enroll nowWhat is hormone replacement therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy is a treatment that restores depleted hormones.
Men start to lose testosterone gradually starting at age 30, with total testosterone levels falling nearly 2% per year after that. Women experience a sharper sudden decline in their own natural hormones generally starting at age 40.
Regardless of your sex, hormone depletion can cause a number of very uncomfortable and difficult side effects. Hormone replacement therapy replenishes your hormones in a safe way.
Female Hormone Depletion
In women, hormone depletion can cause hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, depression, low libido, urinary incontinence, and other serious problems. If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms and it’s disrupting your life or making you feel less-than-great about yourself, Sepia is here to listen compassionately, determine the cause of your problems, and prescribe a customized treatment plan.
Male Hormone Depletion
In men, testosterone depletion can cause erectile dysfunction, weight gain, hair loss, depression, fatigue, mood swings, muscle loss, and a number of other negative effects.
How does hormone replacement therapy work?
There are a number of hormone replacement therapy options today, but Sepia Modern Primary Care uses customized doses of supplemental hormones that are most similar to those your body produces naturally. Your treatment starts with a comprehensive hormone level evaluation. You’ll review your test results in detail with the Sepia Modern Primary Care team so you can understand your ideal treatment plan.
Bioidentical Hormones
Bioidentical hormones come in pellets. Providers insert the tiny pellets under your skin, and they go to work within 7-10 days. You’ll experience quick symptom relief and the pellets maintain a stable hormone level for at least several months at a time.
