WHAT IS HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?
Hormonal imbalance can affect both men and women, causing symptoms including low sex drive, mood swings, and fatigue. But at Naperville Internist in Naperville, IL, patients can get an effective and lasting solution with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Dr. Rachit Marwaha offers HRT with bioidentical hormone pellets that are inserted beneath the skin. During a consultation before your treatment, Dr. Marwaha will gather information about your lifestyle and medical history and perform a blood panel before recommending treatment. Your custom compounded pellet will be inserted beneath your skin after determining that you are an ideal candidate for the procedure.
WHAT TYPES OF HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY ARE OFFERED?
Bioidentical hormone therapy is available in a variety of delivery methods at Naperville Internist. As such, each of our fors of treatment are prescribed to meet the specific needs of each individual. These could include:
Thyroid Hormone Therapy: If you feel tired all the time, struggle with sleep, weight gain, depression, anxiety, or mood swings – it might be a hormone imbalance related to your thyroid. The good news is that thyroid hormone imbalances can be treated; however, not just any treatment will do. Treatment must begin with accurate lab testing of all the hormones that play a role in thyroid function, including: thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), T3, T4, reverse T3, and cortisol. Your practitioner should evaluate all of these hormones throughout the treatment process to adequately assess thyroid function and determine the progress of treatment.
Estrogen Hormone Therapy: Low levels of estrogen can impact your overall health and contribute to uncomfortable symptoms. Either condition can occur with menopause. Estrogen pellet therapy may be an effective solution to low estrogen and can help relieve symptoms of hormone imbalance. EvexiPEL estrogen pellet therapy is a bioidentical hormone therapy option that uses the highest-quality ingredients, proprietary formulation, and requires advanced-level training for all EvexiPEL-certified providers.
Testosterone Hormone Therapy: Testosterone therapy helps patients identify and restore hormone levels to an optimal state to eliminate symptoms and enhance health and wellbeing. Testosterone therapy is also effective in supporting a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and heart attack. Testosterone therapy is available as injections, creams, and pellets. Testosterone pellet therapy is renowned as the most effective form of testosterone therapy.
