Hormone therapy offers several reasons for consideration. It can address hormonal imbalances that may arise due to age, menopause, or certain medical conditions. By restoring hormone levels, it helps alleviate associated symptoms, such as hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, and low libido, enhancing overall well-being. For women experiencing menopause, hormone therapy provides relief from symptoms like vaginal dryness and helps support bone health. Similarly, for men going through andropause, it can combat fatigue, decreased libido, muscle loss, and cognitive difficulties. Hormone therapy may also be beneficial for individuals with hormone-related medical conditions or those seeking fertility optimization.

Hormone therapy, also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or bio-identical hormone replacement (BHRT) involves restoring hormonal balance in the body by supplementing or replacing hormones that may be deficient or imbalanced. Hormones play a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, mood, energy levels, sexual health, and overall vitality. When hormone levels decline or become imbalanced, it can lead to a range of symptoms and health concerns.

Through thorough blood tests and symptom assessment, we gain valuable insights to develop a tailored treatment plan that meets your specific needs.
Bioidentical hormones are hormones that have a molecular structure identical to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. These hormones are derived from natural plant sources, typically soy or yam, and are synthesized to replicate the exact chemical structure of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Due to their identical structure, bioidentical hormones are believed to be better recognized and utilized by the body compared to synthetic hormones. They are available in various forms, including creams, gels, patches, and pellets, and are commonly used in hormone replacement therapy to restore hormone levels and alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances.
Pellet therapy typically lasts 3 to 5 months in women and 6 months in men. The duration of hormone therapy can vary depending on several factors, including the individual’s specific needs, the condition being treated, and the treatment goals. In some cases, hormone therapy may be short-term and used to address acute hormonal imbalances or manage specific symptoms. For example, hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms or post-surgical hormone replacement may be prescribed for a few months to a few years.
Hormone therapy may be recommended as a long-term or ongoing treatment. This is often the case for individuals with chronic conditions or hormone deficiencies that require continuous hormone supplementation. Examples include individuals with hypothyroidism who require lifelong thyroid hormone replacement or individuals with certain hormonal deficiencies or imbalances that necessitate ongoing hormone therapy for symptom management and overall well-being.
