Hormonal fluctuations can lead to various physical and mental symptoms throughout different stages of a woman's life. Whether experiencing PMS, menopause, or other hormonal imbalances, many women report symptoms such as:
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Fatigue and mood swings
- Weight gain and fluid retention
- Reduced concentration and 'brain fog'
- Reduced libido and vaginal dryness
- Sleep problems and stress sensitivity
At IKARIA Clinics, we understand that hormone balance is crucial for overall well-being and vitality. We offer a personalised medical approach to support your hormonal health and alleviate these symptoms.
Identifying the Causes of Hormonal Complaints
Our process begins with a comprehensive blood test to assess your hormonal health and identify deficiencies.
Personalised treatment plan
Based on the test results, we draw up a customised treatment plan, which may include:
- Lifestyle interventions
- Hormonal balance is strongly influenced by diet, exercise and stress management.
- Nutritional advice to support blood glucose and estrogen balance.
- Exercise and strength training to maintain muscle mass and boost metabolism.
- Sleep optimisation and stress reduction through cortisol management and relaxation techniques.
Hormone therapy & supplements
If necessary, hormone therapy can be an effective solution. This may include:
- Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) - A natural form of hormone supplementation for oestrogen and progesterone.
- DHEA supplements - Help with fatigue and mood swings.
- Magnesium, vitamin B6 and omega-3 fatty acids are essential for hormone stability.
Follow-up and monitoring
Since hormone levels constantly change, we schedule a follow-up consultation after three months to monitor your progress. If needed, we'll adjust your treatment plan to ensure optimal results.
