Hormone replacement therapy for hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems and mood changes, managed by a board-certified provider who follows you over time.
Perimenopause often starts years before periods stop, and the symptoms are frequently put down to stress, ageing or a busy life. If any of this sounds familiar, it is worth a conversation rather than waiting it out.
HRT is not right for everyone. If your history makes it unsuitable, we will tell you and talk through what else can help.
A lot of women in Marion County have been told their symptoms are just part of getting older. They are common, but common is not the same as untreatable. Having a provider who follows your symptoms over years, rather than a single appointment, is what makes this work.
We care for patients across Ocala, Silver Springs Shores, Belleview, Summerfield and Ocklawaha, from our clinic on SE 5th Street at Peppertree.
HRT replaces the estrogen, and often progesterone, that your body produces less of during perimenopause and menopause. It is used to relieve symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, mood changes and vaginal dryness.
That depends on your symptoms, your age, how long since your last period, and your personal and family medical history. Some histories make HRT unsuitable. The way to find out is an assessment visit where we go through all of it properly.
For many women starting within about ten years of menopause, benefits outweigh risks. But it depends on your individual history, particularly around breast cancer, blood clots and heart disease. We will go through what the evidence means for you specifically rather than in general.
Call the clinic at (352) 566-3706 and we will explain which options we offer and which would suit your situation. The right form depends on your symptoms, your history and your preference.
Many women notice improvement in hot flashes and sleep within a few weeks, though it can take a few months to find the right dose. That is why follow-up is part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
No. HRT is commonly used during perimenopause, while periods are still happening but becoming irregular. You do not have to wait until they stop to get help with symptoms.
Coverage varies by plan and by the form prescribed. Call us with your plan name and we will help you find out. Direct Primary Care members have their visits covered under the monthly membership.
They are common, but that does not mean you have to live with them. If symptoms are affecting your sleep, your work or your relationships, that is reason enough to come in and talk about options.
Call the clinic and book an assessment. We will go through your symptoms properly and tell you honestly whether HRT is the right fit.
