Reproductive Hormone Conditions

Reproductive Hormone Conditions

Female hormone imbalances occur at multiple points in our lives. Puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, and times of extreme stress are the most common causes of hormone imbalance, but there are a lot of factors that can lead to whole-body health problems.

At PrimeHealth in Denver, our qualified healthcare providers evaluate all risk factors to address hormonal imbalances in women. Let us guide you toward optimal hormone balance to improve your quality of life. Schedule an appointment today.

Below, we’ll discuss how to treat reproductive hormone imbalance. If you’re looking to treat other types of hormone problems, check out our pages on Thyroid Conditions, Adrenal Conditions, or Cardiometabolic Disorders.

Hormonal imbalances and fertility issues are becoming increasingly common across the world. Many risk factors are to blame for hormone issues, including:

We treat the root cause of hormone imbalance.

Once the root cause is identified, we can work with you in follow-up appointments to reverse the imbalances and restore equilibrium to your hormone levels. For women, the main reproductive hormones are estrogen and progesterone. However, women also require lower levels of testosterone to remain in equilibrium. What is the best way to balance hormones in women? Thankfully, we can correct hormonal imbalances in women by addressing the underlying cause. Many hormone problems can be reversed with:

  • Dietary changes, such as fewer inflammatory foods
  • Lifestyle changes, such as increased exercise
  • Mind-body-spirit exercises, such as meditation
  • Herbal supplements, such as chasteberry
  • Medication protocols, such as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT/bHRT)
  • Alternative therapies, such as acupuncture

We respect that every person is different, so we work with you to formulate the best wellness plan for your unique  situation. Check out PrimeHealth’s IV Therapy plans.

Struggling with infertility?

If you’re struggling with infertility, we can help. At PrimeHealth, we will identify the underlying causes of hormonal imbalance that are making it difficult to conceive. Once we identify risk factors unique to your individual circumstances, we address those risk factors. No unnecessary medication, no blanket statements that we tell every patient. We treat your specific case with respect and a fresh perspective. In our years of experience, we have found that common causes of female infertility include:
  • Older age
  • Chronic stress
  • Major hormone imbalance
  • Toxin exposure 
  • Inflammation and oxidative stress
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Tobacco use
  • Drug use
  • Being overweight
  • Being underweight
  • Previous injury or trauma
  • Certain medications
  • Genetic factors

It’s important to remember that male infertility may also prevent pregnancy from occurring. We also work with men who were experiencing hormone imbalances.

“I entered as just diagnosed with Hashimotos and levels over 2,000 to now being almost in remission. I am no longer Vitamin D and B deficient. No longer have brain fog, joint pain, insomnia, imbalanced hormones, and so on and so on. I feel the best I have felt in almost 10 years.”

“I discovered Dr. Rafatjah after being frustrated and confused on how to manage my hashimoto’s thyroid disease, perimenopause, and adrenal fatigue – my previous endocrinologist, gynecologist, and general internist were not on the same page.
