We give a lot of attention to menopause, and for good reason. This transitional life stage that women experience is characterized by hot flashes, mood swings, and loss of libido—among many other symptoms.
But what about perimenopause, the period before menopause? Beginning as early as your mid-30s, your hormone levels, like estrogen and progesterone, decline, and those unwanted symptoms begin.
Instead of enduring the uncomfortable symptoms associated with perimenopause, you can address the root cause with hormone replacement therapy for perimenopause.
In Fort Lauderdale, our team at Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine offers this science-backed solution to alleviate perimenopausal symptoms and improve your overall health.

Hormone Replacement Therapy: Restoring Balance
Far too often, medical professionals dismiss women’s and men’s experiences with declining sex hormone levels, claiming that it is a normal part of aging. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) replenishes your body with the hormones it needs to function optimally. This includes:
- Estrogen
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
As your body navigates perimenopause, the production of essential hormones, particularly estrogen, gradually declines. This leaves you with symptoms that affect both your physical and mental health.
Estrogen Replacement
Estrogen is known as a reproductive hormone, but it’s not always given credit for the other bodily processes it helps regulate. Estrogen contributes to:
- Cholesterol for heart health
- Collagen production for skin health
- Brain function for mental clarity
- Neurotransmitter synthesis for stable moods
- Bone and muscle mass for strength
When your estrogen levels decline, it impacts bone health, skin health, mental health, and even more. HRT includes estrogen replacement to restore a more balanced state. Often, this can lead to improvements in sleep quality, a reduction of hot flashes, and a renewed sense of well-being. It’s a complex, personalized treatment, always best discussed with a board-certified physician, like any members of our team.
