Your Care, Your Way
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to hormone health. At NIKS, we offer personalized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), with treatment recommendations based on your symptoms, medical history, and goals.Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as hormones your body naturally produces. Depending on your needs, your provider may discuss different prescription hormone therapies to help manage specific symptoms.
Address Menopause Symptoms
Estrogen Therapy
Estrogen therapy can help manage common menopause symptoms, including hot flashes and night sweats. Systemic estrogen treatments are available in several forms, including pills, patches, and gels. Your provider can help determine whether estrogen therapy is appropriate for you.
Support Your Treatment Plan
Estrogen & Progesterone Therapy
For patients who still have a uterus, progesterone or another progestogen is generally prescribed alongside systemic estrogen to help protect the uterine lining. Your provider will consider your medical history and treatment needs when recommending a hormone regimen.
Focus on Intimate Wellness
Localized Hormone Therapy
For menopause-related vaginal dryness and discomfort, low-dose vaginal estrogen may be an effective option. This treatment targets specific symptoms without the same level of whole-body hormone exposure as systemic therapy.
