At Fortier Gynecology, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is provided with a thoughtful, personalized, and medically sound approach. Hormonal changes can affect energy levels, mood, sleep, metabolism, sexual health, and overall quality of life. Our goal is to help patients feel balanced, healthy, and like themselves again through safe and carefully monitored hormone therapy.
Hormone Replacement Therapy is commonly used to treat symptoms related to menopause, perimenopause, and andropause, as well as other hormone imbalances. Symptoms may include hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, weight gain, low libido, and sleep disruption. We begin with a comprehensive medical evaluation and laboratory testing to understand your hormone levels and how they relate to your symptoms.
Every HRT plan at Fortier Gynecology is individualized. Treatment options are based on medical history, symptoms, lab results, and personal goals. Hormone therapy is carefully prescribed and monitored to ensure safety and effectiveness, with adjustments made as your body responds. Our focus is on restoring balance while prioritizing long-term health and well-being.
Unlike large, corporate practices, our intentionally small and personalized setting allows time for listening and education. We believe patients should fully understand their treatment options and feel confident in their care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone Replacement Therapy involves replacing hormones that the body is no longer producing at optimal levels. This may include estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone, depending on individual needs. HRT is used to relieve symptoms caused by hormonal imbalance and is carefully prescribed and monitored by a medical provider.
Is Hormone Replacement Therapy safe?
When properly prescribed and monitored, Hormone Replacement Therapy is safe for many patients. Before starting treatment, we review medical history, risk factors, and lab work to determine appropriateness. Ongoing follow-up ensures therapy remains safe and effective over time.
How long does it take to feel results from HRT?
Many patients begin to notice improvements in energy, sleep, mood, and symptoms within a few weeks, though full benefits may take several months. Response varies by individual, and treatment plans are adjusted as needed to achieve the best outcome.
