A first indication is that you’re experiencing the symptoms that point toward hormone deficiencies—especially if you’re 40 years old or older.

About Hormone Replacement Therapy in Lexington, KY
Time-Release Pellets for Full Relief from Symptoms
All it takes is a small pellet, roughly the size of a grain of rice, inserted just under the skin in an out-of-sight area. This will release a consistent source of hormones 24/7, formulated to balance your specific needs.
HRT for Menopause-related Symptoms
Press Pause on Menopause
Here's a newsflash for your hot flashes: hormone replacement therapy can soften the impact of menopause on your mental and physical health. By balancing your hormone levels—which can include estrogen, progestin, and testosterone—you can reduce or even eliminate many of menopause's distressing symptoms. Get better sleep, stop the out-of-control emotional rollercoaster, and keep the physical impact in check with our customizable hormone replacement therapy.
Blow Away Brain Fog with HRT
Get Your Head Back in the Game
Ever feel a bit foggy or forgetful, especially as you get older? This can be due to hormonal changes during menopause and andropause, affecting both women and men. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) helps steady fluctuating hormone levels, which affect brain chemicals. HRT can enhance neurotransmitter activity, leading to clearer thinking and improved memory. It's like hitting the reset button on your mental clarity and focus!
HRT Helps With Hormone-Related Osteoporosis
Put Bones Back in the Zone
The damage caused by hormone imbalance can run deep. In particular, a decline in estrogen and testosterone as you age contributes to osteoporosis. This hormone loss reduces bone density and weakens skeletal structures. By choosing hormone replacement therapy in Lexington, KY, you can replenish the missing hormones to promote improved bone density, thereby reducing the risk of fractures and alleviating osteoporosis symptoms.
What to Expect
The Hormone Replacement Therapy Process
Consultation
HRT starts with a one-on-one consultation. This honest and open discussion about your concerns and your goals for treatment helps us truly understand what you want and what you need. We’ll also take blood samples and test them to get a baseline for your current hormone levels.
Treatment
During your hormone replacement therapy in Lexington, KY, your Lexington Prime provider will numb your skin, normally in your hip area, and make a small incision. The HRT pellet will be inserted, and the incision closed either with a minimal 1 to 2 stitches, with sterile butterfly bandages, or a combination of both.
Aftercare
Your HRT pellets are designed to dissolve over the course of treatment. How long is this period? Every client is different, and there’s a difference between men and women. The pellets generally last 3 to 5 months in women, and 4 to 6 months in men. With proper care, the incision site should heal in 14 to 21 days.
Maintenance
Your hormone replacement therapy will include consistent monitoring of your issues, along with blood tests, to ensure balance is being achieved and maintained. We will also discuss lifestyle choices and possible changes you may need to make to get the best results from your HRT.

Hormone Replacement Therapy FAQs
Because we’re making adjustments to your body’s systems, the amount of time it takes to experience results will depend on your unique metabolism and specific issues. For most of our Lexington Prime clients, we begin to see the positive effects of their hormone replacement therapy after several weeks, with full results setting in after roughly 3 months.
Keep in mind that HRT isn’t a short-term solution. Hormone imbalance—especially when caused by aging—can be a longer-term therapeutic commitment, helping you to address the symptoms of whatever is causing the imbalance as your body adjusts to a new, natural “normal.”
You may not be a good candidate for HRT if you suffer or have suffered from the following:
- Blood clots
- Cancer
- Heart disease
- Heart attacks
- Stroke
- Liver disease
- Hypertension
- Diabetes
Additionally, pregnant or breastfeeding women do not make suitable candidates for hormone replacement therapy.
You may experience some side effects with HRT. This greatly depends on which hormones you’re using, your sex, and your unique body’s response.
Many of our clients experience some side effects in the first few months of hormone replacement therapy as their bodies get reacquainted with these re-balanced hormone levels. You may feel none, some, or most of the following:
- Slight nausea
- Skin irritation
- Irregular menstrual bleeding
- Weight gain
- Moodiness
- Small increase in the risk of blood clots
- Leg cramps
- Headaches
- Breast tenderness
- Hair loss
Although this sounds more like a list of issues you were trying to solve in the first place, these possible side effects usually go away after a few weeks. Your Lexington Prime provider will make sure you’re aware of all risks, and help you have realistic expectations for results.
