Online consultation FAQ
Hormone Replacement Therapy, or HRT, is a treatment that involves supplementing the body with hormones, such as estrogen, testosterone and progesterone, to alleviate symptoms of menopause or hormonal imbalances.
HRT is commonly prescribed for women experiencing symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. It can also be beneficial for individuals with hormone deficiencies or those at risk of osteoporosis.
Plaza OBGYN Houston offers various forms of HRT, including oral tablets, creams and Hormone Pellets. Also Plaza ObGyn offers bio-identical hormone therapy which is safer and is more tolerated.The choice of therapy depends on individual needs and preferences, which our experienced healthcare providers will discuss with you.
While HRT can effectively manage menopausal symptoms, it may carry certain risks, such as an increased risk of blood clots, stroke, heart disease, and breast cancer. However, these risks vary depending on factors such as age, medical history, and the type of hormones used.
The duration of HRT can vary from person to person. Some women may only need short-term therapy to alleviate menopausal symptoms, while others may benefit from long-term treatment to maintain hormonal balance and prevent osteoporosis.
Hormone Replacement Therapy can provide relief from menopausal symptoms, improve quality of life, protect against osteoporosis-related fractures, and maintain vaginal and urinary tract health.
HRT may not be suitable for individuals with a history of certain medical conditions, including breast cancer, endometrial cancer, liver disease, or blood clots. Our healthcare providers at Plaza OBGYN Houston will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if HRT is appropriate for you.
The frequency of follow-up appointments for HRT will depend on individual needs and treatment response. Our team will monitor your progress closely and adjust your therapy as necessary to ensure optimal results.
Before starting HRT, you will undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including a physical examination and hormone level testing. Our healthcare providers will then develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.
