What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment that restores hormone levels that have declined or become imbalanced over time. As women age, hormone levels naturally change, which can lead to a variety of symptoms that affect daily life and overall health. These hormonal changes most commonly occur during perimenopause and menopause, but younger women can also experience hormone imbalances due to stress, thyroid disorders, or other health conditions.

Hormone replacement therapy works by supplementing the body with hormones to restore hormone levels to balance. Treatment is personalized and carefully monitored to ensure safe and effective results. The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms while helping you maintain long-term health and wellness.

What symptoms can hormone replacement therapy help with?

Hormone imbalances can cause a wide range of symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy may help relieve:

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Mood swings
• Fatigue
• Weight gain
• Low libido
• Brain fog
• Trouble sleeping
• Vaginal dryness
• Irregular periods

Balancing hormones can also support bone and heart health, as well as overall quality of life. Many women also notice improvements in energy levels, mental clarity, and mood once their hormone levels are balanced.

What types of hormone replacement therapy are available?

Hormone replacement therapy is personalized based on your symptoms, health history, and hormone levels. Treatment may include estrogen therapy, progesterone therapy, or combination therapy. Some patients may also benefit from testosterone therapy, particularly if they are experiencing low energy or low libido related to hormone imbalance.

Hormones can be delivered in several forms, including pills, creams, patches, pellets, or injections. Your provider will help determine which option is best for your lifestyle and health needs. The type and dose of hormones may be adjusted over time based on how your body responds to treatment.

Is hormone replacement therapy safe?

Hormone replacement therapy is safe for many women when prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical provider. Before starting treatment, your provider reviews your medical history and symptoms and may order lab tests to evaluate your hormone levels. 

Ongoing monitoring helps ensure your treatment remains safe and effective. Regular follow-up visits allow your provider to adjust your treatment as needed to help you feel your best.
