Bioidentical hormones in McLean: what it means
Behind the label "bioidentical hormone replacement therapy" is a plain idea: a hormone whose structure matches the body's own. 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. None of these is FDA-approved, and the FDA has not reviewed them for safety, effectiveness or quality before sale. The FDA also says it has no evidence that they are safe and effective, or more effective than approved hormone therapy. A 2020 National Academies review found no rigorous evidence of their safety and effectiveness.
You do not choose a "bioidentical" product from a menu: after a private intake, a physician licensed in Virginia decides what, if anything, fits, and the form. VevaMD does not offer pellets. 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.
For its size, McLean is well supplied with OB-GYNs: the NPI registry lists 15, or 29.9 per 100,000 residents, against 17.8 for the US and above Virginia's 18.1. With about 8,289 women aged 45 to 64 living in McLean, that is about 550 for each OB-GYN in the city, before counting any younger patients.
Counting the area around it, 746 OB-GYNs practice in McLean or within 10 miles and 1,381 within 25 miles: 26.5 for every 100,000 of the 5,217,102 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 Virginia reviewing your answers from home in McLean.
A pellet clinic is a different model: it implants a hormone pellet under the skin during a visit, and 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's guidance is to prefer FDA-approved menopause hormone therapy to compounded hormones.

Where can I get bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in McLean?
From home in McLean: a physician licensed in Virginia reviews a private intake and decides whether estradiol, with progesterone if you have a uterus, fits. Compounded "BHRT" creams and pellets are not FDA-approved.
How is online hormone therapy in McLean different from BHRT pellets?
Pellets are placed under the skin in a clinic, and compounded pellets are not FDA-approved. Through VevaMD there is no procedure: a pill, patch, cream or vaginal form ships to McLean if your physician prescribes it. Some forms VevaMD's physicians prescribe are compounded as well; ask which yours is.
