At the Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that a woman’s body goes through various subtle yet significant changes over time. An imbalance in estrogen levels can lead to numerous health concerns including mood swings, hot flashes and osteoporosis among others. Estrogen replacement therapy is one way of restoring this hormone balance for improved overall health. Our team has extensive experience and training in providing personalized treatment plans that cater to your individual needs while ensuring safe and effective results.
Decreased progesterone level subjects women to symptoms like insomnia, brain fog, weight gain, depression etc. Progesterone replacement therapy offered at our clinic aims at increasing the hormone’s production thus alleviating these problems effectively. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we employ careful testing and monitoring methods accompanied by precise dosage adjustments which are tailored according to each patient’s requirement ensuring balanced hormonal profile along with optimized wellbeing.
Hormone levels usually do not decrease uniformly as aging happens which creates imbalanced ration between estrogen & progesterone leading to various complications such as unusual bleeding or higher risk of breast cancer etc. Combination Hormone therapy aids in keeping both hormones’ levels proportionate thus avoiding such risks. At the Womens Health Group Chicago serving Greenwood residents, we prioritize an integrated approach in treating every patient by considering all their distinct hormonal requirements throughout the course of their lifetime.
The concept of Bioidentical Hormones offers more natural solutions comprised from plant estrogens identical on molecular level to those produced inside human bodies thereby working harmoniously with bodily systems without any adverse responses often seen with synthetic counterparts. This customized method allows for it being administered through pills patches creams gels etc providing flexible options suiting different lifestyle needs for patients across Greenwood who are aiming for a natural hormone balance.
We realize getting hormonal therapy doesn’t come without the fear of possible side effects. Which is why, at Womens Health Group Chicago, we keep close track on your health & progress diligently monitoring for any emerging symptoms following treatments to ensure early detection and prompt remedy thereby maintaining an optimal balance between the benefits against potential risks accompanying each Hormonal Treatment plan.
While many women across Greenwood get benefit greatly from traditional hormone replacement therapies, we understand some women may prefer or require different treatment modalities. Our qualified practitioners thus explore a variety of complementary methods such as lifestyle modifications, nutritional supplementation, herbal remedies etc into patient care plans allowing them access to all available resources that might serve their best interest in achieving overall hormonal equilibrium for peak mental physical emotional wellness.

I often get anxious when visiting doctors, but Lexi and the team here have always made me feel very safe and relaxed. I had to get some blood work done and they drew my blood on-site at the clinic, which was super convenient! I was encouraged to lay down and rest afterwards for as long as I needed, and I never felt rushed. I’ve also gotten an IUD here and it was a million times easier than I expected. Lexi is just fantastic and talked me through the whole process!

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.
