Hillsboro Beach FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Can I do all appointments via telehealth?
After an initial evaluation (which we recommend in-person for the most thorough assessment), most follow-up appointments can be conducted via our secure telehealth platform.
How do you ensure privacy?
All appointments and records are HIPAA-compliant. Telehealth sessions use encrypted video, and we never share patient information without explicit consent.
