As you go through the process of menopause, your body produces less and less of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. The use of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is one way to end or lessen the unwanted side effects of menopause. In HRT, estrogen or estrogen with progestin – another hormone – takes the place of the hormones your body used to produce. We offer both conventional and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Conventional HRT involves taking standardized doses of hormones daily, usually in pill or patch form. Bioidentical hormones – which mimic the hormones produced by the body – are made from naturally-occurring plant products and are usually applied to the skin as a cream or gel. The decision to take hormone replacement therapy or not must be individual to each woman. You and your doctor should discuss your specific risks and benefits before committing to HRT.
