Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone replacement therapy at Presence Medical Care is personalized and coordinated with experienced national providers. Options include estradiol therapy for women with appropriate menopause-related needs and testosterone therapy for men with clinically confirmed deficiency. Assessment, informed discussion, and monitoring come before treatment. Not every symptom is hormonal, and hormone therapy is not suitable for everyone.

What is estradiol therapy for women?
Estradiol is a form of estrogen used to treat certain menopause-related symptoms, such as hot flashes or vaginal discomfort. Local and systemic treatments have different uses and risks. Your symptoms, health history, and preferences help guide the discussion; systemic estrogen generally requires a progestogen if you have a uterus.
When is testosterone therapy considered for men?
Testosterone therapy may be considered when compatible symptoms and appropriately confirmed low levels support a diagnosis. Fatigue or reduced libido alone is not enough. Evaluation also considers other causes, fertility goals, and health risks before deciding whether treatment is appropriate.
How does coordinated care work?
Melissa House, a Board-Certified Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP / APRN-CNP), helps connect hormone concerns with your overall primary care. Presence coordinates hormone therapy with experienced national providers. Call to discuss the pathway, who manages prescribing and monitoring, and which visit arrangements apply to you.
What should I know about risks and monitoring?
Risks depend on the medicine, route, dose, and your health history. Estrogen treatment can involve clotting and other risks; testosterone can affect red blood cell counts and suppress sperm production. Appropriate assessment, laboratory monitoring, and follow-up are important. Treatment should be reviewed as symptoms and health needs change.
Are there alternatives to hormone therapy?
Yes. Depending on your symptoms and their cause, non-hormonal treatments or changes to an existing care plan may be more appropriate. The goal is a choice you understand, not automatic hormone prescribing. Discuss availability and costs with Presence before starting.
