Hormone Replacement

As we age, many things about our bodies change. One of the things that changes, is our hormones.

The normal aging process causes hormone production to decline in everyone, resulting in hormonal imbalances that have both physical and psychological effects.

Hormone Imbalance Symptoms

  • Hot flashes

  • Night sweats

  • Fatigue

  • Unexplained weight gain

  • Mood swings

  • Urinary tract infection

  • Decreased sex drive

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Insomnia

  • Vaginal dryness

  • Fibrocystic breasts

Premenopause

It alludes to the time from a woman’s first menstruation to her last cycle. It is also the period of “normal” reproductive function of a woman.

Hormone Stages

Menopause

Marks the natural end of a woman’s reproductive cycle. The body’s ability to produce estrogen and progesterone naturally decreases. The ovary stops producing eggs.

Postmenopause

It’s the phase to begin after not having a menstrual period for 12 months. Women can continue to experience symptoms of menopause.

Treatment Options

By restoring the balance between estrogen, progesterone and testosterone in the body, the above-mentioned symptoms may be alleviated and even eliminated.

Once it is determined how much of each hormone you need to replace in your body to restore balance, you will have several options in which to administer the hormones. Your hormones can be easily taken by mouth in the form of a capsule, tablet or sublingual (dissolves under the tongue), or can be applied topically as a cream.
