Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in Bergen County and Passaic County, NJ
HRT is a medical treatment that involves replacing hormones in the body that are either
no longer produced or produced at a lower level. This therapy is used to relieve
symptoms of menopause in women, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal
dryness. In men, HRT can help address symptoms of low testosterone levels, including
fatigue, reduced muscle mass, and low libido. We offer comprehensive HRT through
pills, patches, creams, or injections. Our experts tailor it based on a person’s individual
needs and medical history.

Our Hormone Therapy (HRT) Process
Initial Consultation
We review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and perform a physical
examination to determine if hormone therapy is appropriate for you.
Hormone Assessment
We measure hormone levels, such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, to
identify any deficiencies or imbalances that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Treatment Plan Development
Based on the hormone assessment results and your specific symptoms and needs, your
healthcare provider will develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan will outline
the type of hormones to be used, the dosage, and the method of administration (e.g.,
pills, patches, creams, injections).
Initiation of Therapy
We start with a low dose of hormones and gradually increase it over time to achieve
optimal symptom relief while minimizing side effects.
Monitoring and Adjustment
Throughout hormone therapy, regular monitoring is essential to assess your response to treatment and make any necessary adjustments to your hormone regimen. This may involve periodic blood tests to check hormone levels and evaluate your overall health
and well-being.
Symptom Management
As hormone therapy progresses, your healthcare provider will work with you to manage
any symptoms or side effects that may arise. This may include adjusting hormone
dosages, switching to a different hormone formulation, or addressing other factors that
may be contributing to your symptoms.
Ongoing Follow-Up
Hormone therapy is typically an ongoing treatment, so it is important to maintain a
balanced hormone level and manage your symptoms regularly. We will continue to
monitor your progress and make any necessary modifications to your treatment plan as
needed.
