Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand how crucial hormones are in maintaining not just reproductive health but overall wellbeing. As part of our hormone replacement therapies, we offer Estrogen Replacement Therapy specifically designed for women living in and around Chicago Ridge. This modern treatment option can help combat uncomfortable symptoms that come with menopause such as hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness or discomfort during intercourse. Our team of skilled healthcare professionals will work closely together with you to determine whether estrogen replacement therapy is suitable for your situation.
Another specialized service provided at our clinic is Progesterone Replacement Therapy. If your body does not naturally produce enough progesterone due to perimenopause or other medical conditions, this type of hormone therapy helps restore the balance. Symptoms like irregular menstrual periods and severe PMS might point towards a deficiency which could be managed efficiently with this kind of treatment from Womens Health Group Chicago – providing relief right where it matters most- at the heart of Chicago Ridge.
We also offer a holistic solution known as Combination Hormone Therapy if you need multiple hormonal imbalances addressed simultaneously. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we consider every aspect of your health when recommending treatments and have found that treating estrogen and progesterone levels concurrently can often yield the best results. We expertly tailor combination therapies according to individual needs avoiding any unnecessary side effects.
Womens Health Group Chicago takes pride in bringing Bioidentical Hormone Replacement solutions to residents in Chicago Ridge. Instead of synthetic hormones that may sometimes cause undesirable reactions within one’s body; Bioidenticals are made from plant-based derivatives closely resembling those produced by women’s bodies themselves hence offering a more natural alternative.
Your safety and wellness are our utmost priority– we do not stop just at prescribing treatments. At the Womens Health Group Chicago, monitoring patients regularly for potential side effects forms a critical part of our therapy protocol. This ensures that any adverse reactions can be managed promptly, allowing you to continue with your regular routine in Chicago Ridge without undue disruptions.
Our holistic approach extends beyond hormone replacement therapies– if you’re searching for more natural prevention strategies, or if hormone therapy isn’t an option due to health concerns; then consider our alternative therapies instead. These include lifestyle modifications such as diet changes or stress management techniques which are tailored according to every individual’s unique situation- all dedicated towards serving a healthier, happier Chicago Ridge community.

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.
