Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be a life-changing solution for women experiencing menopausal symptoms, early menopause, or hormone deficiencies. At First State Med Spa, our personalized hormone therapy programs are designed to help relieve symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, breast tenderness, vaginal dryness, and weight gain, while promoting overall women’s health.
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Hormone replacement therapy, sometimes called menopausal hormone therapy, involves supplementing the body with hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone to restore hormonal balance. HRT can include systemic hormone therapy, local estrogen therapy, or combination therapy, depending on each patient’s needs. Treatments may use estrogen-only therapy, combined hormone therapy, or bioidentical hormones to relieve symptoms and reduce the long-term effects of hormone deficiency, such as bone loss or cardiovascular health risks.
How Does HRT Work?
HRT works by delivering hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body. First State Med Spa’s approach will begin with a full examination and blood work, along with assessing the patient’s symptoms to deliver a customized approach. This approach allows for long-term adherence, fewer side effects, and better patient outcomes.
Who Is a Candidate for Hormone Replacement Therapy?
HRT may be suitable for women experiencing moderate to severe menopausal symptoms, early menopause, or estrogen deficiency. Women often seek relief from vasomotor symptoms, bone loss, mood swings, or sexual discomfort like vaginal dryness. Men can also benefit from HRT to help improve muscle mass, sexual function, and mood and energy levels. At FirstState Med Spa, we carefully review each patient’s personal medical history, including family medical history as well as lab results, before recommending a treatment plan.
What to Expect During HRT Treatment
Once you start HRT, patients can expect regular monitoring of hormone levels, adjustment of therapy as needed, and ongoing evaluation for symptom relief and side effects. Treatments can include a combination of estrogen, testosterone and progesterone. Our approach emphasizes minimizing side effects like breast tenderness, fluid retention, or vaginal bleeding while effectively relieving symptoms.
