Hormonal Health

We are dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of women with hormone problems such as (but not limited to) PMS and other menstrual cycle problems, female hair loss (alopecia) or unwanted hair, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), low sex drive and various sexual problems, female acne, hedaches, etc. Dr. Hunter's specialty is menopause.

We provide a relaxed and private setting for consultation regarding these conditions, and offer individual attention. We use lab services as needed; for patients coming from a distance, tests can be arranged closer to home. More importantly, we have our own compounding pharmacy onsite where you can receive individualized medications.


Hormonal Health

A variety of ailments such as diabetes, for example, can affect sexual responsiveness. Therefore, the first step in dealing with a sexual problem is to get a medical evaluation. A woman's vagina and surrounding tissues absorb considerable impact during intercourse which may account for conditions in the pelvic area that can make intercourse uncomfortable. If pain is a part of the problem, a gynecological exam is the first step.

Hormones are often involved when there has been a relatively sudden loss of interest. Sometimes this happens after hysterectomy with removal of the ovaries since they produce testosterone. Often, a woman's sex drive is restored when she is given testosterone. Our practice is well equipped to address various aspects of hormonal deficiency and treat them with the use of our techniques and own compounding pharmacy specializing in Bioidentical Hormonal Replacement Therapy.

For this reason, BHRT is widely used and in some cases is the only alternative available for prescription by physicians. These are typical conditions addressed by BHRT:
