A provider reviews your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle habits, checks vital signs, completes a physical exam, and may order blood, urine, or saliva tests to assess hormone levels. Treatment options may include pills, patches, implants, injections, creams, gels, or vaginal applications. Subdermal pellets may be inserted beneath the skin near the upper buttocks and replaced as needed. Hormone levels are monitored over time and the treatment plan is adjusted when needed. Therapy is often long term.
