We provide safe options for balancing your vital female hormones in Richmond VA.
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 the body undergoes certain changes associated with aging, such as menopause, hormone production slows down, resulting in imbalances that can cause physical, emotional, and sexual discomfort and dysfunction. Fortunately, Renew Youth offers expert treatments for balancing female hormones in Richmond VA. We help empower women to thrive during menopause by offering individualized treatment options to address their unique body chemistry and symptoms.
Replacing Female Hormones in Richmond VA
At Renew Youth, we offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to safely and effectively bring vital female hormones in Richmond VA to healthy levels. As experts in healthy aging, Renew Youth doctors are able to provide superior treatments involving the following hormones:
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: At Renew Youth, we recognize the importance of testosterone, the male hormone, for women’s health. We provide individualized dosages of testosterone to bring your hormones into balance.
Thyroid: There are two types of thyroid, T4 and T3. T4 only accounts for 20 percent of thyroid function, but it is the most commonly replaced type of thyroid. This means most doctors miss 80 percent of thyroid function. At Renew Youth we test T4 and T3 levels so that we can raise them both to healthy levels.
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 Richmond VA such as Renew Youth.
Oxytocin: Sexual issues including low sex drive and vaginal dryness often get overlooked because women may feel uncomfortable bringing them up and their doctors fail to ask about them. However, at Renew Youth we specialize in these issues. Our oxytocin replacement therapy can restore healthy sexual function and pleasure to women by boosting the hormones that contribute to arousal and orgasm.
