HRT, or hormone replacement therapy, is a great treatment option used to replace hormones. As you enter perimenopause, your body produces less estrogen and progesterone, leading to symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, migraines, and mood swings. Undergoing hormone therapy can relieve symptoms of menopause and perimenopause, as well as reduce your risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. At WildBerryMD, we offer hormone therapy for men and women, including highly individualized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women in perimenopause and menopause. Bioidentical hormones are natural and plant-based, allowing the body to synthesize them more effectively than synthetic hormones. When you visit us for your initial consultation, we will write an order for blood work so that we can evaluate your hormone levels and determine the best treatment method for you. Here is a look at how HRT helps with perimenopause, the different treatment options available, and what to expect during treatment.

How Hormone Replacement Therapy Reduces Perimenopause Symptoms

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is a great option to treat perimenopause and menopause symptoms. Our treatment program will be carefully tailored to your health and needs, and can alleviate uncomfortable and disruptive symptoms that are affecting your quality of life. Some of the biggest benefits of HRT are:

Reduces perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms
Treats a wide range of symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, mood swings, irregular periods, vaginal dryness, low libido, itchy skin, low energy, depression, and anxiety
Improves your quality of life through symptom relief and enhanced health and mood
Improves sexual libido, improves mental clarity, reduces irritability
Has long-term benefits like a reduced risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, as well as some types of cancer
If you begin treatment early enough, you can reduce your risk of more severe symptoms

Our Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Options

We take a highly personalized approach to BHRT for women. We consider your lifestyle and personal preferences as well as your medical history, health, and symptoms. We will have you complete laboratory blood testing and may have you complete a female hormone self-assessment. We will then determine the ideal levels of estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, DHEA, thyroid hormone, and testosterone for optimal symptom relief and health. We use oral hormone therapy to ensure fast-acting and consistent results.

What to Expect During Hormone Therapy

Some people may experience a brief period of additional symptoms as they begin hormone therapy. That is your body’s way of adjusting to the new levels of hormones in your bloodstream. You may experience side effects like nausea, headaches, breast tenderness, bloating, spotting, and mood swings as your body adjusts, but they should go away in a few weeks or months. Some people experience long-term side effects such as changes in hair growth patterns and body composition. After a few weeks, you will notice gradual changes like:

Improved sleep
Fewer hot flashes or night sweats
Improved mood and energy levels
Reduced facial and body hair growth
Improved skin texture
