At Evolution Precision Medicine and Aesthetics in Overland Park, KS, we offer hormone replacement therapy treatment plans for men and women with hormonal imbalances. These HRT plans are custom tailored to meet the needs of each patient, address and treat their deficiency, and in doing so, resolve any negative symptoms that have resulted from a hormone imbalance, and restore and improve quality of life.
Many different factors and conditions contribute to a hormonal imbalance. For some, it’s based on genetic predetermination; for others, it results from a medical condition, hormonal fluctuations, pregnancies, lifestyle factors, or the aging process. Typically, men and women, later in life, reach menopause and andropause, a time when hormone levels naturally begin to decline.
Even though this is a sign of the natural aging process, it doesn’t come without negative symptoms and will interfere with the quality of life. Our hormone replacement therapy treatment plans aim to address these deficiencies and restore normal hormone levels to men and women suffering from an imbalance, regardless of age or factors contributing to their deficiency.
At Evolution Precision Medicine and Aesthetics, we know that different patients have distinct needs, so we offer several HRT treatment options that can balance hormones. These include bioidentical hormone replacement pellets, intramuscular injections, subcutaneous injections, topical products, and nasal sprays. All of these different methods have their advantages; some methods may better suit certain patients over another.
Bioidentical hormone replacement pellets provide men and women with a low-maintenance way to balance hormones. We use Pellecome pellets, which are tiny, implantable pellets smaller than a grain of rice. Once we determine your deficiency, we can prescribe a pellet with the dosage necessary to balance your hormones.
During the treatment process, we’ll make a very small incision in the subcutaneous tissue of the hip or buttocks. Then, we will insert the pellet, and your body will begin using it to balance your hormones, as your bloodstream will directly absorb the hormones in the pellet. Patients typically need three to four yearly treatments to maintain balanced hormone levels. It can take several weeks to a few months to notice the full effects of balanced hormones after initial treatment.
Subcutaneous and intramuscular injections provide those suffering from a hormonal imbalance with a quick and effective way to supplement the hormones their bodies need. Intramuscular injections are administered directly into the muscle, while subcutaneous injections are administered into the fatty tissue.
The injection process is simple, and once you master it, it will become a part of your normal health and wellness routine. We can show you how to administer these injections with precision and accuracy so that you can ensure you’re giving your body what it needs to achieve and maintain balance.
We also offer topical products to help balance your body’s hormone levels. These topical solutions contain hormones that will help supplement what your body creates naturally and resolve a deficiency. You’ll apply these as directed as needed each week to help alleviate the symptoms of your imbalance and improve the quality of your life.
Nasal sprays are another HRT method we can prescribe for those suffering from a hormonal imbalance. The treatment process is self-administered, quick, and painless, but it will help your body receive the hormone needed for balance.
There are many benefits to beginning a treatment plan with HRT. Because we offer many different treatment options, you can choose which is right for your lifestyle. The treatment process is also fully customizable, so if, at any point, you want to change your treatment method, we can work with you and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
You’ll never be alone during this process as we perform follow-up treatments to test your hormone levels and monitor your results to ensure that your dosage is giving your body what it needs so that we can make adjustments as needed.
One of the main benefits of hormone replacement therapy is that it alleviates the symptoms of a deficiency. In doing so, it replaces those symptoms with many different benefits. Patients who have spent years feeling tired, irritated, anxious, or had trouble losing weight, see improvements in their physical, mental, and emotional health. It also increases energy levels and motivation and gives patients a renewed zest for life.
The body is meant to live in a state of balance, so when your hormones are unstable, every other system is also affected. Taking steps to undergo HRT is an investment in your current and future health and can also help prevent the early onset of certain age-related medical conditions.
HRT also has benefits in that it promotes sexual wellness. Men and women who suffer from different sexual dysfunction due to hormonal imbalances, like low libido, vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, pain during intercourse, and other sexual wellness concerns, can find resolutions through HRT and improve their overall sexual wellness.
Patients interested in beginning the treatment process with hormone replacement therapy must undergo an initial consultation. This consultation takes place in a one-on-one setting at our office. We will meet with you to discuss your symptoms, concerns, goals, background, and medical history.
We will perform a comprehensive blood panel, which will give us a clear understanding of your deficiency level so that we can prescribe the right treatment method with the exact dose of biological hormones you need when we move forward with the treatment process.
If you are suffering from a hormonal imbalance or are unsure whether your unpleasant physical symptoms indicate an imbalance, we can help develop a treatment plan for you. Both men and women with hormonal imbalances made good treatment candidates, as do younger patients suffering from the symptoms of an imbalance due to factors other than the aging process.
Living with a hormonal imbalance any longer than you already have will only prolong negative symptoms and put you at risk of aging-related diseases. Taking the step to invest in your health with hormone replacement therapy will improve your quality of life and your overall health and wellness. We will create a plan with a manageable treatment method that suits your preferences and lifestyle and provides your body with what it needs.
