Hormone Therapy

If you’re bothered by fatigue, weight gain, depression, or sexual dysfunction due to hormone fluctuations, see Sheila K. Rohe, MSN, CRNP, FNP-C, at Bloom Health NP in Frederick, Maryland. She uses bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to balance hormones and improve your well-being. Schedule an appointment by phone or online today.

What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone Therapy supplements your body with hormones identical to those your body produces. Sheila inserts tiny pellets beneath your skin to reduce unwanted side effects that often accompany low testosterone, low estrogen, or other hormone imbalances.

The hormones used in Hormone Therapy products are custom-compounded to your specific needs. The pharmacies that make pellets abide by rigorous quality standards and manufacturing practices.

What are the benefits of Hormone Therapy?

If you struggle with unbalanced hormones, choosing hormone replacement therapy offers numerous benefits, including:

• Fewer mood swings
• Less depression
• Reductions in hot flashes
• Improved weight management
• Easy weight loss
• Less body fat
• Increased muscle mass
• Better quality of life
• Reduced erectile dysfunction (ED) in men
• Less vaginal dryness in women
• Improved sexual function
• Increased sexual desire
• Thicker hair
• Younger-looking appearance
• More energy

Hormone Therapy pellets are tiny and painless when inserted under your skin. You don’t have to worry about taking a pill, applying creams, using injections, or wearing patches after receiving Hormone Therapy pellets.

Is hormone replacement therapy right for me?

To determine if you’re a candidate for hormone therapy, Sheila discusses your goals and reviews your medical history. She also completes a physical exam and orders blood tests to evaluate your current hormone levels and establish the most appropriate treatment plan.

What should I expect when using Hormone Therapy?

After Sheila receives your customized pellets, she numbs the treatment area, makes a tiny incision, and inserts the pellets into the tissues near your upper buttocks area. She closes the incisions using medical tape. There’s no downtime after pellet insertion, and the process is convenient, quick, safe, and highly effective.

When will I notice the effects of Hormone Therapy?

While people experience varying results, most who begin bioidentical hormone replacement therapy notice some relief in as little as four weeks, with full optimization occurring within six months (sometimes longer). After about 3-5 months or as needed, Sheila may complete blood tests and can replace the hormone pellets to ensure long-lasting results.
