Improve your health and mood with expert hormone replacement therapy in Beaverton OR.
Menopause probably isn’t a time of life you’ve ever looked forward to. Hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, skin changes, weight gain, and other symptoms can make you miserable. The decline in estrogen production that occurs at menopause can also put your overall health in jeopardy. At Renew Youth, we can help you feel better and age better with hormone replacement therapy in Beaverton OR.
Balancing Your Hormones
Our doctors approach hormone replacement therapy in Beaverton OR as a nuanced effort to restore balance to all your vital hormones, not just a one-size-fits-all supplement of any particular hormone. When your hormones are in balance, your body works like it was designed to–like it did when you were younger. This means no menopause symptoms and a deceleration of the aging process. 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: Estrogen is of course the most important female hormone and it is very important to have healthy estrogen levels. 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: Because progesterone is necessary to ensure that estrogen is absorbed by the proper receptors in the body, any hormone replacement therapy involving estrogen should also include progesterone.
- Testosterone: Women need testosterone too! We bring your testosterone to a healthy level to support your sex drive, help even out your moods, and promote your ability to build lean muscle.
- Thyroid: Low thyroid is often the culprit behind common menopause symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, memory loss, and weight gain.
- DHEA: This hormone is vital for immune support and for promoting longevity. It can even help protect against cancer. Although you can get over the counter DHEA supplements, for your safety we highly recommend replacing DHEA as part of hormone replacement therapy in Beaverton OR. We’ll give you a prescription dose that will deliver the exact amount of DHEA you need.
- Oxytocin: Sometimes called “the love hormone,” oxytocin can help improve sexual desire and satisfaction for menopausal women.
