Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we specialize in comprehensive care for women that includes Estrogen Replacement Therapy. This therapy is particularly useful to manage symptoms of menopause and ensure optimal health as you age. Decreased levels of estrogen following menopause can lead to a host of issues such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. Our skilled team provides tailored treatment options after thoroughly considering your general well-being—our intent is ensuring minimized risk while maximizing benefit.
We also offer Progesterone Replacement Therapy—an essential procedure when dealing with an insufficient natural supply of the hormone, leading often times to irregular menstruation or even fertility problems. Personalized assessment by our specialists ascertain if this therapy could help resolve these challenges or other related disorders safely and effectively. At Womens Health Group Chicago located in Uptown, caregiving revolves around client-centered solutions above all else.
Understanding that hormonal balance plays a vital role in overall wellness—a missing piece often overlooked—we also provide Combination Hormone Therapy services. Tailored programs here combine both estrogen and progesterone replacement to ensure balanced femininity while reducing any potential risks involved like endometrial cancer resulting from using estrogen alone; efficacy guaranteed through close monitoring during the process.
As medical sciences advance relentlessly toward better alternatives, so do we at Womens Health Group Chicago where Bioidentical Hormone Replacements are included among our extensive offerings. Derived from plant sources like yams or soybeans—the bioidentical hormones used mirror those produced naturally by different body organs which aids seamless assimilation within the patients’ system for ideal effect alongside minimal side effects—it’s nature aiding medicine at its best!
Our commitment to holistic patient care extends beyond initial treatment, including monitoring and managing any potential side effects. It’s noteworthy that hormone therapies might have some side effects; at Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe in staying by your side through the journey. Regular check-ups after therapy initiation ensure swift identification of adverse changes and prompt requisite modification—ensuring both safety and comfort.
In addition to regular hormonal treatments, we also offer a variety of alternative therapies for those who seek different options or supplementary treatments. Services such as lifestyle counseling focusing on diet adaptation, exercise regulation or stress management implementation can provide immense benefit when coupled alongside traditional medical routes—the end goal remains unwavering: Your well-being with optimized overall health condition.

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.
