Hormone therapy (HT) is a medical treatment used to relieve symptoms caused by hormone imbalances — often related to menopause or thyroid conditions. Hormones are powerful chemical messengers that regulate your body’s temperature, metabolism, mood, energy, and more. When they become imbalanced, you may feel physically and emotionally off.
Hormone therapy helps restore those hormone levels and alleviate symptoms, while also providing long-term protective benefits for bone and cardiovascular health.
Signs you may benefit from hormone therapy
You might be a good candidate for hormone therapy if you’re experiencing:
- Hot flashes or night sweats (vasomotor symptoms)
- Vaginal dryness or pain during sex
- Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
- Low libido or sexual discomfort
- Insomnia or poor-quality sleep
- Brain fog or trouble concentrating
- Unexplained weight gain or fatigue
- Bone loss or early signs of osteoporosis
Personalized, evidence-based care
Dr. Gelderman-Moffett follows the gold-standard guidelines established by The Menopause Society to ensure hormone therapy is safe, effective, and personalized. Your care begins with a comprehensive evaluation:
- Detailed health history
- Physical exam
- Hormone and thyroid lab work
- Lifestyle review and symptom assessment
Together, you’ll decide on the best course of treatment — whether that includes estrogen therapy, progesterone, thyroid support, or other non-hormonal options.
Types of hormone therapy we offer
Hormone therapy is not one-size-fits-all. We’ll choose the form that works best for your lifestyle and goals, including:
- Patches
- Gels or creams
- Oral tablets
- Vaginal ring for systemic treatment or local treatment
- Vaginal therapies (for local relief)
We use FDA-approved bioidentical hormones whenever possible — compounds that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces.
What to expect with treatment
Once treatment begins, Dr. Gelderman-Moffett will monitor your progress and check in at 3 and 6 months, adjusting your plan as needed to ensure symptom relief and long-term safety. Most women begin to feel a noticeable difference within weeks.
We also offer support for thyroid hormone management, including evaluation and treatment for hypothyroidism, which becomes more common with age and can worsen menopausal symptoms.
Understanding vasomotor symptoms (VMS)
Vasomotor symptoms — the hallmark signs of menopause — include:
- Hot flashes: sudden waves of heat, flushing, and sweating (often affecting the face, neck, chest, or upper back)
- Night sweats: hot flashes that disrupt sleep at night
VMS can severely impact quality of life. Hormone therapy is considered the most effective treatment for moderate to severe hot flashes and night sweats, and can also improve sleep and daily functioning.
You don’t have to suffer through hormonal changes.
Let’s find the right solution — together.
