Signs of a Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal imbalances can affect both women and men, often in ways that are easy to overlook or misdiagnose. 

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical hormone therapy uses hormones formulated to match the chemical and molecular structure of those naturally produced by the human body. These plant-derived hormones may be personalized to support each patient’s individual needs. 

Because bioidentical hormones are similar to our natural hormones, they’re better received than the non-bioidentical (or synthetic) hormones used in standard hormone replacement therapy. They may improve efficacy with fewer side effects.

What to Expect: Hormone Treatment at the Intimate Health Center

Step 1: Consultation

Your patient journey begins with a conversation with Dr. Ghozland, who takes time to understand how you’re feeling and what has changed. Together, you’ll review your medical history, discuss your personal goals, and cover any questions you may have.

Additionally, Dr. Ghozland will order a curated panel of lab tests to help customize your treatment. These labs can be conveniently drawn in the office during your initial appointment.

Step 2: The Treatment Process

Hormone treatment at the Intimate Health Center is customized based on your hormone panel and clinical symptoms. We administer these hormones via creams or pellets.

Dr. Ghozland will create a personalized plan based on your lab results, symptoms, preferences, comfort level, and your body’s response to treatment. 

Step 3: Continued Care and Follow-up

Hormone therapy requires follow-ups for safety and to ensure your personal goals are met. 

After your initial hormone treatment, we typically recommend a repeat hormone panel to reassess your hormone levels. This helps us ensure we’ve achieved your treatment goals and gives us an opportunity to see how you’re feeling and answer any questions. 

Hormone Therapy for Perimenopause and Menopause

Perimenopause can begin years before menopause, often bringing subtle but disruptive symptoms like irregular cycles, mood swings, and fatigue. As menopause progresses, symptoms may intensify, affecting sleep, metabolism, and your overall quality of life.

Bioidentical hormone therapy helps regulate these fluctuations, providing stability where your body once felt unpredictable. Many women experience not just symptom relief, but a renewed sense of balance, control, and confidence. They often report feeling reawakened, like a new person full of vitality, energy, and drive.

Benefits of Testosterone Therapy in Men

Like estrogen and progesterone in women, testosterone in men declines with age. When that decline shows up as persistent fatigue, a flatter mood, or a lower libido, it’s worth exploring whether there’s an underlying hormonal change involved. 

Benefits of treating low testosterone include:

• Restored sex drive and sexual interest
• Increased energy and motivation
• Improved mood 
• Increased lean muscle mass and strength
• Reduced body fat
• Improved bone mineral density

What Patients Say About Hormone Treatment at the Intimate Health Center

“Dr. Ghozland is the best gynecologist I’ve ever been to. For years, I dealt with hot flashes and weight gain no matter how carefully I ate or how hard I trained, and every doctor before him ran the standard hormone panel, told me I was in the ‘normal’ range, and sent me on my way. Dr. Ghozland was the first one who understood that normal on a chart doesn’t mean normal for me—that hormone levels are individual. He actually listened and took my concerns seriously, which I’d never experienced before. His staff are just as kind, helpful, and informed.” —Shalin

“My menopause symptoms started early and hit all at once—hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, painful sex, vaginal dryness. I thought I was depressed or losing my mind because my emotions were everywhere, but it was my hormones the whole time. Dr. Ghozland got me back to feeling like myself with hormone pellets, and the O-Shot helped with the dryness and made a real difference in the bedroom too. I’m so grateful to him and his team—they’ve made this stage of life so much easier to move through.” —Marian

“When my hormones started declining, Dr. Ghozland’s bioidentical hormone therapy kept me feeling steady while friends my age struggled with night sweats and fatigue. About a year ago I needed a hysterectomy, and that’s when I saw what a skilled surgeon he is. He walked my husband and me through every decision until I felt completely confident. My biggest fear was scarring—he used a robotic technique done entirely through the belly button, and I have two half-inch scars that are barely visible. I couldn’t be happier.” —Doreen
