Hormonal Replacement Therapies
Hormonal Replacement Therapies
Hormonal Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment designed to relieve symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, particularly during menopause or other stages of life when hormone levels fluctuate. At the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at City Care Hospital, we provide comprehensive HRT services tailored to the needs of women experiencing menopausal symptoms, perimenopause, or other hormonal changes. Our goal is to improve quality of life by offering safe and effective hormone treatments under expert guidance.
Hormonal Imbalance and Replacement Therapy
Understanding Hormonal Imbalances
Hormones such as estrogen and progesterone play a crucial role in regulating a woman’s reproductive system, mood, and overall health. As women age—especially during perimenopause and menopause—the body produces lower levels of these hormones, leading to symptoms such as:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood swings and irritability
- Fatigue and sleep disturbances
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse
- Decreased libido
- Osteoporosis or bone thinning
The severity of these symptoms varies among individuals, often impacting daily life. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is designed to supplement declining hormone levels, alleviating symptoms and improving overall well-being.
Types of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Our clinic offers a range of HRT options tailored to each patient’s symptoms, medical history, and personal preferences. Our gynecologists work closely with patients to develop customized treatment plans for optimal results.
Estrogen-Only Therapy
- Recommended for women who have undergone a hysterectomy, as they do not require progesterone to protect the uterus.
- Available in various forms, including oral tablets, patches, creams, gels, and vaginal rings.
- Helps relieve hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal discomfort.
Combined Estrogen and Progesterone Therapy
- Prescribed for women who still have their uterus to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer, which can occur with estrogen-only therapy.
- Delivered through pills, patches, or intrauterine devices (IUDs).
- Effectively manages menopausal symptoms while maintaining uterine health.
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT)
- Derived from plant sources and chemically identical to natural hormones.
- Preferred by some women as a more “natural” option for hormone replacement.
- Available in custom-compounded formulations tailored to individual needs.
Localized Hormone Therapy
- Designed for women experiencing vaginal dryness or discomfort.
- Delivered through vaginal creams, tablets, or rings, ensuring targeted relief.
- Minimizes systemic side effects by focusing treatment on the vaginal tissues.
Our specialists provide comprehensive counseling on the benefits and risks of HRT, helping women make informed decisions about their treatment.
