What Kind of Doctor Prescribes Female Hormones?
The Real Experts Revealed | Dr. Ahmet Ergin, MD | Treasure Coast FL
Q: What Kind of Doctor Prescribes Female Hormones?
A: The best doctor to prescribe female hormones is a board-certified endocrinologist—especially one with expertise in functional and bioidentical hormone therapy.
While multiple providers—including OB/GYNs, primary care doctors, and even some anti-aging clinics—can legally prescribe hormones, only endocrinologists are medically trained from the ground up in the body’s complex hormone systems.
Here’s why that matters:
Hormones don’t operate in isolation. An imbalance in estrogen could stem from your thyroid, adrenals, or insulin resistance. An OB/GYN might treat symptoms. An endocrinologist like Dr. Ahmet Ergin treats the entire system.
Most conventional doctors are using outdated tools—synthetic hormones, standard doses, and generic advice. Endocrinologists like Dr. Ergin use advanced diagnostics, bioidentical hormones, and personalized plans to help you feel like yourself again.
If your symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, low libido, mood swings, or stubborn weight gain, you’re not just dealing with low estrogen—you’re dealing with a full hormonal cascade. And that’s where an endocrinologist excels.
Q: What doctors can prescribe hormones—and who should?
A: Several types can, but only one type is truly trained to do it right—an Endocrinologist.

Q: Aren’t OB/GYNs hormone doctors?
A: They dabble in hormones—but they are NOT hormone specialists.
Here’s the hard truth:
Most OB/GYNs are phenomenal at helping women through pregnancy, pap smears, and surgeries.
But when it comes to deep hormonal dysfunction—thyroid imbalances, adrenal burnout, estrogen dominance, progesterone deficiency, low testosterone—they’re flying blind.

Q: What is BHRT—and why does it matter?
A: BHRT stands for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. It’s a modern, safer, more personalized way to replace the hormones your body no longer produces.
Most conventional doctors (especially OB/GYNs) are still using:
Premarin (horse estrogen)
Progestins (synthetic, not natural)
Birth control pills (terrible for menopause and hormone imbalance)
“Standard dose” patches and pills (not tailored)
