What is women’s health care?
Women’s health care helps women manage their physical health and emotional wellness. At Priority Health MD, women’s health care is important for all women as they transition though the different phases of adulthood.
What does women’s health care involve?
Priority Health MD is an integrative medicine practice, so they take a holistic (whole-person) approach to health and wellness. No matter what phase of life you’re in, it’s important to know your body, learn about risk factors, and take steps to prevent illness and problems.
Your provider helps you achieve all of these things through comprehensive testing and physical exams. Along with the standard pelvic and breast exams, blood, urine, and saliva tests gather a comprehensive impression of your health.
Extensive testing can identify problems even before symptoms start. For example, Type 2 diabetes rarely causes symptoms in its early stages, but testing can determine whether you’re prediabetic or have the disease so you can take steps to prevent it from worsening.
Hormone imbalance is another example of why comprehensive testing is so important. Women start the menopause transition (when you lose a significant amount of female hormones) at around age 45-55. However, premature menopause can occur in your 20s or 30s.
The symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings, brain fog, weight gain, and lower libido, usually start gradually, but they can intensify, negatively affecting your quality of life. Testing can identify hormone imbalance early when the problem first starts. This allows you to get the treatment you need and prevent hormone loss from disrupting your life.
How can hormone replacement therapy help with women’s health?
Priority Health MD offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). These hormones are molecular copies of your body’s natural hormones. Pro-Pell® hormones are tiny pellets containing a measured dose of hormones based on your body’s needs.
Your provider places the pellets in the fatty layer of your hip during an office-based procedure. The pellets release a steady dose of hormones, keeping your hormone levels stable for 3-6 months*.
Hormone pellets can eliminate most of the difficulties of menopause, helping with symptom relief along with weight loss, energy, mood, and whole-body health.
Priority Health MD can also help with other women’s health concerns, so if you have questions about menstruation, family planning, or other needs, don’t hesitate to reach out. Call the office or schedule an appointment online today.
