Women's Hormone Replacement Therapy
Get Your Rythm Back
Understanding Hormone Replacement Therapy
Most women notice it first in the small things. Hot flashes and night sweats, sleep that will not hold, brain fog that shows up mid-sentence, energy and motivation running low. Then mood and libido shift, and strength, weight, and body composition follow.
Here's what most women are never told: you don't have to accept feeling lousy as just part of getting older. At Bellus Medical in Minot, ND, we look at the whole picture, including your symptoms, health history, goals, and appropriate lab testing, to determine if hormone therapy may be right for you.
Your Treatment Options
- Patches: worn on the skin, releasing a steady dose. Change on a set schedule and carry on with your day.
- Tablets: taken by mouth on a familiar daily rhythm. Simple to start, and simple to adjust as we track how you respond.
- Pellets: tiny pellets placed under the skin, releasing hormones consistently for months at a time.
- Creams: applied to the skin daily, with dosing that can be dialed in precisely as your plan evolves.
