Hormone Replacement Therapy for Woman

---

As women approach menopause, their hormone levels naturally decline, leading to symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, brain fog, weight gain, low libido, and fatigue. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can help restore hormonal balance, improve quality of life, and support long-term health.

This guide explains how HRT works, what to expect, and how we personalize treatment for you.

HRT replenishes hormones that decline with age, such as estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone. The goal is to relieve symptoms, protect bone and heart health, and support overall well-being.

Before starting HRT, we assess:

• Your symptoms (hot flashes, sleep issues, mood changes, vaginal dryness, etc.
• Your medical history (breast cancer, blood clots, heart disease, etc.)
• Lab tests (hormone levels, thyroid, cholesterol, and more)

HRT is not recommended for women with a history of breast cancer, blood clots, stroke, or uncontrolled high blood pressure.

Best for: Hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, vaginal dryness, mood swings, bone health.

• Patches (preferred option): Apply to the skin 1-2 times per week.
• Pills: Taken daily but may have a higher risk of blood clots.
• Gels & sprays: Absorbed through the skin for steady hormone levels.
• Vaginal estrogen: Available as a ring, cream, or tablet for local relief.
   

Best for: Protecting the uterus, improving sleep, stabilizing mood.

• Taken as a pill (at bedtime) or compounded cream.
• Helps reduce anxiety, promotes restful sleep, and balances estrogen.
   

Best for: Low libido, fatigue, muscle loss, brain fog.

• Typically prescribed as a cream or low-dose pellet.
• Boosts energy, motivation, and sexual function.
   

• Symptoms Improve Gradually: Relief begins within 2-6 weeks and continues improving over 3-6 months.
• Hormone levels are monitored regularly to adjust treatment.
• Lifestyle & nutrition play a key role in maximizing HRT benefits.

• Eat Hormone-Friendly Foods: Include proteins, healthy fats, flaxseeds, and leafy greens.
• Exercise Regularly: Strength training and walking help maintain metabolism and bone strength.
• Manage Stress: Yoga, deep breathing, and good sleep habits help balance hormones.
• Take Key Supplements:

                   Vitamin D & K2 (for bone health)

                   Omega-3s (for heart & brain health)

                   Magnesium (for relaxation & sleep)
 

• First follow-up at 6-8 weeks to adjust dosage if needed.
• Regular check-ins every 3-6 months to monitor symptoms and lab results.
• Annual check-ups with mammograms and bone scans as needed.
