Improve your health and mood with expert hormone replacement therapy in Skokie IL.
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 worse, the hormonal imbalance that occurs during menopause can put your overall health at risk. Fortunately, you can get safe and effective hormone replacement therapy in Skokie IL from Renew Youth™ to relieve your symptoms and also promote healthy aging.
Balancing Your Hormones
Quality hormone replacement therapy in Skokie IL is all about balance. This is why Renew Youth™ doctors test and treat all your vital female hormones when providing menopause treatment. In addition to relieving your menopause symptoms, balancing your hormones can also improve your overall health. Based on the results of detailed lab testing, and on your description of your symptoms, our experienced doctors will create a personalized menopause treatment plan including the specific dosages of hormones you need to feel your best. Our treatment plans focus on the following hormones:
Estrogen: Estrogen is of course the most important female hormone and it is very important to have healthy estrogen levels. 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: 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 don’t need a lot of testosterone, but the small amount of this hormone you do need has a big impact. 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: Thyroid imbalance can cause or worsen many common menopause symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, and weight gain. We replace the correct forms of the hormone to get your body functioning its best.
DHEA: DHEA is extremely important for protecting against the effects of the stress hormone cortisol, which would otherwise cause accelerated aging. DHEA also helps support immune function and overall hormone balance. In our hormone replacement therapy in Skokie IL, we provide DHEA by prescription, which ensures you receive the proper dosage and quality. You cannot achieve this with an over the counter DHEA supplement.
Oxytocin: Healthy levels of oxytocin help to trigger the chain reaction of arousal that eventually leads to orgasm.
