Skip to content The Womens Health Group Chicago puts women’s health at the forefront. In Gladstone, we offer a range of specialized therapies including Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT). Our highly skilled team of medical professionals recognizes that as time goes by, a woman’s body undergoes multiple changes – one major change being decreased production of estrogen. Lower estrogen levels can sometimes lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. With our ERT, we aim to augment your natural hormone levels helping you manage these symptoms and improve your well-being.
Our clinic also provides Progesterone Replacement Therapy services for patients in Gladstone who need it most. Progesterone is another hormone which gradually decreases over time and imbalance could cause difficulties with menstrual periods or complications during menopause. We understand how this may affect your overall comfort; thus our progesterone replacement therapy ensures appropriate hormone balance reducing unpleasant effects related to its deficiency.
In certain cases where both estrogen and progesterone are decreasing in women, the Womens Health Group Chicago offers Combination Hormone Therapy targeted towards relieving those symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances that encompass both hormones simultaneously. This combined approach helps ensure a comprehensive treatment that looks after every aspect of your health enhancing daily life activities without discomfort or interruption due to physical distress.
Notably available for the residents of Gladstone, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement (BHR) is another pivotal service provided by our experts at Womens Health Group Chicago. While conventional strategies use synthetic hormones which might have side-effects; BHR utilizes hormones identical on molecular level to those naturally produced in human bodies benefiting from increased acceptance preventing unnecessary side effects while catering efficiently to numerous hormonal issues.
Patient’s health and safety are our top priority. Our protocols for Monitoring and Managing Side effects of any hormonal therapy ensure your comfort throughout the treatment process. Upon initiation of treatment, we regularly monitor symptoms or side effects that might appear as every woman is different in her response to these therapies ensuring a personalized approach to manage them leading towards healthier living.
We understand everyone needs unique healthcare solutions hence Womens Health Group Chicago also embraces Alternative Therapies to traditional hormone replacement methods. For those women who prefer more natural approaches or have certain contraindications prohibiting standard treatments, Gladstone clinic offers plant-based remedies, diet modifications among other alternative measures looking after their individualized health needs while upholding priorities of client satisfaction and utmost care.

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.
