We provide safe options for balancing your vital female hormones in Chicago IL.
The discovery of hormones like estrogen and testosterone was a huge leap forward in medicine, because understanding these chemical messengers suddenly helped to explain a whole host of previously mysterious conditions. As we age, hormonal decline results in the underproduction of certain vital hormones causing the familiar symptoms of menopause like mood swings, hot flashes, and weight gain result. Fortunately, Renew Youth offers expert treatments for balancing female hormones in Chicago IL. All of our treatments are tailored to your unique needs and will include measures to adjust the specific hormones that are contributing to your symptoms.
Replacing Female Hormones in Chicago IL
When it comes to safely balancing female hormones in Chicago IL and banishing unpleasant symptoms, our most powerful option is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Here are the primary hormones that we treat and how our approach differs from the competition.
Estrogen: Most doctors only replace one form of estrogen, estradiol. At Renew Youth, we use compounding pharmacies that can replace estradiol and estriol. This allows us to provide women with the milder form of estrogen that has been proven to help prevent breast cancer.
Progesterone: Replacing estrogen without also replacing progesterone is dangerous, because estrogen can bind to the wrong receptors and cause unchecked cell growth (cancer). At Renew Youth we always prescribe bioidentical progesterone any time we replace estrogen.
Testosterone: Women need testosterone to maintain a healthy sex drive, but too much testosterone can bring side effects like oily skin and acne. While many doctors prescribe one-size-fits-all dosages of testosterone, at Renew Youth your dosage is always tailored to your needs.
Thyroid: Low thyroid is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed menopause-related issues that women experience. Even when doctors correctly identify low thyroid as the source of the symptoms they often fail to prescribe the types of thyroid the body needs. At Renew Youth we replace two types of thyroid, T3 and T4, to ensure your body can use the hormones effectively.
DHEA: DHEA is actually available as an over the counter supplement, but this option doesn’t provide the ability to get a customized dose. For that you need to come to an expert in female hormones in Chicago IL such as Renew Youth.
Oxytocin: Half of women over 50 experience discomfort during sex, but only a quarter of them talk to their doctor about it. Women are also unlikely to want to discuss low sex drive or poor quality or nonexistent orgasms, and most doctors won’t ask. At Renew Youth, however, we know that sexuality is an important part of a woman’s life in menopause and beyond. We offer oxytocin nasal spray to help improve desire and create more powerful orgasms.
