How Hormone Therapy Can Help With Menopause

How Hormone Therapy Can Help With Menopause | Knox Wellness

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, yet its symptoms can be distressing and disruptive. Hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings are just a few of the challenges you might be facing. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) offers a tailored approach to alleviating these symptoms by restoring hormonal balance. With precise customization, BHRT can provide a level of relief regardless of your individual experience.

At Knox Wellness in Knoxville, TN, we specialize in a range of medical and cosmetic treatments including BHRT. Our focus is on providing effective, evidence-based solutions for issues related to aging, such as menopause, to help you live your life more comfortably.

What Is Menopause?

Menopause is a biological event that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, usually occurring around the age of 50. It’s defined as the cessation of menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months. This phase is characterized by hormonal changes, specifically a decline in estrogen and progesterone, which can trigger a range of symptoms.

Common Menopause Symptoms

Understanding menopause symptoms is crucial for effective treatment. Symptoms vary from woman to woman but may include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Cognitive issues such as difficulty concentrating or forgetfulness can also be associated symptoms.

Traditional Treatment Options for Menopause

There are several traditional approaches for managing menopause, but they don’t always offer menopause relief for everyone. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with synthetic hormones, lifestyle changes, and over-the-counter treatments are among the options. If you have found that other options haven’t provided the relief you are looking for, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may be able to provide a more effective solution.

What Is BHRT? 

BHRT is an innovative approach to treating hormonal imbalances, particularly during menopause. Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body, which makes BHRT stand out from other hormone treatments. This treatment can ensure smoother integration and allows for a more customized treatment plan designed to alleviate your specific symptoms.

How Is BHRT Administered?

Hormone Pellets

One of the methods for administering bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is through hormone pellets. These are small, rice-sized pellets that are implanted under the skin, usually in the hip or buttocks area. BHRT pellet therapy allows for a slow, consistent release of hormones, which can provide more stable levels and potentially reduce symptoms effectively.

Hormone Creams

Another option for administering BHRT therapy is through hormone creams. These topical treatments are applied directly to the skin, allowing the hormones to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Hormone Troches

Hormone troches are yet another form of BHRT administration. Unlike conventional pills, these lozenges dissolve between the upper cheek and gum and are absorbed quickly into the bloodstream.

How BHRT Helps With Menopause Symptoms

Alleviating Hot Flashes and Night Sweats

BHRT treatments have the potential to alleviate hot flashes and night sweats. These are among the most disruptive symptoms of menopause, and this treatment can help regulate the hormonal imbalances that cause them.

Improving Mood and Mental Clarity

Mood swings and mental fog are common symptoms during menopause. BHRT therapy offers a tailored approach to help balance your hormones, which can result in improved mood and mental clarity. It’s a menopause treatment option that can address the underlying hormonal imbalances linked with mood changes.

Improving Libido and Vaginal Health

Decreased libido and vaginal dryness can also be distressing symptoms of menopause. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can restore hormonal balance, potentially improving both your libido and vaginal health.

Improving Energy Levels

Feeling constantly fatigued? Hormone replacement could be the answer. By leveling out your hormones, BHRT can offer menopause relief in the form of renewed energy levels, enabling you to participate more actively in daily activities.

Improving Skin Health

Dull and dry skin is another symptom that can be addressed through BHRT. Restoring hormonal balance can result in improved skin elasticity and hydration, making it a multi-faceted menopause treatment option.

Improving Overall Health

BHRT doesn’t just focus on alleviating symptoms; it also aims to improve your overall health by balancing your hormones. This can have ripple effects throughout your body, enhancing your well-being on multiple levels.

Talking to Your Doctor About BHRT

Preparing for Your Consultation

Before considering bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, you will want to have an open and informed discussion with your healthcare provider. Prepare a list of questions and any documentation of your symptoms to make the most out of your consultation.

Diagnostic Tests

In order to determine if BHRT is the right fit for you, your healthcare provider may recommend diagnostic tests. These tests will measure your current hormone levels and identify specific menopause symptoms. This helps in building an effective treatment plan.

Individualized Treatment Plans

One of the strengths of BHRT is that it can be customized to suit your specific hormonal needs. After reviewing your diagnostic test results, we will develop an individualized treatment plan designed to target your symptoms, determine which administration method is best, and set up your first treatment.

Follow-Up Appointments and Adjustments

It’s important to continue to monitor your progress after starting your BHRT treatment. This will involve regular follow-up appointments to assess the effectiveness of the treatment and make any necessary adjustments. Ongoing communication with us is key to optimizing your treatment outcomes.

Testimonials

This place was a major part in my Cancer being in remission. He helped me prepare my body for upcoming treatment. Dr Chris was a strong advocate in challenging me to push for proton therapy vs regular radiation. He made sure I had the best Doctors in my area. During my battle with cancer what they did helped me be the first person in my family Mom and Dad’s side that can say remission. 100% response to treatments. Thank you Dr Chris and team.

I have been coming to Knox Wellness for a year and a half. This place has been a Godsend! They’ve helped me get my chronic lyme disease to a manageable state as well as get all my vitamin levels to optimal. I went to a regular doctor for many years with no answers and in a short time Sunny and team have helped overcome so much! The entire staff is beyond friendly, they are more like family 🙂

I am writing this to express my utmost admiration and gratitude for the exceptional care and service provided by Knox Wellness. As a patient who has benefited greatly from the clinic’s expertise and holistic approach to healthcare, I am pleased to offer my highest recommendation and refer others to experience the remarkable care at Knox Wellness.
