Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe in the power of Estrogen Replacement Therapy for improving postmenopausal symptoms and enhancing women’s overall health. Low estrogen levels can cause a range of discomforts like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood swings and vaginal dryness among other things. Our experienced team are well versed in prescribing this therapy route as it could not only alleviate these distressing signs but may also protect against osteoporosis—a common concern later in life.
We also offer Progesterone Replacement Therapy at our clinic. Decreased progesterone levels often lead to symptoms such as irregular periods, migraines or worsened menopause symptoms. This is where our personalized treatment protocols step into play—we work closely with patients to ensure their regimen fits seamlessly into their lifestyle while providing maximum relief from hormonal imbalance related issues.
For certain conditions or patient’s specific needs, a combination hormone therapy – both estrogen and progesterone – might be a better solution provided by Womens Health Group Chicago. If you experience moderate to severe menopausal symptoms or have an increased risk of bone loss and fractures due to lower hormones’ quantities than normal over time, combination hormone therapy may just be what you need under proper medical supervision at our medical facility.
One innovative service we provide at Womens Health Group Chicago is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement therapy which uses chemically-identical hormones for your body’s natural ones for enhanced benefits—both safety wise and effectiveness wise—compared to traditional treatments involving synthetic versions: ensuring optimal results across every criterion when replenishing below-average hormone levels affecting your quality of life.
Understanding that any drug or therapy could come with potential side effects, at Womens Health Group Chicago we have a proficient team dedicated to monitoring and managing side effects arising from hormone replacement therapies. Through regular check-ups, continuous dialogue with our patients and bespoke wellness plans, we aim to reduce any risks associated while enhancing the advantages of hormonal treatments.
The decision on which treatment best suits your needs is always yours and at Womens Health Group Chicago we fully respect this. Hence, alongside traditional routes mentioned above we also provide a holistic range of alternative therapies specially curated for women’s health challenges. Covering herbal remedies through to life style modifications you are never short of options when considering how best to manage symptoms related with fluctuating hormones among other concerns impacting daily living standards.

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.
