Hormone therapy involves supplementing hormones that are low or out of balance. It can alleviate symptoms related to male and female hormone deficiencies or declines.
Bioidentical hormones identical to those naturally produced by the body are used. They are derived from plant sources and custom-formulated in a compounding pharmacy. The hormones and dosages can be precisely tailored to your individual hormonal needs.
Hormone therapy gets to the root cause of hormonally-related symptoms. It can provide transformative relief when you have exhausted other options. Continue reading to learn more about how it works and why Hormone Harmony Clinic is the top choice for hormone therapy in El Paso.
You may be a candidate for hormone therapy if you experience any of the following:
* Hot flashes, night sweats * Vaginal dryness, discomfort during intimacy * Anxiety, irritability, depression * Fatigue, sleep problems, reduced stamina * Reduced muscle mass * Weight gain, increased body fat * Thinning hair and skin
* Loss of muscle mass * Weight gain, increased body fat * Mood changes, irritability, depression * Lack of motivation, mental fog * Reduced libido * Erectile dysfunction * Loss of body and facial hair
These symptoms can begin in the mid-30s and 40s as hormone production starts to decline. They may be exacerbated by stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and health conditions. Hormone therapy gets to the root cause and can provide transformative relief.
Hormone Harmony Clinic starts every patient with comprehensive hormone testing. This gives us a complete picture of your hormone levels and balances.
We take the time to understand your health history and symptoms. Then we develop a customized treatment plan using bioidentical hormones tailored to your needs.
Follow-up testing allows us to monitor your levels and make dosage adjustments. We collaborate with you each step of the way to help you feel your best.
For women, declining estrogen and progesterone levels are often the root of menopausal symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help alleviate:
* Hot flashes and night sweats * Vaginal dryness * Mood swings and irritability * Sleep disturbances * Reduced motivation and mental sharpness
Estrogen therapy typically forms the basis of treatment. Estrogen declines most dramatically during menopause, leading to symptoms.
Estrogen supplementation comes in pills, patches, gels, injections, implants, and creams. We determine the optimal preparation and dosage to match your needs.
Progesterone is also commonly prescribed. Though levels of both hormones drop, progesterone declines first. This leads to estrogen dominance.
Restoring balance between estrogen and progesterone can provide tremendous relief. We carefully adjust the ratios to optimize your hormone health.
Testosterone may be incorporated as well, as it also starts declining in a woman’s 30s. Boosting testosterone can restore stamina, muscle tone, mental sharpness, and libido.
Thyroid and adrenal hormones may also be prescribed to address deficiencies causing fatigue, weight gain, and other issues.
Hormone therapy can have surprising benefits beyond transitioning gender. For example, small doses of estrogen delivered through a patch, gel, or pill have been found to reduce hot flashes and other menopause symptoms in cisgender women. Hormone therapy may also help strengthen bones, reduce risk of osteoporosis, and improve emotional well-being.
For men, testosterone therapy forms the foundation for treatment. As testosterone declines with age, symptoms such as:
* Loss of muscle mass * Increased body fat * Low energy and endurance * Reduced libido * Erectile dysfunction
can occur. Testosterone therapy can effectively alleviate these symptoms when levels are optimized.
Testosterone is available in injections, gels, patches and pellets. We help you determine which preparation works best with your lifestyle.
Thyroid, DHEA, and other hormones may also be prescribed to address specific needs. Adjusting hormone levels in tandem can enhance the benefits.
