Rebalance Your Hormones and Revitalize Your Life
Our hormone replacement therapy program addresses hormonal imbalances to relieve symptoms, improve sleep and support weight management—under the guidance of experienced clinicians.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) refers to medications containing estrogen alone or a combination of estrogen and progesterone. HRT replaces hormones that the ovaries no longer produce during menopause and can alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, insomnia and urinary leakage. Beyond symptom relief, HRT offers health benefits such as reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures, improving mood and sleep, lowering the risk of colon cancer and reducing the risk of diabetes.
There are two main types of HRT: estrogen‑only therapy (recommended for individuals who have had a hysterectomy) and combination therapy (estrogen plus progestin) for those with an intact uterus. Estrogen can be delivered via pills, patches, gels, rings or creams. Combination therapy reduces the risk of uterine cancer by balancing estrogen’s effects. The decision to start HRT depends on your age, time since menopause began, medical history and severity of symptoms. Starting HRT before age 60 or within 10 years of menopause typically carries lower risks.
While HRT improves quality of life for many, it carries potential risks. Possible health risks include increased risk of uterine cancer when estrogen is taken without progestin, increased risk of heart disease if therapy begins more than 10 years after menopause, and increased risk of blood clots, stroke, gallbladder disease and breast cancer with long‑term use. Common side effects include irregular vaginal bleeding, breast tenderness and mood swings. To minimize risks, providers carefully evaluate candidates, use the lowest effective dose and monitor patients regularly.
Our HRT program begins with an in‑depth consultation to assess your symptoms, discuss alternatives and review your medical and family history. We offer various delivery methods and adjust dosages to fit your needs. Throughout therapy, we schedule regular follow‑up visits to monitor symptom relief, check blood pressure and evaluate for side effects. We also provide lifestyle counseling—diet, exercise and stress‑management strategies—to support weight management and overall well‑being.
