Hormone Deficiency Treatments in Fort Worth, TX

Do you wonder if you suffer from hormone deficiencies? Have you been meaning to come in and get your hormones checked?

What are the Causes of Hormone Deficiency?

Hormone deficiency can be caused by both natural aging or surgically induced menopause, but you don’t have to continue to tolerate these symptoms.

What are the Treatment Options for Hormone Deficiency?

We have many treatment options, and sometimes you need more than one treatment at the same time in order to properly address your hormone deficiency symptoms. Unlike hot flashes that tend to resolve over time, vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) tends to get worse over time without treatment. This condition can lead to other problems like frequent UTIs.

There is no reason to be embarrassed to talk with your gynecologist about these painful symptoms of hormone deficiency, or to be afraid of therapy. VVA is a very common condition that is absolutely treatable with simple and painless hormone therapy procedures.

The standard treatment tends to be estrogen therapy, but new oral and vaginal therapies have recently become available that are not like traditional estrogen therapy.
