Improve your health and mood with expert hormone replacement therapy in Scottsdale AZ.
Menopause can derail your personal and professional life, with symptoms like mood swings and vaginal dryness that alienate you from your partner or insomnia and memory loss that can make you lose your edge at work. Even worse, the hormonal imbalance that occurs during menopause can put your overall health at risk. At Renew Youth, we can help you feel better and age better with hormone replacement therapy in Scottsdale AZ.
Balancing Your Hormones
Quality hormone replacement therapy in Scottsdale AZ is all about balance. This is why Renew Youth™ doctors test and treat all your vital female hormones when providing menopause treatment. 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 helps protect against cancer and supports the health of many systems in the female body. We offer a variety of different ways for you to get the estrogen you need, including estrogen replacement, which will deliver estrogen to every system in the body, or topical estrogen creams to target specific symptoms like aging skin or vaginal dryness.
- Progesterone: Estrogen is a growth-promoting hormone. Progesterone is necessary to control and moderate this growth and protect against breast cancer. We always prescribe progesterone and estrogen together, and we never use synthetic versions of these hormones. Synthetics have been linked to adverse treatment outcomes including cancer.
- Testosterone: Women do need a little bit of the “male” hormone testosterone in order to feel their best. Replacing testosterone can restore your sex drive, improve your mood, and help make exercise more effective in fighting fat and building muscle.
- Thyroid: Thyroid is essential for regulating your metabolism as well as the balance of your other vital hormones. Unlike most doctors who only test for T4,Renew Youth™ diagnoses low thyroid by testing for T3 free, the form of thyroid your body actually uses. This means we never overlook low thyroid in our treatments.
- DHEA: Without DHEA, your body will not be able to make its own estrogen or testosterone, which will worsen symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Although you can get over the counter DHEA supplements, for your safety we highly recommend replacing DHEA as part of hormone replacement therapy in Scottsdale AZ. 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.
