Hormone Therapy
Hormone changes affect more than just hot flashes.
Sleep. Mood. Libido. Vaginal and vulvar tissue.
If you don’t feel like yourself, this is where we figure out why.
This is for you if:
• You have hot flashes or night sweats.
• Your sleep is disrupted.
• You have low libido or changes in arousal.
• You have vaginal dryness or pain.
• You feel like your body has changed, and you don’t feel like yourself.
WHAT’S ACTUALLY GOING ON…
Hormonal changes affect multiple systems in your body.
Most patients experience:
Changes in estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone
Effects on vaginal and vulvar tissue
Changes in brain function, mood, and sleep
These systems are connected.
Treating hormones in isolation often misses important pieces.
Hormonal changes can also affect pelvic pain and pain with sex, which are evaluated together as part of your care.
This is what I do differently.
I take an individualized approach to hormone therapy.
This may include:
Estrogen therapy (systemic or local)
Progesterone when appropriate
Testosterone, when appropriate, especially for libido and tissue health
Local vaginal hormone therapy to directly treat tissue
Your treatment plan is based on your symptoms, history, and goals.
