At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand every woman’s hormone needs are unique and different at each stage of life. Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) is one of the specialized services that our team provides to help women in Morgan Park balance their estrogen levels effectively. This therapy is usually recommended for menopausal women or those who have had their ovaries surgically removed and can experience symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood changes due to low estrogen levels. Our experienced gynecologists will guide you through the process ensuring a tailor-made plan that suits your body’s specific requirements.
The importance of progesterone in maintaining overall health cannot be understated, particularly for women going through menopause or facing fertility challenges. Understanding this critical need for hormonal balance, Women’s Health Group Chicago offers Progesterone Replacement Therapy as an effective solution. The treatment effectively aids in reducing the risks associated with thinning bones whilst also aiding in regulating menstrual cycles while minimizing the effects of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Under careful monitoring, our specialists work diligently to ensure a safe and successful journey back to optimal health.
Balancing multiple hormones requires precision, which is why at Women’s Health Group Chicago we offer Combination Hormone Therapy specifically customized based on individual needs. This approach maximizes benefits by balancing both estrogen and progesterone hormones simultaneously hence easing menopause transition or managing other hormone-related illnesses more effortlessly. Our expert physicians will confidently address any concerns you might have about this procedure before starting treatment.
With Bioidentical Hormone Replacement therapy being increasingly recognized for its effectiveness over synthetic counterparts due to its natural compatibility with human biology, Women’s Health Group Chicago moves ahead with the times by offering this treatment to its patients. This therapy serves as a resolution for both menopausal symptoms and achieving overall hormone balance, enabling you to lead an improved quality of life.
As with any medical treatment procedure, we understand that side effects can be a concern. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, our professionals are highly trained in monitoring and managing the potential side effects due to various hormonal therapies. We provide continuous support through regular check-ups following your hormone replacement treatments and ensuring proactive measures towards maintaining optimal health while minimizing undue worries about adverse reactions.
Beyond traditional medical therapies, Womens Health Clinic Chicago also offers alternative therapies to meet your individual needs better. Alternative remedies such as plant-based or lifestyle modifications might just be the answer for some women when it comes to balancing their hormones naturally without any pharmaceutical intervention involved. Whether it’s dietary changes or stress management strategies, trust us at Womens Health Group Chicago to provide holistic solutions catered just for you.

April Susmarski2024-08-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a new patient and the care I received there from all of the staff really impressed me. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Mike and I cannot recommend him enough! His review of my (and my family’s) medical history was so in depth that we actually covered more than I ever have with my regular doctor. He went above and beyond to say the least. His approach is preventative, instead of just waiting for an issue to arise. Needless to say, I know I’m in good hands there.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment that uses hormones to replace the hormones that your body naturally produces but can decline with age. HRT is most commonly used to treat the symptoms of menopause, but it can also be used to treat other conditions, such as low testosterone levels in men.
There are two main types of HRT:
HRT can offer a number of benefits, including:
HRT can also have some risks, including:
HRT is not recommended for everyone. Some people who should not use HRT include people with a history of blood clots, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, stroke, or liver disease.
The length of time you use HRT will depend on your individual needs and risks. Most doctors recommend using HRT for the shortest amount of time necessary to relieve your symptoms.
There are a number of alternatives to HRT, including:
If you are considering HRT, it is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of HRT and to choose the type of HRT that is right for you.
It is also important to note that HRT is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. What works for one woman may not work for another. It is important to work with your doctor to find the right HRT for you and to monitor your progress closely.
