not FDA-approved. The Endocrine Society points to a study that found hormone levels well above the expected range in women using them. ACOG advises FDA-approved hormone therapy over compounded preparations.
