Hormonal imbalances are a common yet often overlooked factor contributing to a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms in women. These imbalances can cause mood swings, fatigue, weight gain, hair thinning, and irregular periods, significantly affecting daily life. Chicagoland Women’s Health offers personalized hormone assessments to pinpoint underlying causes of these symptoms, enabling customized treatments tailored to each individual.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a primary treatment option for women experiencing hormonal fluctuations. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body, ensuring they’re more easily recognized and utilized by the body. Estrogen, progesterone, and even low-dose testosterone are commonly used to restore balance and improve quality of life. Regular blood work is essential for monitoring hormone levels and ensuring therapy is effective.
Beyond HRT, lifestyle modifications like proper nutrition, exercise, and stress management can complement hormonal treatments to further optimize health. By addressing the root causes of hormonal imbalance, Chicagoland Women’s Health helps women regain control of their health, energy, and overall sense of well-being.
