What Types of Hormone Replacement Therapy Are Offered?
At Naperville Internist, we offer bioidentical hormone therapy options designed to treat various hormonal imbalances. Each treatment is customized to meet the unique needs of our patients, using delivery methods such as pellets, injections, creams, gels, patches, and pills.
Thyroid Hormone Therapy
Thyroid imbalances can cause fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and more. Proper treatment begins with accurate lab testing of hormones such as TSH, T3, T4, reverse T3, and cortisol. By evaluating these levels, we can tailor treatment to restore balance and improve thyroid function.
Estrogen Hormone Therapy
Low estrogen levels, often linked to menopause, can lead to symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and reduced bone density. Bioidentical estrogen pellet therapy, including EvexiPEL, offers relief with high-quality ingredients and advanced formulations. This therapy can help restore balance, reduce symptoms, and improve overall health.
Testosterone Hormone Therapy
For men and women, testosterone therapy can restore optimal hormone levels, reducing symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, and decreased muscle mass. Bioidentical testosterone pellet therapy is the most effective form of testosterone therapy, offering consistent hormone release and long-term results. Other delivery options include injections and creams.
