Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we offer comprehensive health care options for women facing hormonal imbalances. One of the fundamental services we provide is Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT). ERT is often prescribed to relieve symptoms related to menopause such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. The estrogen introduced through this therapy encourages stability within your body’s systems promoting an overall sense of wellbeing. Let us guide you on how to best reclaim your comfort and quality of life with our expertise.
Running in tandem with estrogen levels in a woman’s body is progesterone – another critical hormone affecting various bodily functions. Women dealing with low progesterone levels may experience irregular menstrual cycles, depression, weight gain, or even infertility issues. To help combat these problems, Womens Health Group Chicago offers Progesterone Replacement Therapy aimed at restoring the natural balance within your body.
For some women experiencing hormonal imbalance symptoms not helped by single-hormone therapy, Combination Hormone Therapy becomes their treatment option. This involves balancing both estrogen and progesterone using custom dosages tailored specifically for each individual patient’s needs at Womens Health Group Chicago here in North Riverside. With combination hormone therapy, we aim to restore optimum wellness while minimizing potential side effects associated with any one particular hormone replacement option.
One significant service offered through the Womens Health Group Chicago is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement – a unique approach that mimics naturally occurring hormones on a molecular level resulting in fewer side effects compared traditional synthetic ones! Our dedicated health professionals are ready to go above and beyond as they address your specific needs regarding hormonal balance effectively keeping impending adverse effects at bay!
Yes, hormone replacement therapies are typically safe and effective. But at Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand each woman may react differently to these treatments. That’s why our protocol includes vigilant monitoring and management of any potential side effects that might onset following hormonal therapy. Regular follow-ups and adjustments where necessary will ensure your health doesn’t pay the price for feeling better!
Understanding the diverse needs of women coming into their facility – the Womens Health Group Chicago also offers alternative non-hormonal therapies to counter symptoms of menopause or hormone imbalances. Whether you choose plant-based supplements or acupuncture sessions, your desire for a more natural form of treatment can be catered for without having to compromise on satisfying results.

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.
