Hormone therapy, also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), involves administering hormones to treat deficiencies and imbalances. Hormone imbalances can negatively impact quality of life. Common symptoms include fatigue, low libido, hot flashes, night sweats, and more. Timely hormone therapy provides considerable benefits and relief.
Hormone levels naturally decline with age. Other potential causes for hormone deficiencies include:
Recognizing signs of hormone imbalance early and promptly seeking expert hormone therapy leads to better health outcomes. Delaying treatment allows symptoms to worsen and new health problems to emerge over time.
Early intervention with customized bioidentical hormone therapy under medical supervision can provide prompt relief. It also helps slow or prevent age-related diseases supported by optimal hormone levels.
Hormone therapy aims to restore optimal hormone levels through external administration of hormones. The most commonly replaced hormones include:
The method of administration depends on the specific hormone. Common options include oral medications, transdermal gels/patches, pellets, and injections.
Restoring hormone balance through medical therapy provides considerable benefits:
Comprehensive lab screening evaluates hormone levels and identifies deficiencies or imbalances requiring treatment. Screening also checks for underlying conditions.
The optimal hormone therapy regimen considers the patient's unique health profile and needs. The method of administration, dosages, timing, and duration are personalized for safety and efficacy.
Patients undergo follow-up screening at regular intervals. The treatment plan is adjusted over time to ensure continual balance and benefit. Monitoring also checks for potential side effects.
