Why do I need postmenopausal HRT?

Postmenopausal HRT addresses the root cause of the symptoms relating to a hormone imbalance, a condition that is common in older women.

The transition to menopause can result in a hormone imbalance as the body slows its production of the reproductive hormones, estrogen and progesterone. This results in a variety of symptoms that can be severe enough to interfere with your quality of life, such as:

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Mood swings
• Chronic fatigue
• Vaginal dryness
• Low libido
• Weight gain
• Loss of muscle definition and strength

Imbalanced hormones may also affect sexual health and performance. For example, women may experience pain during sex. Hormone imbalances can also result in low sex drives and an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis.

What are bioidentical hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are made of plant materials and are structurally similar to the hormones your body makes naturally. The team at Resonance Psychiatry offers bioidentical hormone therapy using pellets that your provider implants under the surface of your skin.

Pellet therapy delivers steady levels of hormones into your bloodstream to rebalance your natural hormone levels. This type of treatment can ease your symptoms.

Balanced Medical Solutions also offers hormone therapy through self-administered injections and topical creams.

What’s involved in postmenopausal HRT?

To determine if you’re a candidate for postmenopausal HRT, your Resonance Psychiatry provider orders blood work to evaluate your current hormone levels. They also take time to discuss your symptoms and how they’re impacting your life. 

Candidates for HRT receive customized treatment plans that outline the type of hormones they need, the dosage, and the delivery system of the hormones. The Resonance Psychiatry team provides pre-filled injections, pills, and topical creams to administer at home.

Your provider continues to monitor your HRT therapy through routine telehealth visits and lab work.
