Hormone therapy is often used to treat common menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and vaginal discomfort. Hormone replacement therapy involves medication that contains female hormones. Patients take the drug to replace the estrogen their body stops making during menopause.
Hormone replacement therapy replaces the estrogen that your body no longer makes after menopause. There’s systemic hormone therapy that contains an increased dose of estrogen and can treat menopause symptoms. There are also lower doses of estrogen that are often used to treat urinary and vaginal-related menopause symptoms.
As with every medical treatment, there are some risks tied to hormone therapy. These risks typically involve age, the type of hormone therapy, and a patient’s health history. At Hormone Clinic, we take an individual approach to each patient and work to find the treatment that works best for you.
Estrogen is available in the form of a patch, gel, pill, vaginal ring, cream, or slow-releasing vaginal suppository. Depending on your symptoms, we’ll provide a diagnosis and a treatment plan that fits your needs.
It’s essential to maintain a relationship with your hormone doctor to ensure that hormone therapy treats your symptoms and improves your quality of life.
While undergoing hormone therapy, be mindful of healthy choices, such as getting daily exercise, eating fresh foods, managing stress, and excluding harmful substances.
We recommend using the lowest dose for the shortest period to treat your symptoms to reduce risk. Of course, if you need long-term treatment, we will make a plan that works for you.
