Hormone Replacement Therapy at Harper Urology Center
Hormone Replacement Therapy in Columbus, GA
The Urology Center of Columbus specializes in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to help manage the symptoms of hormonal imbalances.

Is Hormone Replacement Therapy Right For You?
Hormone Replacement Therapy may be the right solution for you if you are experiencing severe hormonal imbalances that interfere with your daily life.

At Urology Center of Columbus, we offer a comprehensive evaluation to determine if HRT is the best treatment option for you.
How It Works
Your journey with Hormone Replacement Therapy begins with an initial consultation. Our specialists will assess your medical history, symptoms, and overall health, including a physical examination and lab tests. Based on your results, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan, which may include estrogen therapy, combination therapy, or bioidentical hormone pellets. We monitor your progress closely to ensure optimal results.
Why would I need hormone replacement therapy?
Your hormones control almost everything in your body, from your mood to your metabolism and your sex drive. While there are plenty of conditions that disrupt your hormonal balance, the most common hormonal issues stem from aging. For example, as women approach and reach menopause, they may experience a range of disruptive symptoms such as:
- Vaginal atrophy
- Painful intercourse
- Libido loss
- Weight gain
- Disrupted sleep
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Anxiety and depression
Menopause is better known, but men also suffer from age-related hormonal depletion. Andropause, as it is called, typically results in muscle mass loss, weight gain, mood disruptions, and a decreased sex drive.
What should I expect during hormone replacement therapy?
The doctors at Urology Center of Columbus start with a detailed consultation. They conduct extensive blood testing to measure your hormone levels. They also test for other conditions that contribute to your symptoms. The results of these blood tests help them decide your specific needs. They also find the medications needed to restore these levels to proper standards.
Throughout your treatment, you have frequent follow-up appointments. Your doctor monitors your symptoms and hormone levels to ensure your treatment is effective. They can adjust your treatment as necessary. Your body should respond to bioidentical hormone therapy within three months.
Is HRT covered by insurance?
Coverage varies, so it’s important to check with your insurance provider.
How soon will I see results?
Results varies, but many patients notice improvements within the first few weeks.
Can HRT help with weight loss?
While not directly a weight loss treatment, HRT can improve metabolism and energy levels, supporting better weight management.
