Hormone Replacement Therapy

What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy uses supplemental hormones to restore balance in your natural hormone levels.

Supplemental hormones we use to treat low hormone conditions are all bioidentical. We do not use any synthetic sex hormones. These work like your natural hormones to regulate many of your biological functions, including your:

• Metabolism
• Body temperature
• Sexual function
• Cardiovascular function

HOOT HRT specializes in hormone replacement therapy for adult men and women who experience unwanted side effects of a hormone imbalance.

The experienced team designs an HRT plan to resolve existing symptoms of a hormone imbalance and to prevent further health complications.

When should I consider hormone replacement therapy?

Women can benefit from the hormone replacement therapy services at HOOT HRT if they’re transitioning to menopause, the natural end of their childbearing years. During this time, your hormone levels begin to decline, which can cause symptoms like:

• Hot flashes
• Vaginal dryness
• Reduced sex drive
• Mood swings
• Mental health issues like anxiety and depression

Men are also susceptible to low testosterone as they age. A decline in the testosterone hormone can contribute to weight gain, loss of muscle mass, reduced libido, and erectile dysfunction (ED).

The medical team offers in-office blood testing to assess your hormone levels and confirm an imbalance. They also complete a comprehensive health exam and review your medical history to ensure you’re a candidate for hormone replacement therapy.

What is involved in hormone replacement therapy?

HOOT HRT offers plans to restore balance in your estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels. Based on your symptoms and overall health, the team recommends the most efficient method to release a consistent stream of hormones into your blood.

These methods include::

• Creams
• Oral pills
• Injections

It can take some time to find the optimal delivery method and dosage to relieve your symptoms. Many people notice a reduction in their symptoms soon after starting HRT that continues to improve throughout therapy. The length of time you need to take hormone therapy depends on your age and other factors.

If you’re unable to tolerate hormones due to the risk of clotting disorders like Factor V Leiden or other medical complications, your provider can suggest lifestyle changes, diet improvements, supplements, and other strategies to relieve symptoms naturally.
