Hormone Replacement Therapy

What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many of your biological functions. Women transitioning to the natural end of their childbearing years (menopause) experience a decline in reproductive hormones like estrogen and progesterone that can trigger a range of uncomfortable symptoms.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) uses supplemental hormones to restore balance in a woman’s natural hormone levels. Murry Medical offers hormone replacement therapy for women looking for relief from persistent menopause symptoms.

Dominique customizes an HRT care plan to your needs and continues to monitor your progress with treatment through an online telehealth platform.

When should I consider hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy can be beneficial for women in perimenopause, the transition period before their menstrual cycle stops for a consecutive 12 months.

During perimenopause, reproductive hormone levels begin to decline and can trigger symptoms like:

• Hot flashes
• Brain fog
• Vaginal dryness
• Mood swings
• Night sweats
• Low sex drive (libido)

Mental health issues like anxiety and depression can also develop due to hormone fluctuations. Symptoms common in perimenopause can also continue throughout menopause and after a your enter your postmenopausal years.

By rebalancing your natural hormone levels with supplemental hormones, you can achieve lasting relief from symptoms that interfere with your quality of life.
