Is hormone replacement therapy right for me?
To find out if you’re a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy, your Monarch Concierge MD - Hilton Head specialist reviews your symptoms and your medical history. They complete a physical exam and have you undergo blood tests to assess your hormone levels.
What happens during hormone replacement therapy?
After personalizing a treatment plan based on your hormone levels, lifestyle, and preferences, your provider can prescribe hormone medications, creams, gels, injections, vaginal rings, or patches for you. Alternatively, they may implant a tiny pellet just beneath your skin.
In which case, your provider numbs the treatment area, makes a tiny incision, inserts a pellet, and closes the incision site. Over time, pellets release hormones into your body to maintain hormone balance.
What should I expect after treatment?
Regardless of the type of hormone replacement therapy you choose, your provider monitors your levels to ensure they stay within a normal, healthy range.
