At Womens Health Group Chicago, we strive to offer comprehensive and individualized healthcare services for women in and around Alsip. One of our key specialties is Estrogen Replacement Therapy, which can be enormously beneficial for women experiencing uncomfortable symptoms associated with menopause or those who’ve had their ovaries surgically removed. The therapy helps restore estrogen levels to normal, reducing undesirable effects such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness/atrophy and bone loss.
We understand that the female body requires a delicate hormonal balance to function optimally – a significant aspect of this equilibrium involves progesterone. Here at Womens Health Group Chicago, we provide Progesterone Replacement Therapy designed to help rectify any subtle imbalances your body may be facing due to stress or age-related concerns. This treatment mitigates irregular periods and alleviates problems associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) alongside many other conditions affecting women’s overall health status.
Balancing hormones is not always about dealing with them one by one; sometimes an integrative approach delivers best results. Our Combination Hormone Therapy offering ensures both estrogen and progesterone work harmoniously together offsetting side-effects linked exclusively to either hormone when used alone. We use it primarily during post-menopausal stages where the doses are carefully regulated allowing you regain control over your body without compromising comfort or healthy functioning.
For some of our patients in Alsip turning into more natural route fits better into their lifestyle preferences or medical needs – cue Bioidentical Hormones Treatment! These naturally derived compounds mimic structure-wise the very hormones produced by your own body endorsing skepticism-free acceptance from proponents of naturalistic medicinal approaches. Our bioidentical hormone replacements are customized to your unique needs and help manage symptoms of hormonal imbalances in a more organic way.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, we committedly monitor progressing patient journeys ensuring that any potential side-effects arising from hormone therapies are effectively managed promptly. Our diligent regular check-ups working rotund with our care system partners you up with your very personal healthcare team equipped to tackle just about anything along the journey through alleviation, adjustment or even switching therapy modalities when required.
Lastly, recognizing that every woman is unique and may need different solutions for their health concerns, we offer Alternative Therapies apart from conventional treatments at Womens Health Group Chicago. These can range from lifestyle adjustments, dietary supplements or even acupuncture depending on individual requirements – underscoring an integrated approach in healthcare aimed towards best patient care outcomes optimally designed by working together closely keeping central focus on 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.
