Why Should Women Consider Hormone Replacement Therapy?

As women transition through menopause, hormone flucuations cause symptoms like hot flashes, low libidio, low energy, and fatigue. Finding the right treatment can be a daunting task. At Elevate Medical Group, our providers prescribe Bio-identical Hormone Replacement therapy ( BHRT) using bio-identical estogens, progesterone, and testosterone to restore hormone levels. Misconceptions about BHRT can prevent women from receiving effective treatment. Understanding BHRT facts can help you decide on your treatment path. Menopause doesn’t mean losing control. Learn how BHRT can help manage your symptoms. Elevate Medical Group is here and ready to address your questions and help you determine if BHRT is right for you.

What should I be taking for BHRT?
Dosing will be determined by your clinical response, normally you want to be able to use the lowest effective dose at the most efficient interval. Once your symptoms start to respond and your labs support that observation, the provider will determine the best maintenance dose for your body.

How long does it take to start to notice a difference?
After several months of HRT therapy, many patients experience more lean muscle growth, enhanced recovery after exercising, more energy, less fatigue, improved sleep and improved vasomotor symptoms (fewer hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness). It is important to remember that HRT is not a one-size-fits-all treatment protocol; some women will respond more quickly than others. Your mindset should be on the long-term results of HRT as opposed to the quick-fix mentality.
