What is hormone therapy?

Hormone therapy works to rebalance your natural hormone levels when they become imbalanced. Since hormones act as chemical messengers throughout your body, controlling many of your body’s functions, a change in these levels can cause many concerning symptoms.

These imbalances occur when the endocrine system begins producing fewer hormones. Over time, men experience low testosterone (low-T), and women experience hormone imbalance during menopause, the natural end of their childbearing years. MOD-DOC helps adults of all genders achieve healthier hormonal balance.

In addition to age-related symptoms, you can experience other conditions caused by hormonal imbalances. These include:

• Diabetes
• Hyperthyroidism
• Hypothyroidism
• Pituitary gland tumors
• Autoimmune diseases
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Obesity
• Acne

Some hormonal imbalances affect your metabolism, causing fatigue, constipation, hair or skin texture changes, and other noticeable symptoms.

How do I know if I need hormone therapy?

If you are experiencing symptoms and discomfort that affect your mental, physical, or emotional wellness, talk to the MOD-DOC team.

In women, these symptoms might include night sweats, dry skin, vaginal dryness and painful sex, and hot flashes. Along with decreased muscle mass, men can lose interest in sex and experience hair loss and infertility.

Anyone with a hormonal imbalance might experience:

• Anxiety
• Headaches
• Depression
• Weight gain
• Mental fog
• Irritability

The MOD-DOC team prioritizes your wellness and quality of life, so seek help right away.

What is involved in hormone therapy?

The MOD-DOC team performs an initial consultation to discuss your symptoms and review your medical history. If MOD-DOC is your primary care provider, the process is even simpler, thanks to their familiarity with you and your health needs.

The team personalizes every aspect of your care, designing a hormone therapy plan that promotes improved masculine or feminine health. The practice offers in-house labs so that they can quickly and conveniently check your hormone levels and determine if this therapy will benefit you.

Hormone therapy uses several methods to help rebalance your body, including hormone patches, pills, pellets, creams, and injections. The best method for you will depend on whether you need higher or lower hormone doses.
