Common signs of hormone imbalance include fatigue, weight gain (especially around the midsection), decreased muscle mass, brain fog, mood changes, sleep disturbances, reduced libido, and sexual dysfunction. However, the only way to definitively determine if you have a hormone imbalance is through comprehensive testing. Our specialists can evaluate your symptoms and test results to determine if hormone therapy is appropriate for you.

When properly administered and monitored by qualified medical professionals, hormone therapy is generally safe for most patients. At ABC Clinic, we conduct thorough evaluations before beginning treatment, use bioidentical hormones when appropriate, and provide regular monitoring throughout your treatment to ensure safety and efficacy. As with any medical treatment, there are potential risks and benefits that our doctors will discuss with you during your consultation.

The timeline for experiencing results varies depending on the individual and the specific hormone therapy. Some patients report improvements in energy, sleep, and mood within the first few weeks of treatment. Other benefits, such as changes in body composition, sexual function, and cognitive improvements, may take 3-6 months to become fully apparent. Our doctors will provide you with realistic expectations based on your specific situation and treatment plan.

Bioidentical hormones have the exact same molecular structure as the hormones naturally produced by your body. This means they fit perfectly into your hormone receptors and function in the same way as your natural hormones. Synthetic hormones have a similar but not identical structure, which can sometimes lead to different effects or side effects. At ABC Clinic, we primarily use bioidentical hormones when appropriate for your specific needs, as they often provide optimal results with minimal side effects.

Insurance coverage for hormone therapy varies depending on your specific insurance plan and the diagnosis. Many insurance plans cover hormone therapy when there is a documented medical need. Our insurance specialists can verify your benefits and explain your coverage options. For services not covered by insurance, we offer several payment options including Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) payments, as well as monthly payment plans.
