How do you typically diagnose and treat hormone imbalances?
To diagnose hormone imbalances, we conduct a thorough physical examination, review your medical history, and may order blood or other diagnostic tests. Once we have determined the specific hormonal imbalance, we develop an individualized treatment plan that may include lifestyle modifications, medication, hormone replacement therapy, or other treatments.
What are the common side effects and risks associated with hormone replacement therapy?
While hormone replacement therapy can be effective in treating certain conditions, it does carry some risks and potential side effects. These may include an increased risk of breast cancer, blood clots, stroke, and heart disease. However, the risks and side effects vary depending on the individual and the type of hormone replacement therapy used.
Can you provide references or patient testimonials?
Yes, we can provide references or patient testimonials upon request. We value our patients' privacy and confidentiality, but we are happy to share feedback from satisfied patients who have benefited from our hormone-related treatments.
