Hormone replacement therapy can balance your hormones using synthetic bioidentical hormones, or hormones that are identical to hormones naturally present in your body.
Examples include testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, and thyroid hormone. Hormone therapy helps relieve unpleasant symptoms related to menopause in women and age-related changes in both men and women.
Balancing hormones can help reduce the following symptoms often associated with hormone imbalance:
Hormone replacement therapy is noninvasive but can drastically improve your quality of life.
When you arrive at VitalityMDs for your appointment, your doctor reviews your symptoms and medical history. They complete an exam and use blood tests to check hormone levels and establish the hormone therapy treatment that’s right for you. Different types of hormone therapy include:
Using hormone therapy in pill form is a simple way to normalize hormone imbalances.
Bioidentical hormone pellets are tiny pellets the size of a grain of rice your doctor inserts underneath the skin to slowly release hormones into your body over time. They numb the area prior to insertion so you don’t feel any pain.
Low-dose vaginal hormone therapy products come as a tablet, vaginal ring, or cream you apply to the vaginal area for symptom relief.
In addition to pills, other treatments that can balance your hormones include shots, skin patches, gels, creams, or sprays you can apply to your body.
Your doctor lets you know if you’re a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy based on your health and risk factors.
Hormone therapy may not be right for you if you might be pregnant, have problems with vaginal bleeding, or you’ve had certain cancers, stroke, heart attack, blood clots, or liver disease.
During treatment, your doctor monitors hormone levels periodically using blood tests to make sure your therapy is effective. They adjust hormone dosages as needed to maintain a normal level of thyroid hormone, estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone.
