To know if you have a hormone imbalance, we start by looking out for the following symptoms:

• Fatigue and weakness
• Weight gain or loss
• Changes in skin and hair
• Mood swings and irritability
• Depression and anxiety
• Low sex drive
• Infertility
• Insomnia
• Hot flashes and night sweats

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's recommended that you consult with a doctor to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. When you visit Hormone Clinic, we can run a full diagnosis and observe your medical history while measuring the current hormone levels in your body to understand if you are suffering from hormonal imbalance.

Most common side effects of pellet HRT are mild and include temporary soreness at the insertion site, breast tenderness, acne, and increased hair growth. In rare cases, more severe side effects can occur, including increased red blood cells, insertion site infection, and pellet extrusion. Speaking to a healthcare provider to discuss BHRT's potential risks and benefits is essential.

Yes, hormone imbalances can cause anxiety. Hormones play a significant role in regulating mood and emotions, and an imbalance can disrupt this balance and lead to symptoms of anxiety. For example, an overproduction or underproduction of thyroid hormones can cause anxiety, as can imbalances of estrogen and testosterone. Additionally, changes in cortisol levels due to stress can also contribute to anxiety symptoms.

It's important to consult a doctor if you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, as they can help determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment options.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is used to replace hormones that have declined due to aging or other factors, such as menopause in women and andropause in men. The hormones can be administered in various forms, including pills, creams, gels, or pellets, and the goal is to restore the balance of hormones to alleviate symptoms related to the hormonal imbalance.

At the Hormone Clinic, we strive for optimal results by addressing the causes behind diseases while managing the symptoms. We start with a screening questionnaire to identify symptomatic patients, followed by a set of laboratory blood tests. These tests help us assess the levels of various hormones, complete blood counts, comprehensive metabolic panels, and complete thyroid function panel. They also measure the levels of electrolytes, Vit D, Vit B12, PSA, FSH, thyroid peroxidase antibody, liver, gall bladder, and kidney functions. Based on the laboratory test results and patient consultation, the physician will make diagnosis and formulate the personalized treatment plan to restore patient’s hormonal balance. Any identified underlying disease will also be addressed and or treated as needed.

It's possible to successfully balance your hormone levels to the desired level in 4 week, which can be easily verified by a blood test. The amount of time it takes for bioidentical hormones to improve your body function can vary depending on several factors, including the individual's specific health condition, age, and compliance.

As few as two subcutaneous pellet insertion procedures per year can effectively balance the levels of hormones in your body, and up to 95% of patients who visit Hormone Clinic experience relief from hormone issues in as little as 4-6 weeks.
