Are you having hormonal changes?

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, then you may be having hormonal changes:

• Hot Flashes  

• Night Sweats

• Weight Gain, especially mid-abdomen

• Difficulty Sleeping

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Heart Palpitations

Hormonal changes in a woman's life can cause many symptoms and interfer with daily living. We are experts in evaluating and treating hormonal changes at any age. After a complete medical evaluation, labs such as blood or saliva are done to diagnose a hormonal imbalance or as a follow up to treatment. We use only bioidentical hormonal therapy such as natural estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. There have been hundreds of studies to prove the safety of bioidentical hormone therapy. 

​

How do we treat hormonal issues?

We treat hormonal imbalances in many different ways. Creams, gels, patches, pills and pellets can be used. We customize each treatment to the individual woman's needs and use the appropriate dose that will treat the symptoms effectively after reviewing lab results. We can use non-hormonal supplements or medications to alleviate the symptoms as well. 

​

What are hormone pellets?

​

Hormone pellets are the size of a grain of rice and are gently inserted under the skin, usually in the buttock area in the office. Pellets consistently deliver a steady dose of hormones for 3-6 months and is convenient for the patient since they don't have to remember to use them. Results such as improvement in energy, libido, hot flashes, night sweats, weight loss, moods, vaginal dryness, bone health and many others are quickly seen and have lasting results. Before starting hormone therapy, we have an in-depth consultation with you to discuss whether this treatment is right for you.

​

What is required before starting hormone therapy?

​

We perform a detailed assessment of the patient's medical history, complete a physical exam and order blood or saliva hormone testing.

​

How long do I stay on hormone therapy?

​

That depends on your medical history and medical needs. Each therapy is tailored to the individual patient.
