Skip to content At the Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe in offering comprehensive and personalized care for our patients. Our Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT) represents our dedication to maintaining your health with safe and effective hormone replacement treatment options. ERT is often used by women during menopause to help handle symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, night sweats and mood swings that result from a decrease in estrogen production. Our experienced professionals aim in restoring the hormonal balance of your body using tactical therapeutic interventions.
Living with an imbalance of progesterone can lead to various conditions including heavy periods, fibroids or endometriosis. Progesterone Replacement Therapy is a key component of our holistic approach towards women’s wellness here at Women’s Health Group Chicago. This therapy aids in maintaining healthy levels of this crucial hormone, helping you regain stability thus improving your overall wellbeing. We closely monitor each patient throughout their therapy journey ensuring beneficial outcomes without causing any discomfort.
The intricate interplay between hormones sometimes necessitates more than a one-size-fits-all remedy; hence our inclusion of Combination Hormone Therapy within clinical practice at Women’s Health Group Chicago. A balanced combination of progesterone and estrogen may be prescribed depending on individual needs identified through exhaustive initial diagnostics complemented by continuous monitoring sessions aimed empowering you with optimal health dividends.
For those seeking a natural route towards balancing hormones, we propose Bioidentical Hormonal Replacement (BHR). In contrast to synthetic counterparts, bioidenticals resemble hormones naturally produced within female bodies furthering safety while minimizing side-effects tolls associated therein. BHR provided at Women’s Health Group Chicago manifests our ongoing commitment towards innovative yet tried-and-test approaches for your unbeatable health.
Part of our mission at Womens Health Group Chicago is keeping you informed and protected throughout your hormone replacement journey. We have established rigorous procedures for monitoring and managing potential side effects that may arise during treatment. Regular check-ups, blood work analysis, symptom evaluations – all ensuring a secure environment supporting uninterrupted continued care under expert supervision promising seamless journeys optimizing hormonal levels with minimum interferences.
Alongside traditional therapies, we also offer a diverse spectrum of alternative therapies which can act as standalone or adjunct treatments in the process of maintaining hormonal balance. From diet & lifestyle modifications to mind-body techniques and use of beneficial herbs; Womens Health Group Chicago offers ample resources aimed at improving patients’ adherence to their personalized health regimens whilst continually moulding these surrounding changing needs thereby strengthening women’s wellness affinities within Oak Forest community.

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.
