Hormone Replacement

Starting at age 40, women’s bodies start to deplete testosterone. Bio-identical HRT with testosterone has overall health benefits. Peri- and post-menopausal women will experience symptoms and low estradiol levels in the blood work, which would require estradiol replacement as pellets, cream, or patches.

We determine hormone deficiency from hormone panel blood work results and client specific complaints. Treatment is based on pre-/peri-/post-menopausal diagnoses. Please check (link) for female specific hormone assessment questionnaires.

Patients with any of the following are not candidates for hormone therapy:

• Active cancers or history of breast cancers.
• Blood clotting disorders.
• Liver-related diseases.

Patients with a history of sleep apnea and cardiac diseases need specialist evaluation.

Follow-ups are done every three months and as needed after the initial treatment plan is completed.

The provider will provide instructions on how to apply the cream.

Please keep away from children.

Please watch the following video:

• For women, no soaking for 5 days. 
• No strenuous leg exercises such as biking, running, jogging, or lifting for 5 days.
• Dressing can be removed in 5 days.
• Use ice as needed.
• Follow-up appointments and blood work will be as recommended.

• Every 3-4 months for women.

Watch out for any redness, discharge, fever or chills, or itching near the pellet insertion site. Contact us immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.
