Balancing Your Hormones
Quality hormone replacement therapy in Hillsboro OR is all about balance. This is why Renew Youth™ doctors test and treat all your vital female hormones when providing menopause treatment. This has the effect of not only relieving your menopause symptoms, but also improving your overall health and wellness. The process starts with a careful assessment of your current hormone levels. We will run detailed lab tests and also collect information from you about your symptoms to help us create your personalized treatment plan. Here are the main hormones that we address in our treatment plans:
- Estrogen: Women have estrogen receptors all over their bodies. When estrogen is low, this can cause all kinds of issues with your health. Unlike most healthcare providers, we use a compounding pharmacy that can provide patients with the proper balance of two types of estrogen, estradiol and estriol, for safer and more effective treatment.
- Progesterone: Prescribing estrogen without progesterone is irresponsible.Renew Youth™ always prescribes these two in combination and we never prescribe the synthetic forms that increase the risk of cancer.
- Testosterone: Women do need a little bit of the “male” hormone testosterone in order to feel their best. At Renew Youth™, we always test for low testosterone and then give you the exact amount you need to fuel your sex drive, stabilize your mood, and keep your energy levels up.
- Thyroid: Many common menopause symptoms, such as fatigue and weight gain, are actually caused by thyroid imbalance.
- DHEA: Healthy levels of DHEA are necessary to prevent negative impacts on testosterone and estrogen levels. While it is possible to get DHEA as an over-the-counter supplement, this may not provide the correct dose for your unique body chemistry. The correct way to supplement DHEA is as part of your hormone replacement therapy in Hillsboro OR.
- Oxytocin: If you are struggling with sexual dysfunction, we can include oxytocin treatment in your hormone therapy. Taking this hormone before sex will improve arousal and orgasms.
