Frequently Asked Questions
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment that supplements or replaces hormones that are no longer produced in sufficient quantities by the body. For women, this typically involves estrogen and progesterone to manage menopause symptoms. For men, it often involves testosterone to address age-related hormone decline. Our approach to HRT is individualized, focusing on optimizing hormone levels based on your specific symptoms, medical history, and laboratory results.
You might benefit from HRT if you're experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance such as fatigue, mood changes, sleep disturbances, decreased libido, hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, or weight changes. Comprehensive laboratory testing and a thorough evaluation of your symptoms and medical history help us determine if hormone imbalance is contributing to your symptoms and if HRT is appropriate for you.
When appropriately prescribed, HRT can alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep disturbances, brain fog, and vaginal dryness in women. For men, benefits may include improved energy, enhanced mood, increased muscle mass, better libido, and improved cognitive function. Some research suggests HRT may also provide long-term benefits for bone health, cardiovascular function, and cognitive health, though these vary by individual.
We offer various administration methods including oral tablets, topical creams/gels, patches, injections, and implantable pellets. Each method has its advantages and considerations regarding convenience, absorption, metabolism, and side effect profiles. We help you select the most appropriate delivery method based on your preferences, lifestyle, medical history, and the specific hormones being replaced.
When properly prescribed and monitored, HRT can be safe for many individuals. Safety depends on various factors including your age, medical history, family history, and specific hormone needs. We conduct a thorough risk assessment before recommending HRT and implement regular monitoring to ensure ongoing safety. The risks and benefits vary for each person, which is why we take an individualized approach to treatment planning and follow-up care.
