Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we are highly experienced in Estrogen Replacement Therapy which is designed for women who may be suffering from a decrease in their estrogen levels due to various reasons like menopause, removal of ovaries or certain medical conditions. This therapy can help alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, difficulty sleeping, and mood swings. Our specialists ensure that this treatment plan is curated individually taking into consideration your specific health history and lifestyle.
If you’re experiencing symptoms related to progesterone insufficiency such as irregular menstrual cycles, insomnia or weight gain; Progesterone Replacement Therapy might be the solution for you. At Womens Health Group Chicago, our professional OBGYNs carefully assess each patient’s needs based on their hormonal profile to develop personalized plans for dealing with hormone imbalances.
Our Combination Hormone therapy provides an encompassing relief from multiple issues associated with hormonal imbalance by administering non-identical hormones together. We specialize in tailoring combination therapies that suit each woman’s unique physiology while considering her individual needs and priorities simultaneously. For those Hegewisch residents who wish to effectively address postmenopausal syndrome or other hormone-related medical conditions, Combination Hormone therapy could offer significant benefits.
We also offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement at our clinic which involves providing hormones that are identical on a molecular level to the naturally occurring ones in a woman’s body. Studies have shown they could provide better results when compared to traditional synthetic hormones replacement techniques because bioidenticals closely mimic what your body produces naturally ensuring minimal side effects while maximizing healing potential.
Every woman responds differently to hormone replacement therapies; thus patients’ wellness and side effects are continuously monitored at Womens Health Group Chicago. We adopt advanced research methodologies to track each patient’s progress and fine-tune the therapeutic protocol, thus ensuring improved results while diligently managing potential side effects.
Recognizing that every woman is unique and may respond differently to various treatments, we also offer alternative therapies for those seeking a more natural approach to hormonal wellbeing. From lifestyle modifications, dietary changes to holistic practices like acupuncture or yoga; these options can supplement hormone replacement therapy or serve as effective standalone treatments. Our Hegewisch patients receive personalized counseling on which alternatives could complement their health journey best.

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.
