Hormone Replacement Therapy
It might surprise you how many symptoms can be eased with bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.
It is interesting to note that at one time, menopause was very much misunderstood, even to the point where it was used as a legal defense until finally the medical connection between menopause and mental capacity was severed and the “Menopause Defense” was no longer used in courtrooms. What might surprise you is this didn’t come about until 1980! Today, we still tend to overlook certain behaviors, but by and large, women prefer to seek menopause treatments to deal with hot flashes, night sweats, decreased libido, vaginal dryness, and other menopause symptoms.
At Boutique Wellness, our hormone replacement therapy is different than what you may have tried elsewhere in the Winston-Salem, North Carolina area. We utilize bio-identical estrogen that is identical in structure to the estrogen produced by a woman’s body. We balance both estrogen and progesterone so that you can experience relief from menopausal symptoms without some of the side effects of other hormone replacement therapy methods.
Hormone replacement therapy can prove useful for issues you might not immediately consider menopause symptoms, such as decreased muscle strength, low energy, fatigue, thinning hair, reduced mental clarity, difficulty concentrating, dry skin, depression, and weight gain. It is also important to note that even men can experience symptoms that bio-identical hormone replacement therapy can resolve.
If you have any questions about hormone replacement therapy, give us a call to schedule a consultation with Mary Ann Coffey, R.Ph, CCN to discuss your symptoms and learn more about what to expect from our bio-identical therapy.
