HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Hormones are essential and affect how we feel, function, and age. They influence everything from energy, mood, and metabolism to sleep, muscle mass, and sexual health. As we get older, hormone levels naturally decline, and when that balance is disrupted, it can affect how you feel day to day and over time.
At PartainMD, we take a personalized, evidence-based approach to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). We start by listening, reviewing your symptoms, and using appropriate testing to understand what’s really going on. From there, we build a plan designed to restore balance, support long-term health, and help you feel more like yourself again.
Female HRT
Many women in perimenopause and menopause benefit significantly from hormone replacement therapy. The latest research confirms that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) initiated early (under 60 or within 10 years of menopause) offers significant benefits, outweighing risks for most women, with positive impacts on heart health, bone density, cognition, sexual health, increased sense of wellness, and reduced hot flashes. Recent studies and FDA actions have removed outdated warnings and support personalized approaches, bioidentical formulation, and individual health history as key to safe, effective HRT use.
At PartainMD, we take a thoughtful, nuanced approach to female HRT, carefully weighing risks and benefits for each patient. For many women, the results can be meaningful, including improved energy, better sleep, more stable mood, and relief from disruptive symptoms that affect daily quality of life.
Testosterone Therapy
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age in both men and women. When levels drop, people often notice symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, changes in mood, decreased sex drive, and, erectile dysfunction. Other signs may include difficulty gaining lean body mass, increased body fat, and reduced bone density.
When appropriate, we offer testosterone therapy in several forms, including injectable, oral troches and topical options, as well as pellet therapy through the BioTE program. Pellet therapy is a long-acting option many patients appreciate for its convenience and consistency. Pellets are typically placed every few months and provide a steady release of hormone without the need for frequent dosing.
Throughout treatment, your care is closely monitored as part of your primary care. We track how you’re feeling, adjust dosing as needed, and focus on safe, sustainable results that support your overall health.
