Hormone Replacement Therapy

What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (or "HRT") provides a safe and effective way to address hormonal imbalances caused by the natural aging process or an underlying health problem. If your hormones are out of balance, it affects all aspects of your life, including your energy levels, libido, and mood. 

Hormone replacement therapy restores balance to your body using natural hormones derived from plants. These hormones are very similar to the ones your body produces, ensuring minimal side effects and long-lasting, positive treatment outcomes.

Symptoms that hormone replacement therapy can help with?

At Temecula Medical Group, the team uses hormone replacement therapy to manage a variety of uncomfortable issues, including:

• Low energy
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Mood changes
• Memory loss
• Weight gain
• Sleep issues
• Low libido
• Pain during sex (in some cases)

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT):

2. Improved Bone Density: HRT can help improve bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

3. Enhanced Libido and Sexual Function: Testosterone therapy can improve libido, erectile function, and overall sexual satisfaction.

4. Better Mood and Mental Health: Some men experience improved mood, reduced anxiety, and less depression with hormone replacement therapy.

Considerations

• The benefits of HRT can vary based on individual health conditions, age, and the specific hormones being replaced.
• It is essential to have a personalized consultation with a healthcare provider to weigh the benefits and risks of HRT.
• Regular monitoring and follow-up are crucial to adjust dosages and ensure the therapy's effectiveness and safety.

What does hormone replacement therapy involve?

At Temecula Medical Group, the team offers a hormone replacement therapy wellness program for men and women. To participate in the program, you pay a monthly investment of $119. What’s more, if you invest an additional $31 per month, you can enroll in the Concierge Prime Plan. That includes comprehensive medical care, as well as hormone replacement therapy. 

To ensure everyone receives the customized care they need, the team has both male and female providers on staff. Following an initial consultation, a physical exam, and a series of laboratory tests, your provider designs a customized treatment plan. Throughout treatment, you visit Temecula Medical Group about once a month.

At each check-up, your provider orders additional lab tests to monitor your progress based on your individual medical needs.

How is hormone replacement therapy administered?

Hormone replacement therapy comes in various forms, including pills, patches, injections, and implantable pellets. The type of hormone replacement therapy that will most benefit you depends on your age, medical history, and lifestyle. Following an in-office consultation and a discussion of your symptoms and goals, your provider can make recommendations. 

Is hormone replacement therapy safe?

Yes. Hormone replacement therapy is safe and usually well-tolerated. During the first few weeks, you might experience some mild side effects like bloating or acne, but these issues should subside as soon as your body adjusts.
