Women’s Hormone Replacement Therapy

The aging process can bring hormonal changes that affect your body, mood, and overall sense of well-being. At our Fort Collins, CO location, women’s hormone therapy is designed to help restore healthy hormone balance so you can continue living with confidence, energy, and vitality. By supporting your body with the hormones it needs, our treatments help combat many common symptoms associated with aging and menopause.

What is hormone therapy?

Hormone therapy can be an effective option for women dealing with moderate to severe menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, emotional fluctuations, fatigue, and brain fog. Through a personalized bio-identical hormone therapy program, many women experience relief from these symptoms while also addressing hormonal imbalances associated with peri-menopause, PMS, thyroid disorders, and adrenal fatigue.

How is hormone therapy administered?

At Genesis, hormone replacement therapy involves replenishing hormones that naturally decline during menopause or pre-menopause. Treatment is typically administered through bio-identical hormone pellets that are inserted beneath the skin, commonly in the hip or buttock area.

How bio-identical hormone pellets work

Bio-identical hormone pellets release consistent, low doses of hormones directly into the bloodstream, closely replicating the body’s natural hormone delivery system. These pellets contain only the prescribed hormone and are designed to dissolve completely and be absorbed naturally by the body over time.

Key benefits of hormone replacement therapy

Women who participate in our customized bio-identical hormone replacement therapy programs often experience significant improvements in how they feel physically and emotionally. Each treatment plan is tailored to support important aspects of overall wellness, including:

Energy

Restoring hormonal balance can help improve daily energy levels while supporting lean muscle maintenance and physical performance.

Libido

Optimized hormone levels may help improve sex drive and overall sexual wellness.

Mood

Hormone balance can help stabilize mood, reduce irritability, and lessen symptoms of depression and anxiety to support emotional well-being.

Cardiovascular system

Proper hormone levels support cardiovascular health by helping the heart and blood vessels effectively transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

Pellet treatment details

During your hormone replacement therapy appointment, our team will prepare the insertion area before treatment begins. The pellet is generally inserted beneath the skin in the hip or buttock region. The area will first be sterilized and numbed with a local anesthetic injection. Once the area is numb, a small insertion tool creates a pathway under the skin where the pellet is placed into the tissue. The average pellet contains a 100-milligram dose. After insertion, the area will be covered with tape and gauze, and an ice pack may be used to help minimize swelling or bruising.

Recovery and results

Patients should avoid getting the dressing wet for 24 hours following treatment and should limit activities that stretch the treated area for approximately two days. The benefits of the pellet generally last between 3 and 6 months, at which point another pellet may be administered if the treatment continues to be effective.
