There are many conditions unique to women which are caused by hormone imbalances.  These hormones, namely progesterone and estrogen fluctuate throughout the month and also go through transitions during puberty and menopause. Symptoms that often arise during these times are indications of imbalances which require special attention.     

Some common female related health issues treated at Naturopathic Foundations Health Clinic include:

 Menstrual irregularities

 Premenstrual syndrome

 Painful menses and heavy menses

 Hot flushes

 Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

 Fibroids

 Hormonal Acne

 Infertility

 Recurrent yeast infections

 Cervical dysplasia

Numerous factors can impact hormone balance including diet, environmental toxins, lifestyle and stress. Common laboratory tests used to assess hormone balance and possible causes include: 

 Urine Hormone test such as the CHI and Dutch Test

 Blood Hormone panels

 Saliva Female Hormone panels

 Saliva Adrenal panel

 Food sensitivity testing

 Heavy metal testing

Through individualized assessments which include thorough history and appropriate laboratory testing, we can identify areas of hormonal imbalance and offer treatment options.
