What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
HRT involves replacing the hormones your body is no longer producing in sufficient amounts, primarily estrogen and sometimes testosterone. This can significantly alleviate the bothersome symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause.

Compounded Bioidentical Hormone Pellets: A Personalized Approach
At SWS, we primarily utilize compounded bioidentical hormone pellets. We believe this method offers the most physiologic way to maintain hormone levels.
Here's how the process works:
Comprehensive Evaluation: We'll start with a thorough review of your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle. We'll also conduct a physical exam, including a mammogram and gynecological wellness exam, and order blood work to assess your hormone levels. A current mammogram is crucial for starting HRT.
Personalized Dosage: Based on your lab results and symptoms, we'll determine the precise dosage of estrogen and/or testosterone needed for your individual treatment plan. We work closely with a trusted compounding pharmacy to ensure the highest quality and consistency of your hormone pellets.
Simple Procedure: The pellet insertion procedure is quick and minimally invasive, typically taking only a few minutes. A small incision is made, and the pellets are inserted just under the skin. You'll be asked to avoid strenuous exercise for a few days following the procedure.
Ongoing Monitoring: We'll closely monitor your progress and adjust your dosage as needed to ensure optimal results. Hormone levels can shift as you age, so regular follow-up appointments are essential.
Addressing Common Concerns about HRT
We understand you may have questions and concerns about HRT. We're here to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your health. We'll discuss the benefits and potential risks of HRT in detail, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident in your treatment plan.
One common concern is the potential for side effects. While side effects are rare, we'll discuss them with you openly. For example, some women may experience mild acne or facial hair growth with testosterone therapy, which can be easily managed with treatments offered at our practice.
