What Female Hormone Therapy Includes
Female hormone therapy (HRT) involves restoring hormonal balance using physician-prescribed hormones tailored to laboratory findings and clinical needs. Protocols may include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or bioidentical combinations, adjusted over time based on response and repeat testing.
At Evolve, an in-house laboratory provides results within about 60 minutes after a blood draw. Standard panels include hormones (testosterone, estrogen, FSH, LH), lipid panel, complete blood count, thyroid panel, and complete metabolic panel to determine overall hormone status.
Therapy may include:
Testosterone (weekly or every two weeks, intramuscular)
Estrogen patch (changed every three days)
Progesterone (daily pill at bedtime)
This protocol is tailored based on lab results and consultation.
Some side effects may occur, such as temporary breast tenderness, irregular bleeding (estrogen without progestin), fluid retention, or increased clotting risk with certain therapies. Through blood work, proper dosing, and clinical consultation, side effects are monitored and managed.
