What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) helps alleviate unpleasant symptoms associated with menopause by supplementing declining hormones. As women approach menopause, their ovaries produce less estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
This hormone fluctuation is responsible for hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, and sleep disturbances.
There are two main HRT regimens:
| Type | Description |
| Estrogen-only therapy | For women who have had hysterectomies and no longer have a uterus |
| Combination therapy | Estrogen plus progesterone for women with intact uteruses to avoid potential uterine cancer risk |
HRT can provide relief by:
- Replenishing estrogen to regulate menstrual cycles and minimize menopausal symptoms
- Restoring progesterone to prepare the uterus for pregnancy
- Boosting testosterone to improve libido, energy, and mood
At Allure Medical, we offer hormone pellet implants that provide steady hormone release over 3-6 months, avoiding the ups and downs of other methods. Pellet implants also eliminate the need for daily pills or applications.
Understanding the Role of Hormones in Women’s Bodies
Your hormones are chemical messengers that regulate bodily processes from menstruation to cognition. Here are key roles that estrogen, progesterone and testosterone play throughout a woman’s life:
- Initiate puberty and breast development
- Control ovulation and menstruation
- Support pregnancy and fetal development
- Impact distribution of body fat
- Influence cholesterol levels
- Affect heart health and blood vessels
- Guide sexual desire and function
- Contribute to bone density
- Influence mental focus, memory and mood
When these hormones drop around perimenopause and menopause, it triggers symptoms ranging from hot flashes to depression. Hormone levels change throughout life during puberty, monthly cycles, pregnancy and menopause. Understanding their influence empowers you to optimize health at each stage.
Signs and Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance
Every woman experiences menopause differently. But hormone fluctuations often cause these symptoms:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort
- Irregular periods
- Loss of libido
- Disrupted sleep
- Weight gain
- Hair loss or thinning
- Depression, anxiety and moodiness
- Memory lapses and difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue and low energy
If you’re dealing with multiple hormonal issues, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We can check your levels and determine if HRT is right for you. Ignoring symptoms can lead to worsening discomfort, health risks and lost quality of life.

The Protective Benefits of HRT
In addition to relieving menopause symptoms, research shows hormone therapy may lower risks for certain health conditions:
Reduced Risk of Heart Disease
Estrogen helps keep blood vessels flexible and maintains good cholesterol levels. Women who receive HRT within 6-10 years of menopause may benefit from a lower chance of heart attack and cardiovascular death. HRT’s cardiovascular benefits seem most robust when therapy starts before age 60.
Research shows HRT can significantly reduce cardiovascular disease risk in postmenopausal women by 52% after 10 years of treatment. A major Danish study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology followed over 1,000 women for 16 years.
Half the women took HRT (estrogen with or without progestogen) while the other half took none. After the full course of study, the HRT group still had a 39% lower risk.
Lower Risk of Breast Cancer
For most women, HRT with estrogen alone does not increase breast cancer risk. The risk associated with HRT is influenced by various factors such as the type of HRT used, duration of use, age, and general health.
It is crucial to schedule a personalized consultation with our highly-trained healthcare professionals in order to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses each patient’s unique needs, goals and medical history.
The key is beginning HRT shortly after menopause starts. This allows your body to benefit from stable hormone levels before age-related changes progress too far.

| Gels | – Hormone dosing can be easily adjusted based on symptoms – Applied topically once daily | – May be messy or rub off on clothes/sheets with daily application – Difficult to deliver precise hormone dosing |
| Injections | – Allow for monthly hormone delivery with single in-office injection – Avoid daily administration | – Require office visits every 3-4 weeks for injections – Can cause pain/discomfort at injection site – Hormone levels may spike and dip before next injection |
