Signs A Hormonal Imbalance May Be Causing Your Symptoms
During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes can affect everything from your energy and sleep to your mood and sex drive.
If you’re experiencing any of the following, your hormone levels may be out of balance:
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Brain fog or trouble concentrating
- Chronic fatigue or low energy
- Trouble falling or staying asleep
- Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
- Low libido
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Unexplained weight changes
- Changes in your menstrual cycle
Sound familiar? Let’s talk about how HRT can help.
How HRT Can Help You Feel Like Yourself Again
HRT uses hormones that closely match those your body produces, restoring hormone levels that have declined during perimenopause and menopause.
By bringing your levels back into a healthier range, HRT can reduce symptoms and help you feel better day to day.
HRT may help you:
- Reduce hot flashes and night sweats
- Improve energy and reduce fatigue
- Think more clearly and ease brain fog
- Sleep more comfortably through the night
- Support a more balanced mood
- Improve libido and sexual wellness
- Reduce vaginal dryness and discomfort
- Feel more comfortable, confident, and like yourself again
HRT Delivery Methods We May Recommend For You
We offer a range of HRT delivery methods, and we’ll recommend the option that best fits your symptoms, medical history, treatment goals, and comfort level.
Your plan may include one or more of the following:
Estradiol Patches
Twice-weekly estradiol patches deliver estrogen through your skin, delivering consistent hormone levels with a lower clotting risk than other oral options.
Oral Estradiol
Oral estradiol is taken daily and may be a convenient option if you prefer a simple pill-based routine.
Topical Gels and Creams
Topical estrogen gels and creams are applied to the skin each day, allowing hormones to absorb gradually into your bloodstream.
Vaginal Estrogen Cream
Vaginal estrogen cream delivers estrogen directly to the vaginal tissue to relieve dryness, irritation, and other menopausal symptoms.
Micronized Progesterone
Micronized progesterone is typically taken at night and may be prescribed alongside estrogen to protect the uterine lining.
Topical Testosterone
Low-dose topical testosterone may be prescribed when appropriate to support concerns like low libido, keeping your testosterone levels within a healthy range.
Are You A Good Candidate for HRT?
Hormone replacement therapy may be a good fit if symptoms of perimenopause or menopause are interfering with your sleep, energy, mood, comfort, or quality of life.
You may be a good candidate for HRT if you:
- Experience moderate to severe hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, fatigue, sleep changes, low libido, or vaginal dryness
- Are going through perimenopause or menopause and want relief from disruptive symptoms
- Are under age 60 or within 10 years of menopause onset
- Have a low risk of cardiovascular disease and blood clots
You may not be a good candidate if you have:
- Active or previous hormone-sensitive breast cancer
- A history of blood clots, including DVT or pulmonary embolism
- A history of stroke
- Severe liver disease
- Unexplained vaginal bleeding
- A high risk of heart disease or other health concerns that could make hormone therapy unsafe
During your consultation, we’ll review your symptoms, medical history, current medications, screenings, and individual risk factors to determine whether HRT is the right option for you.
Depending on your goals, we may recommend combining HRT with other treatments like medical weight loss or hair restoration to help you look and feel your best.
