Dr. Khalid Mahmud discusses the costs of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy and his book "Keeping aBreast: Ways to PREVENT Breast Cancer."

BioIdentical Hormone Replacement offers several benefits to women who are experiencing diminishing hormone levels. Benefits range from more energy to relief from those menopausal hot flashes. Many women wonder though what kind of cost is associated with these treatments.

There are three costs to consider - the doctor, the lab, and the hormones themselves. All of the costs vary widely depending on geographic area and the amount of testing and hormones needed. Some insurances cover these treatments and others do not so make sure to check with your provider before undertaking the appointment/testing process.

Dr. Mahmud also discusses his book "Keeping aBreast: Ways to PREVENT Breast Cancer." He says that he felt the book was necessary to educate women on what they can do to prevent a disease that terrifies many women. He states that there has been much published and covered in the media about heart disease and the way men can prevent it, but very little about breast cancer. The lack of media coverage on the subject is not a reflection of a lack of medical research however, so Dr. Mahmud took on the challenge of compiling this information in a single resource for women and doctors to learn about prevention.
