Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves restoring declining hormone levels through medications like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. It can provide relief for both men and women experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, and brain fog. HRT helps regulate hormone production and maintain healthy levels. At WelnessTreatment Pro in Gainesville, Florida, we specialize in customized HRT programs to help patients regain optimal wellness and an improved quality of life. Our experienced and caring medical team will evaluate your lab tests, health history, and lifestyle to create a personalized treatment plan.
Hormone levels naturally decline with age, but sometimes the drop is more severe and causes distressing symptoms. Common signs of hormone deficiency include:
If you're experiencing multiple symptoms of hormone imbalance, it's important to get tested by a hormone specialist. Proper diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment.
HRT restores hormones to healthy physiologic levels through administration of bioidentical hormones - compounds that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the body.
Treatment typically involves testosterone therapy for men and a combination of estrogen and progesterone therapy for women. The goal is to eliminate uncomfortable symptoms by stabilizing hormone production and maintaining youthful levels.
HRT can be delivered through:
| Delivery Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Injections | Intramuscular injection of testosterone |
| Gels & Creams | Transdermal gels and creams absorbed through the skin |
| Pellets | Small implants placed under the skin that release hormones gradually |
| Patches | Adhesive patches placed on the skin that transmit hormones |
| Oral Capsules | Micronized progesterone and estrogen tablets |
Our experienced hormone replacement therapy doctor will help determine the ideal delivery method based on your health profile and needs.
Restoring optimal hormone balance with HRT provides many benefits:
Since hormone levels are highly individualized, testing is necessary to determine if treatment is warranted.
We utilize advanced clinical lab testing to accurately evaluate testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid, cortisol, and other hormone levels. This allows our hormone specialist to precisely identify deficiencies and customize effective treatment plans.
Based on test results and clinical evaluation, we can restore hormone balance using bioidentical hormones to resolve symptoms and optimize wellness. Ongoing testing helps monitor patient progress and make dosage adjustments as needed.
Accurate lab testing combined with clinical expertise provides the best opportunity for successful long-term hormone replacement therapy.
