Women’s Health

Hormone levels naturally start to decline for women as they surpass their 30’s. Hormonal decline in women is termed menopause (or perimenopause, which means “around” or the timeframe “prior to” menopause), and can bring about a host of uncomfortable symptoms, affecting personal and professional relationships and dramatically impacting state of health and quality of life.

 

Fortunately, many hormonal-related concerns can be addressed with Bio-identical Hormone Therapy, which uses exact replicas of the hormones our own body’s produce, lessening unwanted risks and side effects and encouraging a more natural state in the body.

 

Women’s health issues, such as hot flashes, mood changes or a reduction in sex drive, are often due to low or imbalanced/fluctuating hormone levels. Dr. Karla Alberts is an expert in Hormone Therapy and can help if you’re experiencing symptoms like these or other women’s health problems.
