Q&A

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including estrogen and testosterone, may be recommended for women with menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, mood changes, and decreased libido. Often menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms go undiagnosed and unmanaged in women, but at Clarity Medical Group, we are committed to identifying not only the common symptoms but also the unique challenges each patient faces, ensuring comprehensive care and support during this transition. A thorough clinical evaluation is essential to assess the risks and benefits of HRT based on individual health history.

 

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be considered for men with clinically low testosterone levels and symptoms of testosterone deficiency, such as reduced libido, fatigue, muscle loss, or mood disturbances. HRT is often recommended after a thorough medical evaluation to confirm low testosterone levels and assess individual risk factors, ensuring the therapy is both safe and beneficial.

We are happy to announce that we offer hormone pellet implants as a convenient and effective solution for managing hormonal imbalances. These tiny pellets, made from bioidentical hormones, are painlessly inserted just under the skin during a simple in-office procedure. They provide a steady release of hormones, ensuring consistent levels in your body for several months. This method eliminates the need for daily pills or creams, offering a hassle-free approach to hormone therapy.
