How Much is Hormone Therapy?

Are the effects of menopause or other hormonal changes affecting your daily life? Your body may not be producing enough of certain hormones for various reasons, and hormone replacement therapy can help.

What is Hormone Therapy?

Hormone therapy is a medical treatment that uses synthetic or plant-based hormones to replace or supplement hormones your body isn’t producing enough of. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate various bodily functions, such as metabolism, mood, and sexual function. When the body’s hormone levels are imbalanced due to age, illness, or other factors, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be used to restore balance.

At Alamo Ranch, our goal is to improve your quality of life by enhancing your wellness and boosting your confidence. We use bioidentical hormone therapy to help men and women overcome common concerns like menopause symptoms, hair loss, decreased energy, and more. 

How Much Does Hormone Therapy Cost?

One of the unique things about HRT is that every treatment is completely customized to each patient’s needs. Not only will the type of hormones used vary from patient to patient, but so will the delivery method. Hormone therapy can be given as a topical cream, an injection, or a tablet or capsule you take orally. Certain HRT treatments may also be covered by insurance. 

With so many factors, the cost of hormone therapy varies for each patient. For example, according to GoodRx, a certain estrogen cream may cost around $400, while an oral estrogen medication could cost as little as $10 for a 90-day supply. We encourage you to schedule a consultation at Alamo Ranch so we can create a customized hormone treatment plan and give you a more accurate quote.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy

Since hormone replacement therapy is personalized to your needs, results vary for each patient. Some of the most common benefits of HRT include:

• Decreased symptoms of menopause, including reduced vaginal dryness, hot flashes, and mood swings
• Improved mood
• Increased energy levels and physical strength
• Healthier hair
• Boosted metabolism
• Better sexual health

Alamo Ranch uses plant-based bioidentical hormones that match your natural hormones more closely than the synthetic hormones traditionally used for HRT. These bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to your natural hormones.

What to Expect During Hormone Therapy

The first step of your treatment will be a consultation at Alamo Ranch so we can discuss your goals and concerns to help you determine if HRT is right for you. We then use a DUTCH (dry urine total comprehensive hormone) test to assess your exact hormone and endocrine needs. 

Once we’ve created your custom treatment plan, we’ll work with local pharmacies to compound your medication. This may be a topical cream, capsule, or dissolving tablet. We’ll give you instructions on how to use your specific hormone medication. You should see a gradual improvement over the next few weeks or months.

Am I a Good Candidate for Hormone Therapy (HRT)?

Almost anyone can be a good candidate for hormone therapy. HRT is most often sought out by women going through menopause, but it can benefit anyone experiencing hormonal imbalances. Hormones can be imbalanced because of age, stress, diet, or other factors.
