Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the challenges women face when their hormone levels fluctuate. During these times, estrogen replacement therapy can be an effective option in managing symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats that are common during menopause. Our expert clinicians focus on creating individualized treatment plans based on the unique needs of each patient. We use top-grade medical techniques to provide safe estrogen supplementation while minimizing side effects.
When it comes to balancing essential hormones in a woman’s body, progesterone plays a crucial role. We offer personalized progesterone replacement therapy services for our patients experiencing hormonal imbalances as a result of pre-menopause, post-menopause or other health conditions at Womens Health Group Chicago. By restoring progesterone levels through our state-of-the-art administration methods, we aim to alleviate symptoms such as bloating, mood swings or irregular periods and improve your overall well-being.
Recognizing the synergistic relationship between key hormones like estrogen and progesterone can significantly support a woman’s health which will consequently enhance her quality of life. Therefore at Womens Health Group Chicago we employ combination hormone therapy where necessary, administering both hormones simultaneously to stabilize hormonal fluctuations effectively. This approach has proven beneficial for many women dealing with bothersome perimenopausal and post-menopausal symptoms.
The journey towards optimal health requires natural solutions that work closely with the body; this is where Bioidentical Hormone Replace (BHRT) provides value in storing balance regarding female reproductive hormones without using synthetic ones –this means each treatment is molecularly identical to those naturally found within our bodies increasing safety & compatibility profiles.
Every therapy comes with potential side effects, which emphasizes the need for diligent monitoring. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize ongoing and thorough check-ups to monitor your hormonal balance continuously and ensure early identification of any adverse reactions or potential complications from hormone replacement therapy. Your health and safety is our primary concern; thus we focus not only on delivering treatment but also effective management of side effects.
Understanding the diverse needs of women’s healthcare led us to explore more natural therapeutic options. As a part of this commitment in Westmont, we offer alternative therapies as appropriate based on individual cases when traditional methods are ineffective or undesired by patients. Our repertoire includes lifestyle modification advice, dietary supplements recommendations among other non-hormonal strategies — under professional guidance ensuring optimum results & patient satisfaction at Womens Health Group Chicago.

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.
