Frequently Asked Questions
Patch vs cream?
Patches provide steady hormone levels and are applied twice weekly. Creams allow flexible dosing but require daily application. Both are effective—choice depends on lifestyle preference.
Bioidentical risks?
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as your body's hormones. When properly dosed and monitored, they're safe and often better tolerated than synthetic versions.
Pellets for mood?
Pellets provide steady hormone levels for 3-6 months, which many women find ideal for mood stability. No daily dosing required. Insertion is a quick in-office procedure.
Thyroid combo?
Yes! Many women need both sex hormone and thyroid optimization for optimal mood. We test and treat both as part of comprehensive hormone therapy.
Monitoring frequency?
We monitor hormone levels and symptoms every 3-6 months initially, then annually once stable. Adjustments are made based on labs and how you feel.
