Importance of Hormone Therapy in Arcadia, and Glendale CA

Hormones are responsible for supporting the function of many different systems in the body. Hormones including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid each play a huge role in women’s health. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is one of the best methods for balancing these hormones.

By inserting very tiny pellets directly under the surface of your skin, your body can gradually absorb the hormones it needs to function properly. This minimally invasive procedure takes only 5 minutes and causes no pain or discomfort. Each one of our patients has unique hormone levels that require a customized treatment plan. The medical professionals at The OB-Gyn & Incontinence Center will run a series of tests and thoroughly discuss your health goals in order to create the most successful plan.

Hormone therapy is most commonly used for patients who are going through the natural process of menopause. However, younger women may also use hormone therapy if they have a significant estrogen deficiency. Low levels of estrogen can be caused due to eating disorders, thyroid disorders, chemotherapy, low-functioning pituitary gland, premature ovarian failure, and congenital conditions that affect the ovaries. Hormone replacement therapy can increase low estrogen levels and reduce symptoms and risks associated with hormone imbalances.

Pellet therapy has amazing physical and mental health benefits. Even a slight hormone imbalance can have a huge impact on your reproductive and sexual wellness. Using pellets has proven to be one of the best treatment options for women experiencing symptoms of a hormone imbalance. Benefits of bio-identical pellet hormone therapy include:

• a much more controlled, gradual release to encourage proper absorption and reduce the risk of causing further symptoms of imbalance due to too many hormones entering your body all at once
• greatly reduces the need for expensive oral medications, creams, gels, and/or patches
• absorbs directly into the bloodstream which can help avoid hormones from entering other parts of your body and damaging the gastrointestinal system

There are numerous positive effects of bio-identical hormone therapy including the following:

• Improves mood
• Enhances quality of life both physically and mentally
• Prevents the development of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, tooth loss, and certain types of cancer
• Helps improve sleep
• Relieves symptoms caused by menopause
• Reduces body fat percentage
• Eases vaginal dryness and painful intercourse
• Diminishes night sweats and hot flashes
• Promotes muscle strength
• Reduces muscle and joint pain
• Increases sex drive
