Hormones regulate various processes in our bodies. When certain hormone levels dip too low, it can cause unpleasant symptoms signifying a deficiency. This occurs naturally with aging, or due to medical conditions. The good news - restoring optimal hormonal balance through hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help you feel healthy and energetic again.
HRT involves administering bioidentical hormones to treat deficiencies. The goal is to supplement just enough hormones to alleviate symptoms, not achieve supraphysiological levels. With properly monitored therapy, patients report increased vigor, stable moods, better sleep, sharper cognition, and an overall sense of wellbeing.
Below are common hormone deficiencies and associated symptoms:
This manifests as low libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, fatigue, mood swings, or depression.
Perimenopausal and postmenopausal women endure hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, painful sex, bladder issues, sleep disturbances, anxiety, brain fog, and weight gain around the midsection.
The first step is undergoing lab testing to check hormone levels. Renew Hormone Institute partners with top diagnostics labs in Wildwood to help patients get tested conveniently. We analyze your reports to determine which hormones need balancing.
Common tests include: - Testosterone - Estradiol - Progesterone - FSH - LH - Thyroid Panel - Vitamin D - DHEA - PSA (for men)
Once we have test reports indicating a clear deficiency, we initiate individually-tailored HRT plans comprising of:
These plant-derived hormones closely match human hormones. Available options are: - Testosterone - For men - Estrogen and progesterone - For women
We provide hormones in easy oral tablets, sublingual drops, topical creams or gels, and injectables based on patient needs.
Vitamin and herbal supplements that alleviate symptoms, amplify therapy response, and support health. Those on HRT are advised to take vitamin D, B complex, omega 3, ashwagandha, magnesium, zinc, and other supplements we recommend.
- Monthly consults to monitor progress - Repeat lab tests every 3 months to calibrate dosing
The goal is to taper medication when optimal hormone levels stabilize. Most patients feel dramatically better within weeks of initiation. Therapy may be continued for several months to sustain improvements.
Hormone replacement therapy was once routinely prescribed to postmenopausal women to prevent chronic diseases, but research found it increased heart disease and breast cancer risk. However, short-term use for severe menopause symptoms is still considered safe and low risk by many doctors.
If low testosterone, estrogen or progesterone levels persist untreated for long, patients risk developing serious health conditions like:
