Hormone Replacement Therapy

During menopause, women’s bodies stop producing specific hormones such as estrogen. If you experience early menopause, such as before the age of 45, you may need hormone replacement therapy to prevent the risk of specific diseases (such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke).

The hormone replacement therapy at our facility in Yorktown Heights is the most effective treatment designed to replace estrogen and manage menopause symptoms more effectively. A specific dose of estrogen is administered according to the personalized needs of women to relieve the problematic symptoms and reduce the risk of any other health problems.

The Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be highly beneficial in many ways, such as the following:

• If you experience severe hot flashes and night sweats, HRT can relieve these symptoms to a significant extent.
• It can also ease the various vaginal symptoms of menopause, such as dryness, itching, burning, and discomfort during intercourse.
• It can prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures.
• Estrogen HRT can help decrease your risk of developing certain health conditions such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, and dementia.

Menopause is a normal process that usually occurs in women over the age of 45. Most of the symptoms during menopause usually pass on their own. However, some women may experience more uncomfortable or unbearable symptoms, which may affect their daily activities. So, if you experience highly uncomfortable menopausal symptoms, schedule a consultation with our double board-certified physician Dr. Monica Grover.

Many women may also experience chronic period problems, abnormal periods, or bleeding requiring hormone replacement therapy (HRT). So, if you encounter any warning signs, it’s best to schedule a consultation with a physician. During the consultation, the doctor may recommend some diagnostic tests to assess the hormone deficiency. Depending on the result, the doctor will discuss how to proceed with the Hormone Replacement Therapy in New York.
