What is hormone therapy?
Hormone therapy is an individualized treatment approach that may
help address symptoms associated with hormonal changes or
imbalances. Treatment recommendations are based on your symptoms,
health history, evaluation, and individual needs.
How do I know if I need hormone testing?
Hormone testing may be considered when symptoms such as fatigue,
changes in mood, sleep problems, weight changes, low libido, hot
flashes, or other concerns could be related to hormonal changes.
Our providers review your symptoms and health history to determine
whether testing is appropriate.
What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, often called BHRT, uses
hormones that are chemically identical to hormones naturally
produced by the human body. Whether hormone replacement therapy is
appropriate depends on your individual health history, symptoms,
evaluation, and treatment goals.
What symptoms can be associated with hormonal changes?
Hormonal changes may be associated with symptoms such as fatigue,
mood changes, difficulty sleeping, changes in weight, low libido,
hot flashes, night sweats, and changes in overall well-being.
Because these symptoms can have many causes, a medical evaluation
can help determine appropriate next steps.
Is hormone therapy personalized?
Yes. Hormone therapy should be individualized based on your
symptoms, medical history, laboratory findings when appropriate,
treatment goals, and response to care.
Do you provide hormone therapy for menopause symptoms?
Our providers can evaluate symptoms commonly associated with
perimenopause and menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats,
sleep changes, mood changes, and other concerns. Treatment options
are discussed based on your individual health needs and history.
Can hormone changes affect weight and metabolism?
Hormonal changes can sometimes contribute to changes in weight,
body composition, energy, and metabolism. Our providers consider
hormonal, metabolic, lifestyle, and other health factors when
evaluating these concerns.
How often will I need follow-up visits?
Follow-up schedules depend on your treatment plan and individual
needs. Regular follow-up allows your provider to review symptoms,
monitor your response to treatment, and make adjustments when
clinically appropriate.
Is hormone therapy right for everyone?
No. Hormone therapy is not appropriate for every patient. Your
provider will consider your medical history, symptoms, potential
benefits and risks, and other relevant factors before recommending
treatment.
