Hormones play a crucial role in regulating many of the body's functions. However, as we age, hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to undesirable symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help restore hormonal balance and provide relief from symptoms. Hormone Harmony Clinic in Doylestown offers comprehensive HRT services to help you feel your best.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves supplementing your body with hormones that have become imbalanced or deficient. The most common hormones replaced are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. HRT can provide relief from symptoms associated with menopause, perimenopause, and andropause (male menopause). It can also be used to treat thyroid and adrenal hormone imbalances.
At Hormone Harmony Clinic, our physicians carefully evaluate your hormone levels through blood tests and tailor a treatment plan with bioidentical hormones - hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced by the body. This individualized approach provides optimal treatment outcomes.
In short, balancing your hormones with HRT can help you look and feel your best during midlife and beyond. Our physicians will ensure you receive the right hormones in the proper doses to suit your needs.
Our hormone therapy program begins with an initial consultation, where we'll take a full health history and identify your needs and goals. We'll check your blood levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and DHEA. This allows us to identify any deficiencies.
Once hormonal imbalances are identified, your physician will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan. This may include:
We utilize high quality bioidentical hormones to closely match what your body produces naturally. Treatment is carefully monitored with follow up blood tests and adjusted based on your response.
Your HRT treatment will be most effective when combined with a healthy lifestyle. We provide tailored recommendations on:
Hormone replacement therapy was originally developed in the 1930s to treat menopausal symptoms in women. However, it was later discovered that HRT also has beneficial effects for transgender women undergoing gender transition. Estrogen therapy helps transgender women develop breasts, soften skin, and redistribute body fat to more feminine patterns. This unexpected use has improved quality of life for many transgender individuals.
The optimal window for beginning HRT is within 1-5 years of the onset of perimenopause, the transition phase leading up to menopause. Perimenopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings result from fluctuating estrogen levels. Starting HRT at the first signs of hormonal decline provides the best relief.
That said, it's never too late to benefit from HRT. Even 10 or 20 years after menopause, balancing your hormones can provide substantial symptom relief, along with key health benefits like preserving bone density and reducing heart disease and dementia risk.
Our physicians will determine the right hormone regimens based on your needs and stage of hormonal aging. The key is starting before severe deficiencies develop that can be difficult to reverse.
In addition to HRT, we partner with trusted local businesses to provide comprehensive care during your treatment:
