Considering Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): What to Expect at Your First Consultation

Choosing to begin Hormone Replacement Therapy is a meaningful step toward improving your well-being, particularly if you’re dealing with symptoms related to hormonal imbalances. Knowing what to expect during your initial consultation can ease any nervousness and help you feel more prepared. Here's a breakdown of what typically happens during that first visit.


Getting Ready for Your HRT Appointment


Before we meet, it’s helpful to gather some key information to make your consultation as effective as possible:

  • Your Medical Background: Be prepared to share details about any chronic conditions, surgeries, or past health concerns.
     
  • Current Medications: Make a list of all medications and supplements you're taking.
     
  • Your Symptoms: Write down any symptoms you’ve been experiencing, how often they occur, and how they’re affecting your life.

     

What Happens During the Consultation

Full Health Evaluation 

Your visit will begin by reviewing your medical history and asking about your symptoms in detail. This helps them get a clear picture of your overall health and specific hormonal concerns.


Symptom Discussion

This is your chance to openly discuss how you're feeling. The more detailed you can be about your symptoms, the better I can tailor your treatment plan.


Diagnostic Testing

Blood tests are commonly ordered to measure hormone levels and assess your current hormonal balance. Depending on your health history, additional tests—such as bone density scans or heart health evaluations—might also be recommended.


Reviewing Your Results

Once your test results come in, we will go through them together, explaining what they mean and how they relate to the symptoms you've described.


Creating Your Treatment Plan

Based on your evaluation,  a customized HRT plan will be tailored to your needs. This plan may include:

  • The specific hormones recommended (e.g., estrogen, progesterone, testosterone)
  •  The delivery method (such as pills, patches, creams, gels, or injections)
  •  The appropriate dosage for your   body and goals
     

Understanding the Pros and Cons

You’ll also learn about the potential benefits of HRT—like symptom relief and improved daily functioning—as well as the possible side effects or risks. This helps ensure you’re making a well-informed decision.


Lifestyle and Wellness Guidance

To support your treatment, recommendations regarding healthy lifestyle changes, including adjustments to your diet, exercise habits, and stress management techniques and supplements will be discussed. 


Q&A Time

At the end of the appointment, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions—big or small. It’s important that you feel confident and informed about your care.


What to Expect After the Appointment

Follow-Up Visits

You’ll have regular check-ins to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. These visits are key to ensuring your HRT remains effective and safe. Typically initial consultation and follow up visits are every 3 months. 


Open Communication

Keep in touch during your journey, especially if you notice new symptoms or side effects. Ongoing communication helps address concerns early and keeps your treatment on track.


Sticking to the Plan

Consistency is Key and will help you get the most benefit from your therapy.

Starting HRT is a collaborative and empowering process. Understanding what to expect during your first consultation can help you take that step with confidence. Ready to get started? Book a consultation with our team and take your first step towards a healthier, happier YOU!
