Hormone Therapy Services
Supporting you through mid-life and menopause
Hormone therapy, also called bioidentical hormone therapy or menopause hormone therapy can help manage the symptoms of hormone deficiency and improve your overall health and quality of life.
What is Hormone Therapy & What Symptoms Does It Help?
Hormone therapy may involve the use of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone to help replenish the natural decline of hormones. Hormone therapy can alleviate common and well-known symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, low libido, and genitourinary symptoms. Other symptoms that improve for many women include muscle aches and joint pain, weight gain, thinning hair, crepey skin and brain fog.
Timing is important when it comes to disease prevention and hormones! When started early in the menopause transition, hormone therapy can reduce cardiovascular risks and it may prevent against osteoporosis.
A Contemporary Approach to Hormone Therapy
-
Start with an in -depth consultation to understand your symptoms, medical history, and goals. Together, we will conduct a thorough review of treatment risks and benefits based on your personal health history.
While laboratory testing is not necessary to confirm a diagnosis of menopause, it is important to evaluate certain health and hormone bio markers before beginning treatment.
-
Menopause care and hormone therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Your plan may include prescriptions for hormone replacement therapy, supplements, and lifestyle recommendations.
There is a range of prescription hormone therapy options available, including skin patches, creams, pills, and gels. Depending on your unique treatment plan, prescriptions may be filled at your local pharmacy or shipped to you from a compounding pharmacy.
-
Follow-up and quick check -in visits are available via phone, text, or email as you are adjusting to your hormone regimen. Scheduled check -ins are at 2 -4 weeks and 8 weeks after initiating hormone therapy. Once stabilized on your hormone regimen, visits are typically every 6 months.
