Hormone Therapy Q & A
Why do I need hormone therapy?
Hormone therapy, or hormone replacement therapy (HRT), is a solution for stabilizing your hormone levels in an effort to resolve symptoms often associated with perimenopause or menopause. This type of treatment might be right for you if you experience:
- Mood swings or difficulty concentrating
- Pain during intercourse
- Weight fluctuations
- Sleep disturbances
- Vaginal dryness
- Hot flashes
These are often signs and symptoms that your estrogen levels are dropping as you’re nearing menopause. Fortunately, modern hormone therapy solutions can get your body back on track, so you won’t have to live another day with these issues.
Which type of hormone therapy is best?
At Cary OB/GYN, your provider sits and talks with you about the symptoms you’re experiencing. They’re probably also going to run some labs to determine the severity of your hormonal imbalance.
The best type of hormone therapy for your specific needs depends on your symptoms and lab results, but your treatment may include:
- Oral tablets
- Injections
- Topical gels or creams
- Vaginal rings or suppositories
Hormone therapy solutions come in a wide variety of formularies. Your practitioner at Cary OB/GYN can help you select the best hormone therapy treatment (or treatments) for your needs.
How long does it take for hormone therapy to work?
It takes your body some time to stabilize your hormone levels after starting hormone therapy at Cary OB/GYN. In most cases though, you should start noticing an improvement in your symptoms in as quickly as a few days, with optimal results within the first month.
Because your hormone levels can continue to change, your OB/GYN has you check in regularly to ensure your hormone therapy plan is working for you. They can make any adjustments at any time. The team at Cary OB/GYN is dedicated to helping you resolve hormonal imbalance issues once and for all.
