Hormone changes are a natural part of life—but that doesn’t mean you have to suffer through the symptoms. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, or age-related hormone decline, Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) offers a powerful, personalized solution to help restore balance and improve your overall well-being.
At Flow Wellness, we understand that every individual’s hormone journey is different. That’s why we offer customized BHRT plans to address your unique symptoms and health goals—so you can get back to feeling like yourself again. Many patients notice meaningful improvements within just a few weeks of starting treatment.
Let’s explore how BHRT can help alleviate some of the most common hormone-related symptoms and support a healthier, more vibrant life.
1. Hot Flashes and Night Sweats
Sudden waves of heat and intense sweating can disrupt your day—and your sleep. These vasomotor symptoms are often one of the first signs of menopause or hormone imbalance. BHRT works by stabilizing estrogen levels, which in turn reduces the frequency and intensity of hot flashes and night sweats. The result? Greater comfort, fewer interruptions, and a calmer daily rhythm.
2. Sleep Disturbances
Hormonal fluctuations can wreak havoc on your sleep. You may struggle to fall asleep, wake frequently during the night, or feel unrefreshed in the morning. By addressing the underlying hormone imbalances that contribute to night sweats, restlessness, and disrupted circadian rhythms, BHRT supports deeper, more restorative sleep, so you wake up feeling energized and ready for the day.
3. Irritability and Mood Swings
If you’ve found yourself feeling more easily frustrated, emotionally reactive, or simply not like yourself, hormone changes may be to blame. Estrogen plays a key role in regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which influence mood and emotional stability. BHRT helps balance these levels, reducing irritability, anxiety, and mood swings, and restoring a more even, positive outlook.
4. Urinary Incontinence
Many women are surprised to learn that hormones also play a role in bladder control. Declining estrogen levels can weaken the pelvic tissues, leading to stress or urge incontinence. BHRT helps strengthen and support the tissues of the urinary tract, improving bladder control and giving you more confidence and freedom in your daily activities.
5. Joint Pain and Stiffness
Hormonal decline is often associated with increased inflammation, which can result in aching joints and stiffness, especially in the morning or after exercise. BHRT may help reduce inflammation and ease discomfort, allowing for improved mobility and less pain—so you can stay active and enjoy movement again.
6. Vaginal Dryness and Discomfort
Hormonal changes can lead to vaginal dryness, thinning tissue, and irritation, which may cause discomfort during intimacy and affect your personal confidence. BHRT helps restore tissue elasticity and natural moisture, quickly relieving symptoms and improving sexual health and overall comfort.
7. Memory Lapses and Brain Fog
If you’ve been forgetting appointments, misplacing things, or feeling mentally “foggy,” hormones could be playing a role. Estrogen influences blood flow and neurotransmitter activity in the brain. BHRT supports cognitive function and mental clarity, helping reduce brain fog and improving memory, focus, and attention.
