Hormone Therapy For Women

The conversation around hormone therapy for women has shifted significantly. Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) — and the care required during perimenopause leading up to it — is now recognized as not just appropriate but important for many women. For women in their 40s and 50s dealing with hot flashes, disrupted sleep, mood changes, cognitive fog, weight gain, low libido or accelerated skin aging, the root cause is often hormonal. Getting an accurate picture of what’s happening — estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid — is the starting point for real relief.

Hormone Therapy For Men

Testosterone levels in men decline gradually with age, typically starting in the 30s and accelerating through the 40s and 50s. The symptoms are often attributed to ‘getting older’ — fatigue, reduced motivation, weight gain around the midsection, difficulty building muscle, low libido and mood changes. In many cases, the underlying driver is hormonal. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) can improve energy, body composition, mental clarity and quality of life. Dr. Delaney reviews a comprehensive hormone and metabolic panel before recommending any course of treatment.

Why Patients Choose Our Practice

Bioidentical vs. Synthetic Hormones

Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones the body naturally produces. Many patients and physicians prefer them because they behave in the body the way endogenous hormones do. Dr. Delaney uses bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) and will discuss the options and trade-offs at your consultation.

Sexual Health

Sexual health concerns — low libido, pain, arousal and function — are closely connected to hormone levels in both men and women. These are topics patients often avoid bringing up but that have real, treatable causes. Dr. Delaney approaches sexual health without judgment, and treatment options — including PRP Shot therapy — are discussed in the context of your overall hormone picture.

Frequently Asked Questions on Hormone Therapy

Is hormone therapy safe?

For most healthy patients, appropriately prescribed and monitored hormone therapy is both safe and beneficial. The blanket concern that followed early HRT research has been substantially revised. Dr. Delaney reviews your full health history, including any contraindications, before recommending a course of treatment.

How do I know if I need hormone therapy?

Common signs include fatigue, disrupted sleep, mood changes, weight gain that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise, low libido, hot flashes or cognitive fog. Lab work tells part of the story — your symptoms tell the rest. Dr. Delaney evaluates both.

What is the difference between MHT and general HRT?

Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) refers specifically to the use of hormones to manage menopause symptoms. It’s a subset of hormone replacement therapy with a specific clinical focus on the transition through menopause. Dr. Delaney uses this framing because it reflects a more holistic, patient-centered approach to treating women in this stage of life.

How long does it take to feel results?

Most patients begin to notice changes within four to eight weeks of starting hormone therapy, with more significant improvements at three to six months as levels stabilize. Results vary based on the individual, the hormones being addressed and the delivery method used.
