hormone replacement therapy

Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT is a customized medical treatment designed to restore natural hormonal imbalances to relieve symptoms and restore overall health and wellness. We believe if your progesterone is low, you have “estrogen dominance” and that can cause problems such as mood and sleep issues and can also contribute to fibroids, endometriosis and cancer risks. We believe in the principles of bioidentical hormones, balanced and reasonable dosing, and steady levels. If low energy, low sex drive or muscle mass loss are issues, we offer the addition of women’s dose of testosterone.

Your hormones control almost everything your body does. When your hormone levels change during perimenopause and menopause, you may experience a wide range of disruptive symptoms, including:
 
  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Mood swings and irritability
  • Weight gain
  • Libido loss and painful intercourse
  • Incontinence
  • Anxiety and depression
 
If you’re troubled by low progesterone or menopausal symptoms but in good health overall, hormone therapy is probably a good option for you. Hormone therapy is especially helpful if you reach menopause early or if you have lost bone mass or other conditions that make other treatments less effective.
Our practitioner’s provide detailed consultations and exams including extensive blood work, if needed, to determine which hormone therapy is right for you. Your symptoms and examination provide the basis of understanding your hormonal needs. Sometimes hormone level testing can be helpful, but isn’t usually necessary to prescribe and manage the specific hormone replacements you need to restore your body’s optimal function.
