Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women in Dallas

HRT FOR WOMEN

Hormone replacement therapy has been in practice since the 1950s.

What are hormones?

Hormones are chemical messengers secreted by our endocrine glands.

Our bloodstreams carry hormones to our organs and tissues to perform specialized and specific tasks. Hormone levels that are either too low or too high can prevent your body from functioning as efficiently as it should. Hormone replacement therapy for women can often restore women’s optimal hormone levels. Women with hormonal imbalances typically suffer from one or more of the following symptoms:

• Weight gain
• Loss of sex drive or interest
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Mood swings
• Trouble sleeping
• Vaginal dryness
• Urinary incontinence
• Irritability
• Depression

Human growth hormone (HGH)

Even after we stop growing, adults still need growth hormones.

Human growth hormone (HGH) is a protein made by the pituitary gland and released into the blood. Growth hormone plays a critical role in healthy muscle, how our bodies store fat (especially around the stomach area), the ratio of high-density to low-density lipoproteins in our cholesterol levels, and bone density. In addition, growth hormone contributes to normal brain function. However, after the age of 27, HGH in women can decline by 50% every seven years. Women with low HGH levels typically suffer from one or more of the following symptoms:

• Higher levels of body fat
• Fatigue
• Decreased sexual function
• Poor sleep (night sweats, tossing and turning)
• Less strength, stamina, and ability to exercise without resting
• Reduced bone density
• Changes in the makeup of blood cholesterol

After a thorough analysis of your individual needs and clinical testing, our physician will prescribe a customized compound of Sermorelin. This bio-identical hormone stimulates the secretion of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) from the hypothalamus. In as little as two to three weeks, you’ll begin to experience lower levels of body fat, better sleep, and enhanced energy, sex drive, and sexual performance. Ultimately Sermorelin can provide you with an overall sense of well-being.

Overview of Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

Menopause is a natural result of aging. It often causes hormonal changes that can trigger hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Often, these symptoms are mild. But many women may want to consider hormone replacement therapy to address more elevated and bothersome symptoms. Menopause is not the only cause of hormonal imbalances in women. Surgical removal of a woman’s ovaries, loss of normal ovarian function, and overgrowth of the lining of a woman’s uterus—known as endometrial hyperplasia—can also produce hormonal levels outside of normal ranges. Hormone replacement therapy for women can be administered in the form of creams, lotions, gels, skin patches, oral tablets, and rings inserted into the vagina.
