Understanding Hormone Therapy for Women

Hormones are the chemical messengers that direct and play a vital role in nearly every functionnof a woman’s body. This includes reproduction, metabolism, energy, immune response, mood,

and sleep cycles. When these powerful signals become imbalanced, even slightly, the impact on daily life can be profound. As women age, natural hormone production declines, often leading to uncomfortable symptoms that can affect quality of life, but also puts a woman at risk for preventable diseases. At Wellspring, we specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for women, including testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone therapy. Treatment plans are customized and designed to restore balance for all stages of life.

What Is Estrogen Replacement Therapy?

Estrogen (estradiol) is a key female hormone that regulates menstrual cycles, bone health,

cholesterol levels, and even brain function. When estrogen levels drop—most commonly during perimenopause and menopause—women may experience symptoms such as:

● Hot flashes and night sweats

● Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and panic attacks

● Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sexual intercourse

● Decrease in libido

● Fatigue and low energy

● Brain fog, memory loss, difficulty concentrating

● Weight changes and difficulty losing weight (especially around mid-section)

● Trouble sleeping

Estrogen helps replenish declining hormone levels to ease these symptoms and support long-term health. At Wellspring, our providers use bioidentical hormones when appropriate, ensuring the therapy matches the body’s natural chemistry.

The Benefits of Estrogen Therapy

Many women find that hormone replacement is life-changing. Benefits may include:

● Reduction in hot flashes and night sweats

● Improved mood, focus, and memory

● Better sleep quality

● Healthier skin and hair

● Protection for bone density, reducing risk of osteoporosis

● Enhanced sexual health and comfort

Every woman’s needs are unique, which is why we tailor treatment to your symptoms, lifestyle, and health history.

Beyond Estrogen: Other Hormonal Therapies for Women

While estrogen is the hormone most often discussed, it’s not the only one that matters.

Wellspring offers a comprehensive approach to female hormone therapy, which may

include:

● Progesterone: Balances estrogen, supports sleep, and protects uterine health.

● Testosterone: In small, carefully managed doses, testosterone can improve energy,

libido, and muscle tone.

● Thyroid Optimization: Ensures that metabolism, energy, and mood are supported.

● Customized Hormone Balancing Programs: Using lab testing and symptom tracking,

we design a plan that works for your body.

This holistic approach ensures that women don’t just get relief from symptoms, but also

experience improvement in overall health and quality of life.
