Let's explore key aspects of the treatment process at Balance Hormone Clinic for both women and men.
The starting point of HRT is uncovering hormone deficiencies through medical evaluation and lab testing.
We begin with a detailed history and physical examination to understand symptoms and health background. Targeted blood, urine or saliva analyses then pinpoint where hormone imbalances exist.
Some hormones evaluated:
Women - Estradiol - Progesterone - Testosterone - DHEA - T3 & T4
Men - Total and free testosterone - Estrogen - LH, FSH - PSA - Complete metabolic panel
Testing may reveal one or multiple hormone deficiencies to address.
Once we identify deficiencies, our physicians thoughtfully craft customized therapy plans comprising:
Hormone types & combinations: - Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone - Androgens, cortisol, thyroid
Delivery methods: - Creams, gels, patches, tablets - Pellets, oral capsules - Injections, suppositories
Dosages & Duration: Depending on lab results and medical history. Adjustments often needed over time.
Follow-up care continues until the patient achieves hormone balance and feels symptom relief. We also provide nutritional guidance and supplement recommendations as needed.
Hormone therapy requires consistency and patience to work properly. It often takes 3-6 months to correct deficiencies.
We schedule periodic blood testing during treatment to ensure levels normalize within target ranges. If they remain too high or low, the physician modifies the regimen.
Follow-up lab work and adjustments end once the patient reports significant symptom improvement and enjoys a renewed sense of health and well-being thanks to balanced hormones.
Recent research has shown that hormone therapy started early in menopause may provide cognitive benefits for some women. A 2021 study found that women who began hormone therapy within 6 years of menopause had better verbal memory and thinking skills in later life compared to those who never took hormones.
