Improve your health and mood with expert hormone replacement therapy in Portland OR.
While the most stereotypical symptoms of menopause are probably hot flashes and mood swings, these are actually not the worst of the symptoms you may experience. Problems like insomnia, low sex drive, vaginal dryness, fatigue, and memory loss can affect your personal and professional life too. Even as these symptoms are driving you crazy, the hormonal imbalances that attend menopause could be causing damage to your health. To correct hormonal imbalance, relieve menopause symptoms, and pave the way for better aging, you need hormone replacement therapy in Portland OR from a trusted provider like Renew Youth.
Balancing Your Hormones
Balance is the cornerstone of our hormone replacement therapy in Portland OR. We test and treat all hormones relevant to female health and aging. This balanced approach provides effective relief for your menopause symptoms, which are often caused by a deficiency in more than one hormone. 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. Our treatment plans focus on the following hormones:
- Estrogen: Women have estrogen receptors all over their bodies. When estrogen is low, this can cause all kinds of issues with your health. At Renew Youth™, we prescribe a bi-est formula for estrogen replacement. This formula includes two types of estrogen (estradiol and estriol) for a safe, gentler treatment that you would get from estradiol alone.
- 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 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: By restoring thyroid to healthy levels, women can get their metabolism under control and beat fatigue, insomnia, weight gain, and other symptoms.
- DHEA: Healthy levels of DHEA are necessary to prevent negative impacts on testosterone and estrogen levels. While the typical over the counter DHEA supplement is too high of a dosage for most women, our hormone replacement therapy in Portland OR enables you to get the exact right dose.
- Oxytocin: Healthy levels of oxytocin help to trigger the chain reaction of arousal that eventually leads to orgasm.
