We understand bioidentical HRT can raise questions about what to expect locally. Here is some helpful information on enjoying your treatment to the fullest in the Labadieville area:
Labadieville’s hot and humid summers make hormone imbalance symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disturbances especially frustrating during this time of year. The cooler, less humid winter and fall seasons tend to be more comfortable times to start bioidentical HRT to optimize relief.
Staying properly hydrated and wearing breathable clothing can help manage symptoms year-round. Avoiding caffeine, alcohol and spicy foods is also recommended to reduce hot flashes. Wrapping a small ice pack in a paper towel and holding it against pulse points helps quickly cool the body during severe flushing episodes.
Our clinicians suggest considering adding testosterone or DHEA to your treatment plan before summer to support energy, endurance and immunity during the heat.
