Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we deeply understand the crucial role estrogen plays in the overall physical well-being of every woman. Estrogen replacement therapy is widely recognized as an effective strategy to combat some symptoms associated with menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and dryness. We customize your treatment plan using comprehensive diagnostic procedures which assesses your body’s precise needs.
Imbalance in progesterone levels can have unfortunate effects on a woman’s health – ranging from ovarian cysts to issues with menstrual periods to menopausal vaginal problems. Our skilled practitioners at Womens Health Group Chicago are experts when it comes to administering Progesterone Replacement Therapy for restoration of hormonal balance and alleviating discomfort. We’ll work closely alongside you ensuring that our care effectively suits your unique condition.
Sometimes optimal results require a multifaceted approach – this is where combination hormone therapy steps in. It involves individualized doses of both estrogen and progestin aimed at easing multiple symptoms simultaneously while minimizing potential side-effects presented by either hormone individually. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, our clinical team will thoughtfully construct a potent yet balanced combination treatment strategy based upon thorough hormonal examination.
Embarking on any hormone therapy journey requires vigilant monitoring since body’s response can be diverse due to unique physiology of each woman. At Womens Health Group Chicago, our physicians keenly observe and track your body’s reaction post-therapy, ensuring interventions are result-oriented and harmless. We prioritize patient safety through conscientious follow-ups, systematically capturing any unanticipated side-effects while proactively minimizing them.
Understanding that not all individuals respond similarly to standard practices; we also extend various alternative therapies for women in Calumet Park seeking non-hormonal treatments. From lifestyle modifications to incorporating herbal supplements or practicing mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques – we ensure you’re equipped with myriad resources critical in maintaining a healthy hormonal balance throughout different stages of life.

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.
