Hormone Therapy Overview

There are a variety of hormone-based interventions we may recommend to patients displaying deficiency signs.

Basics of Treatment

In general, the initial steps look like:

  1. Complete lab testing to identify imbalances
  2. Review results and symptom history
  3. Decide on best treatment method and dosage
  4. Initiate therapy under doctor supervision
  5. Follow-up 3-6 weeks later to assess response
  6. Make adjustments until hormones normalize

We also provide patients materials explaining key aspects of their specific therapy regimen.

Types of Replacement Therapy

Some of the main treatment approaches include:

Estrogen: - Tablets (Premarin©, Estrace©) - Creams/gels (Divigel©, Elestrin©) - Vaginal rings (Estring©) - Patches (Climara©, Vivelle-Dot©) - Injections

Testosterone: - Gels (Androgel©, Testim©) - Patches - Pellets - Injections (cypionate, enanthate) - Oral agents

Thyroid (T3/T4): - Levothyroxine tablets (Synthroid©, Levoxyl©) - Liothyronine (Cytomel©) - Natural dessicated thyroid agents

DHEA: Capsules/tablets

Progesterone: - Capsules - Creams/gels - Vaginal gels - Injections

The method chosen will depend on the patient’s needs and preferences. Our experts help navigate these decisions.

The Importance of Swift Treatment

Seeking timely care for hormone issues is crucial. Left untreated, patients risk complications like:

In women, plummeting estrogen and progesterone after menopause make bone loss three times more rapid. Every year, women lose up to 20% more bone mass than the preceding year.

Likewise, testosterone and thyroid deficiencies accelerate sarcopenia (loss of muscle/strength). Muscle mass may decrease up to 5% per decade after age 30. Low thyroid also worsens cholesterol levels over time.

The bottom line? Prioritizing hormonal health promotes better aging and reduces long-term consequences. Our experienced practitioners can detect imbalances early and initiate therapy for optimal outcomes.

Interesting fact

Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Studies show that after transitioning with hormone therapy, transgender individuals experience reduced anxiety, depression and suicide risk, suggesting the therapy can greatly improve mental health and quality of life.
