Genetics, environmental factors, and aging can greatly affect one’s hormone levels. An unbalanced hormonal profile can negatively impact the body’s natural functions, leading to frustrating physical symptoms such as:
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Increased body weight
- Decreased libido
- Insomnia
- Peri/post-menopausal symptoms
Correcting this imbalance is key to regaining a healthy life. While maintaining a healthy diet and exercising are important steps towards achieving balanced hormone levels, sometimes these measures are not enough. For some individuals, supplementing the body with bio-identical hormones (hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced in the body) is necessary.
Key Hormones
in Compounded Hormone Therapy
At Mills Compounding Pharmacy, we understand the unique needs of women’s health. Our pharmacy works closely with women and their healthcare provider to create customized medications tailored to your body’s specific requirements. Routine monitoring of your hormone levels is essential to achieving optimal results and minimizing potential side effects. Achieving hormonal balance also includes thyroid and adrenal function, as well as nutritional status. This personalized approach ensures that you receive the precise dosage and form of medication that best suits your needs.
Estrogen
Prescribed to help alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, and urinary disorders. It may also support bone health and cardiovascular wellness.
Progesterone
Often used in combination with estrogen to help prevent estrogen dominance and relieve symptoms like insomnia and anxiety. It may enhance estrogen's benefits on the cardiovascular system and is also used to regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce PMS symptoms in pre-menopausal women.
Androgens
Including DHEA and testosterone, these hormones are vital for vitality, libido, and the health of skin, bones, and muscles. Androgen levels may decline during menopause, and supplementation can be beneficial for deficient women.
