What’s the difference between bioidentical hormones and synthetic hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body. This makes them more easily recognized and metabolized, often resulting in fewer side effects compared to synthetic hormones.
How are hormones administered?
We offer hormone therapy through multiple methods, including injections, pellets, creams, and oral medications. Pellet therapy is the most common and consistent option for our female hormone replacement therapy patients, while Testosterone injections are the most common and consistent for our male hormone replacement therapy patients.
Can hormone therapy help with weight gain or belly fat?
Hormonal imbalances, especially in estrogen and testosterone, can contribute to stubborn fat and slowed metabolism. Optimizing hormone levels may support weight management efforts, although it is not a weight loss treatment by itself.
Do men benefit from hormone replacement therapy too?
Absolutely, men can benefit from hormone replacement. Men can experience symptoms like fatigue, low libido, mood changes, and decreased strength due to low testosterone. Testosterone replacement therapy helps restore vitality, performance, and overall wellness.
How often will I need follow-up appointments or labs for hormone replacement therapy?
Typically, labs are drawn before starting therapy and again 4–6 weeks after treatment begins. Once your levels are optimized, follow-ups are usually scheduled every 3–6 months to ensure ongoing balance and effectiveness.
Is hormone replacement therapy safe for everyone?
Hormone replacement therapy is safe for most individuals, but it may not be suitable for those with certain medical conditions, such as breast cancer, heart disease, or a history of blood clots. Our providers will evaluate your medical history to determine your candidacy for hormones in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.
How long does it take to experience the benefits of hormone replacement therapy?
The timeline for experiencing benefits can vary depending on individual factors and the chosen method of hormone administration. Some individuals may notice improvements within weeks, while others may require several months.
What are the signs that I might need hormone replacement therapy?
Common symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, low libido, sleep disturbances, mood swings, and decreased muscle mass. A comprehensive evaluation can help determine if HRT is appropriate.
How long does it take to feel the benefits of hormone replacement therapy?
Patients often start to feel improvements in energy, mood, and sleep within a few weeks, but full results typically develop over 2–3 months depending on individual hormone levels and the method of therapy.
