Bioidentical hormones in El Paso: what it means
If you are one of the 79,784 women aged 45 to 64 in El Paso and have searched for "bioidentical" hormones: the word means a hormone whose structure matches one the body makes. Estradiol, the main estrogen the ovaries make before menopause, and micronized progesterone both fit that description. Both come in FDA-approved prescription forms, from estradiol pills, patches, gels and vaginal forms to progesterone capsules.
Many products sold as "bioidentical hormones" or "BHRT" are compounded instead: mixed by a pharmacy for one prescription, often as a custom cream or a pellet. They are not FDA-approved, which means the FDA cannot assure their safety or effectiveness. In the FDA's words, it has no evidence that compounded "bioidentical hormones" are safe and effective. A 2020 National Academies review found no rigorous evidence of their safety and effectiveness.
El Paso has 129 OB-GYNs in the federal NPI registry, 19.0 per 100,000 residents, close to the US rate of 17.8 and above Texas's 15.4. With about 79,784 women aged 45 to 64 living in El Paso, that is about 620 for each OB-GYN in the city, before counting any younger patients.
Nearly all of the area's OB-GYNs are in El Paso itself: 137 practice within 25 miles, 15.1 per 100,000 of the 905,224 residents of that radius. VevaMD is an online option alongside them: a physician licensed in Texas reviews your intake from El Paso without an office visit, and an OB-GYN you already see stays your doctor.
For women in El Paso, a physician licensed in Texas can prescribe estradiol (pill, patch, cream or vaginal) and progesterone when they fit your history. VevaMD does not offer pellets. Because the dispensing pharmacy also compounds, you can ask whether your estradiol or progesterone is an FDA-approved product. Testosterone cream for women and Bi-Est are compounded and not FDA-approved.
Then there are pellets, implanted under the skin at a clinic; compounded pellets are not FDA-approved. The Endocrine Society cites blood levels well above the expected range in women using compounded pellets. ACOG advises FDA-approved hormone therapy over compounded preparations.

How is online hormone therapy in El Paso different from BHRT pellets?
Pellets are placed under the skin in a clinic, and compounded pellets are not FDA-approved. VevaMD's physicians prescribe pills, patches, creams or vaginal forms that ship to your door in El Paso, and do not use pellets. Some of those forms are compounded too, so ask which yours is.
