Treating a Hormone Imbalance
Here at our Brownsville, TX, practice, Dr. Guajardo and his team want to make sure that women have access to the care they need to help balance out their hormones and to help them feel their best in all stages of life. One of the most common ways to balance hormones is with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). During your evaluation, we will run the appropriate tests to check hormone levels before we create your HRT treatment plan. After all, your blood results will help us determine which hormones need to be adjusted.
Along with hormone replacement therapy, many of our patients also see an improvement in their symptoms through increased exercise, improved sleep hygiene, a healthy diet, and other simple lifestyle changes. This is also something that we can discuss during your consultation. If you are experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and other issues due to menopause or a hormonal imbalance, contact gynecologist, Dr. Guajardo about your options for improving hormone levels.
