Are you feeling overwhelmed by the symptoms of menopause? You’re not alone. Many women feel this way during menopause, and it can make dealing with everyday life difficult. But there is help. Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT for women, can bring hormones back into balance and help you feel more like yourself again. You deserve relief from your symptoms. That’s why SandsRx compounding pharmacies offers HRT for women that is tailored specifically for you. With natural hormone replacement therapy, hormones are customized to the needs of each patient, so you can be sure that you’re getting the best possible care. You won’t find a better solution for hormone imbalance than natural hormone replacement therapy and HRT from a qualified doctor.
When seeking HRT for women the goal is to restore and maintain hormone balance with hormones that have similar chemical structures to the hormones produced by the human body. Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy and HRT for women involves the use of natural, plant-derived hormones to aid in this process. These hormones that occur naturally in the body cannot be patented and manufacturers lack the financial incentive to commercially market these substances.
More and more U.S. physicians are becoming aware of these natural hormones, but European physicians have been prescribing them for many years. With the care of a trusted compounding pharmacy like SandsRx, these hormones can be custom compounded to match each patient’s individual needs and body chemistry, instead of the “one size fits all” approach used with off-the-shelf hormones.
Natural hormone replacement therapy and HRT for women requires appropriate testing, examination, and discussion of symptoms with a healthcare practitioner. As a leading compounding pharmacy that specializes in HRT for women throughout the state of Texas, we can help you find a practitioner who has the experience you need. We have compounding pharmacies in Wylie, Frisco, and McKinney, TX but we serve patients throughout Texas and the United States.
At SandsRx compounding pharmacies, we can compound NATURAL PLANT-DERIVED HORMONES as an option for women who need hormone replacement therapy. Since plant-derived natural hormones are biologically similar to the hormones that a woman’s body produced when she was younger, the woman’s body can potentially regain its natural balance.
The possible benefit of HRT for women is that it can be adapted to supplement your already existing hormone levels. You are your own unique individual. Why not have your own individualized natural hormone replacement therapy customized to meet your unique needs?
Our Compounding Pharmacists in Dallas-Ft Worth, TX work very closely with physicians so that a woman can start and maintain a hormone regimen that closely mimics what her body has been doing naturally for years.

All Compounded hormone therapies are customized in the strength and dosage forms that are unique to your INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy for women offers many potential benefits. A woman should discuss these newly available alternatives with her physician and ask important questions in order to decide which therapy might be most beneficial in meeting her unique needs.
One of the primary benefits of HRT for women is improved libido. Our trained skilled and compassionate compounding pharmacists are trained to assist women with this sensitive issue.

PMS affects close to 70% of all women in their reproductive years. It is characterized by symptoms that usually occur during the 7 to 10 days before menses, the most common being:
There are many theories on what causes PMS including things like poor nutrition, low levels of progesterone and/or the estrogen hormones, and thyroid disease. Ideally, a healthcare practitioner will conduct a complete physical examination and full medical history to eliminate other conditions such as endometriosis or ovarian cysts. Keeping track of a patient’s menstrual symptoms and how they correlate with their menstrual cycle helps to differentiate PMS from other medical conditions.
PMS treatment options often require multiple solutions, including Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), dietary changes, and other lifestyle modifications.
Infertility is the inability to conceive a child and could be due to many different factors. One cause of infertility is luteal phase defect. This is inadequate progesterone production during the luteal phase of the cycle. Progesterone prepares the uterine wall for the implantation of a fertilized egg and supports the egg throughout a full-term pregnancy. Research indicates that natural progesterone can potentially help raise the body’s progesterone level and help women to conceive and carry a full-term pregnancy. When progesterone is low, there may be inadequate support for the fertilized egg which can result in a miscarriage.
Postpartum depression (PPD) can often occur after the birth of a child. PPD is characterized by frequent teariness or more extreme feelings of being unable to cope, rage, or the mother’s fear that she may hurt herself or her baby. These feelings can occur anytime within the first year following childbirth. PPD has different levels of severity ranging from the “baby blues'' to psychosis. Having the “baby blues” is characterized as a short period of anxiety and weepiness due to the shift in hormones immediately after birth. In the most severe case of PPD psychosis, mothers can experience extreme rage, severe depression, and delusions.
The treatment for these women may include a complete assessment of the individual’s needs, including specific lab evaluations, psychiatric assessment, education, therapy, support, and medications, including natural hormones, as needed.
Menopause is a gradual, natural life transition from the reproductive years to the post-reproductive years. Some women pass through this stage with few symptoms, while others may find the symptoms debilitating. Symptoms may begin during perimenopause, the time prior to or around menopause, which is officially diagnosed only after the final menstrual period. The most common symptoms include:
As women age, the ovaries begin to decrease production of estrogens and progesterone, the menstrual cycles become more irregular. Eventually, ovulation and menstruation ceases and production of estrogens and progesterone declines dramatically. This process can last anywhere from 2 to 10 years.
During this transition, treatment may vary greatly, depending on the severity and duration of symptoms. Options typically include combinations of herbal and non-herbal remedies, dietary changes, exercise, yoga, meditation, and hormone replacement therapy (Natural or conventional hormone supplements).
Menopause can also be artificially induced if one or both ovaries is impaired or removed (oophorectomy), or as a result of chemotherapy or radiation to the pelvic area.
At some point in their lives, many women experience a loss of interest or pleasure in sexual activity. Female sexual dysfunction occurs if these problems recur or persist to the extent that they cause distress.
There are many causes of sexual dysfunction and most are readily treatable. A thorough pelvic exam will reveal if there are physical changes that may be affecting sexual pleasure. Hormonal shifts, like those occurring after pregnancy and during menopause, can also lead to sexual dysfunction. While the role of estrogens is well known, imbalances in thyroid hormone, progesterone and testosterone can also affect sexual function.
Other causes include health conditions such as sleep apnea, diabetes, and depression. Also, many common medications dampen sexual response, including antidepressants and blood pressure drugs. Symptoms may include:
Treatments typically target the known or suspected cause of the sexual dysfunction, and include natural hormone therapy, medication changes, lifestyle modifications, sexual therapy, relaxation techniques and pelvic exercises.
Even though a woman’s “normal” amount of testosterone is only a minute fraction of that of a man’s, it is still vital for both sexes. Aside from its obvious roles in sexuality, testosterone is also essential for maintaining strong muscles and bones, and is important to cardiovascular health.
As we age, testosterone levels diminish, which can be particularly problematic for women because it is far less abundant to begin with. Common signs of a potential testosterone deficiency include:
Women typically begin to experience these symptoms after menopause, as their hormone levels decline. However, pre-menopausal women can also be deficient in testosterone due to childbirth, endometriosis, or substance abuse. Even some medications, such as birth control pills, chemotherapy, and antidepressants, can interfere with the body’s ability to make use of the testosterone available.
Testosterone replacement therapy requires careful testing and monitoring because it typically involves other hormones as well. Natural testosterone supplements are available as custom-compounded therapies in capsules, tablets, lozenges, injections, creams, gels and other forms.
Osteoporosis is a progressive disease of the skeletal system in which bone density decreases and bone structure deteriorates. Eventually, bones become so brittle and porous that they can fracture from even mild stress. There are no tests to measure bone quality, so osteoporosis is diagnosed by measuring bone mineral density, usually through x-rays of the hip or spine.
While some illnesses and medications (especially corticosteroids) can cause bone loss, most people develop osteoporosis as a result of the aging process. In women, bone loss accelerates with menopause due to decreased production of estrogens and other hormones that contribute to bone health.
In early stages of osteoporosis, there are no symptoms. As bones become weaker, symptoms may begin to appear, including:
As its name implies, chronic fatigue syndrome is a condition characterized by persistent, debilitating fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest, and may worsen with physical or mental exertion. Women are two to four times more likely to develop this condition, which can persist for years.
Symptoms typically start after an infection, viral illness, or stressful event. However, the syndrome can begin gradually without any obvious trigger.
Diagnosis is made only after all other causes of severe fatigue are ruled out, and if four or more of the following symptoms persist or recur for at least six months in a row:
Although there is no cure for chronic fatigue syndrome, treatments that may help relieve symptoms includes exercise, massage, diet and lifestyle changes, counseling to address depression, antidepressants, pain relievers and natural hormone therapies.
Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrial tissue normally found inside the uterus is found outside the uterus. These cells then implant themselves onto other organs in the pelvic area, where they grow and cause pain, infertility, and other problems. There are various treatments for endometriosis. Depending on the severity of the condition, where the endometriosis is located, and the age of the individual, treatment may include surgery, medications and natural hormone replacement therapy, as needed.
Andropause, more commonly referred to as “Male Menopause,” is the gradual, age-related decline of hormonal function in men. The most dominant of the male hormones (or androgens) is testosterone, which plays a key role in many aspects of overall health. The androgens also include dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), androstenedione, and other hormones.
With the decline in testosterone and other androgens, men typically begin to notice changes around the age of 40, including but not limited to:
Treatment of andropausal symptoms often includes different combinations of herbal and non-herbal remedies, an exercise regimen, dietary changes, and/or Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid is under active. There are various symptoms of low thyroid function with the most common being:
The treatment may include HRT, nutritional supplementation, and changes in diet and lifestyle.
Hypoadrenalism is low production of hormones from the adrenal glands or an imbalance among these hormones. The steroidal hormones primarily produced by the adrenal glands are cortisol (hydrocortisone) and DHEA. Some causes of hypoadrenalism could be immune system damage to the adrenal gland, or an insufficient amount of stimulation by pituitary hormones. Some of the more common symptoms associated with hypoadrenalism include:
A health practitioner may take a complete history, thorough physical examination, and lab tests to rule out other medical imbalances or conditions. Treatment for hypoadrenalism may include diet, nutrition, education, and HRT.
