Frequently Asked Questions
If I do exercises, do I really need hormone therapy?▾
Exercise is essential but often insufficient alone. Exercise manages symptoms while hormones address root causes. Many women need both for complete relief. Testing and individual assessment guide the right approach for you.
Is BHRT safe for hip pain management?▾
Bioidentical hormone therapy, when properly dosed and monitored, is safe and effective. It reverses hormonal deficiency rather than adding excess hormones. Regular testing ensures appropriate dosing.
How quickly does hormone therapy help hip pain?▾
Initial symptom improvement often appears within 2-4 weeks as inflammation decreases. Meaningful functional improvement typically requires 6-8 weeks as cartilage and tissue quality gradually improve.
