I want to share some feedback on my experience so far. Winona has been very responsive and accessible, which I truly appreciate. The hot flashes have decreased tremendously, and that has made a significant positive difference for me. Unfortunately, I have experienced substantial weight gain during this time. I am continuing to work on staying consistent with my treatment and remain focused on achieving my desired results.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad to hear that our team has been responsive and that your hot flashes have improved so significantly. We also understand your concern about the weight gain, and we appreciate you staying consistent and focused on your treatment. It's worth noting that while your body adjusts to the HRT, it is not uncommon to experience bloating and water weight gain. However, it's important to note that weight gain is not directly linked to HRT. In fact, studies suggest that the use of HRT is associated with less weight gain and potential beneficial effects on muscle mass over time. Everyone’s response can be different, and your Winona doctor can help review this with you to see if any adjustments may be helpful. You may also reach out to our patient care team if you need additional assistance at [email protected] We’re here to support you every step of the way. :)
