Women's Hormones
Hormonal changes are a natural part of aging for women, but the symptoms don't have to be. Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy can help restore balance and vitality.
Perimenopause & Menopause
On average, women begin perimenopause around age 40 when progesterone levels start to decline. Complete ovarian failure typically occurs by age 51. During this transition, fluctuating and falling hormone levels can cause a wide range of symptoms that significantly impact quality of life.
Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance in Women
Long-Term Health Risks
Beyond the immediate discomforts, low hormone levels in women are associated with serious long-term health consequences. These include a 50% increased chance of osteoporosis fractures, higher rates of dementia and cognitive decline, atrophy of female anatomy, and decreased life expectancy. Addressing hormonal deficiency proactively is an investment in your long-term health.
BHRT for Women
Dr. Borgardt prescribes bio-identical estradiol, estriol, progesterone, and testosterone — the same hormones your body produces naturally. Treatment is individualized based on your symptoms, lab work, and health history. Hormones are typically delivered via compounded creams, gels, or capsules, and dosing is carefully adjusted at follow-up visits to achieve optimal symptom relief.
