Are you experiencing sudden, unexpected mood swings?
Getting older isn’t always for the faint of heart, but we all have to deal with it the best way we can! Menopause starts for most women in their early 50s, but it can begin much earlier, and it’s essential to recognize its early symptoms. The good news is that you don’t have to go through the journey alone, and our team at Central Clinic For Women is here to help you every step of the way!
Millions of individuals experience symptoms related to hormone imbalance every day, and women are particularly vulnerable as they approach middle age. Even the healthiest and most active women start discovering that they tire more easily, and you might start putting on additional weight as your metabolism begins slowing down. It’s also common to experience hot flashes, mood swings, and even a loss of libido during the early stages of menopause. These symptoms are all potential indicators of a hormone imbalance, and we specialize in fine-tuning hormones so you can feel and look your absolute best!
We proudly offer Biote Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) for both men and women, and we’re conveniently located on the Baptist Health campus when you’re ready to schedule a consultation. The BHRT process is designed to identify the root cause of these complex conditions and deliver bioidentical hormones through subcutaneous pellets to replace those that were lost. Once the deficiencies have been identified, we’ll develop a detailed treatment plan based on your body’s unique chemistry. Bioidentical replacement hormones will be administered through pellets that are roughly the size of a grain of rice, which will be inserted into the upper buttocks area using a simple outpatient procedure.
Each patient presents with different symptoms, and it takes up to six months to achieve full hormone optimization. Some patients report relief from some symptoms in as few as four weeks, and you may require additional follow-up visits so our clinicians can adjust hormone levels. Be sure to call your doctor immediately if you encounter any unexpected side effects after BHRT treatment begins.
