At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that hormone imbalance is more than just an inconvenience. It can significantly disrupt your quality of life and overall well-being. That’s why we offer dedicated solutions like Estrogen Replacement Therapy to help restore hormonal balance in the body. This innovative therapy involves replacing estrogen levels that have typically decreased due to menopause or other health conditions. We do this using FDA-approved medications tailored for each individual woman based on her specific needs and lifestyle.
To ensure comprehensive care, our clinic also provides Progesterone Replacement Therapy services – a treatment option utilized when progesterone levels decline in a woman’s body, leading to various symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, insomnia, mood changes amongst others. Our experienced clinicians will work closely with you to devise a customized treatment routine – precisely designed to replenish your natural progesterone levels and help manage the disruptive side effects associated with its deficiency.
Acknowledging that every woman has unique healthcare demands, Womens Health Group Chicago takes pride in offering Combination Hormone Therapy within its spectrum of services. This approach administers both estrogen and progesterone replacement therapies simultaneously for those women who still have their uterus intact but are faced with diminishing hormone levels owing to menopausal transition or certain medical conditions.
Our team goes above and beyond traditional treatments by incorporating advanced practices like Bioidentical Hormone Replacement (BHRT). If you’re suffering from hormonal imbalances linked with PMS, perimenopause or menopause or want preventive care against osteoporosis- BHRT might be the solution for you! These biologically identical hormones replicate exactly the function of hormones naturally present in your body thus working optimally to restore the hormonal balance.
With any form of hormone treatment, our primary concern is your safety. Therefore, Womens Health Group Chicago places immense importance on diligently monitoring and managing side effects associated with these therapies. Regular follow-ups are designed to continually assess whether a therapy approach still best fits you or if adjustments must be made in alignment with physiological changes your body may undergo over time.
Hormone Replacement Therapy isn’t the only solution we offer here at Womens Health Group Chicago. Recognizing diverse comfort zones and receptiveness towards different therapies- Our portfolio also includes alternative non-hormonal solutions that focus on lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, herbal supplements etc. We’re dedicated to empowering each woman to choose a path aligning herself with total wellness keeping her individuality intact!

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.
