Hormone Replacement Therapy Q & A

What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy supplements hormones depleted due to aging, specific surgeries, or certain medical conditions, especially menopause. Women experience menopause when they stop menstruating, usually between ages 45-55. During this transition, your levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone plummet leaving you with symptoms that effect your quality of life.

Hormone replacement therapy can increase your progesterone and estrogen levels to minimize uncomfortable menopause symptoms and help you feel more like yourself again.

How does hormone replacement therapy work?

Hormone replacement therapy restores hormones to healthy levels through pills, creams, patches, or gels. Margaret can recommend the best type based on your medical history, symptoms, and personal preferences.

Once you choose the appropriate delivery method, Margaret can tailor the therapy’s type and dosage to address hormonal deficiencies and meet your health and wellness goals.

Who should consider hormone replacement therapy?

Anyone with symptoms suggestive of a hormone deficiency should explore the benefits of hormone replacement therapy, especially if lifestyle management and nutrition therapy aren’t enough to relieve uncomfortable symptoms. Margaret often recommends hormone replacement therapy for women experiencing menopause symptoms, such as:

Hot flashes
Night sweats
Low libido
Vaginal dryness
Insomnia
Bone density loss or osteoporosis
Mood swings
Memory and concentration problems
Weight changes

Hormone replacement therapy improves your hormonal balance to help ease these symptoms and improve your overall well-being.

What can I expect during hormone replacement therapy?

When you see Margaret for hormone replacement therapy, she reviews your medical history, symptoms, and current hormone levels to determine whether it’s right for you. This process may include bloodwork and other tests.

Most women begin to feel the effects of hormone replacement therapy within a few weeks, but it may take a couple of months to notice significant improvements in your symptoms. Be patient during this time and communicate with Margaret about any concerns or any side effects you may experience.

Your plan may change over time based on how your body responds to the treatment. Margaret will monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed to ensure you receive the most effective and comfortable care. Regular check-ins with her will help you get the most benefit from hormone replacement therapy and manage your symptoms effectively.
