Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormonal changes can affect energy, mood, sleep, sexual health, and overall well-being. At Keith Family Medicine, we provide personalized hormone evaluation and treatment for both women and men based on individual symptoms, health history, laboratory results, and treatment goals.

Hormone therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Our providers take the time to evaluate your concerns and determine whether hormone replacement therapy may be appropriate for you.

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can cause a variety of symptoms that may affect daily life. These may include hot flashes, night sweats, sleep changes, mood changes, low energy, vaginal dryness or discomfort, and changes in libido or sexual health.

When appropriate, hormone replacement therapy may be considered to help manage symptoms associated with menopause and other hormonal changes. Your provider will review your health history, symptoms, and individual risk factors before recommending treatment.

Low testosterone can be associated with changes in energy, libido, sexual function, mood, muscle mass, and overall well-being.

Our providers can evaluate your symptoms and testosterone levels to determine whether testosterone therapy may be appropriate. Because these symptoms can have other causes, proper evaluation and laboratory testing are an important part of developing an individualized treatment plan.

Depending on your individual needs, your care may include:

• Review of symptoms and health history
• Laboratory testing
• Evaluation of hormone levels
• Discussion of treatment options
• Hormone replacement therapy when appropriate
• Testosterone therapy for men when appropriate
• Regular follow-up and monitoring
• Treatment adjustments based on your response and health needs

Follow-up is an important part of hormone therapy. Our providers monitor your response to treatment, review relevant laboratory results, and make adjustments when appropriate.

Our goal is to provide individualized care that considers your hormone-related concerns in the context of your overall health and well-being.
