Hormone therapy involves replacing hormones that your body is no longer adequately producing. It can provide a variety of physical and mental health benefits when done under proper medical supervision. Some reasons people pursue hormone replacement therapy include:
Symptom relief: Balancing hormones can alleviate symptoms like fatigue, bone or muscle loss, mood changes, low libido, and hot flashes.
Improved quality of life: Regulated hormone levels improve sleep, mental clarity, sex drive, energy, and an overall sense of wellbeing.
Disease prevention: Optimizing hormone levels may reduce risks for some conditions like osteoporosis, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Slowed aging: Maintaining youthful hormone levels can promote vitality and slow physical and cognitive declines related to aging.
Weight control: Proper hormone balance can help control appetite and make weight management easier.
Self-image and confidence: For some, correcting hormone deficiencies can greatly improve self-esteem and social confidence related to physical changes.
There are a few key hormones that tend to decline with age, leading to undesirable effects that hormone therapy may help counteract:
Testosterone levels naturally decline about 1 percent per year after age 30 in men. Low testosterone can contribute to issues like:
Hormone therapy such as testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can effectively relieve these symptoms and help men regain optimal physical and mental health.
Women undergo a major drop in estrogen during the transition to menopause, typically in their 40s or 50s. Symptoms related to low estrogen levels may include:
Estrogen therapy through systemic or local treatments can provide great relief of these disruptive menopausal symptoms.
An underperforming thyroid gland leads to a slowing metabolism and symptoms like unexplained weight gain, fatigue, muscle weakness, hair loss, cold sensitivity, constipation and even depression. Left untreated, low thyroid function can increase risks of high cholesterol and subsequent cardiovascular disease.
Levothyroxine (synthetic thyroid hormone) supplementation can reverse low thyroid symptoms, regulate metabolism and cholesterol, and help patients feel their best.
The first step is getting the right diagnostic hormone tests, usually a simple blood draw. Based on your test results and risk factors, your hrt doctor will determine if hormone therapy is indicated and help you understand all the available options.
There are some general treatment approaches that a clinic like New Beginnings HRT Clinic offers:
The route of administration, dosing, timing, use of other medications, and more details will need to be continually evaluated and tailored to each individual patient for optimal safety and efficacy. An experienced hrt endocrinologist will design a personalized plan just for you.
Ongoing doctor visits, lab testing, and monitoring will help achieve long-lasting hormone regulation and relief of deficiency symptoms. Keeping an open dialogue with your doctor will ensure your treatment protocol is working as intended.
The negative effects of hormone imbalance tend to worsen gradually over time. This can lead some people to assume symptoms like sexual dysfunction, unexplained weight gain, constant fatigue and mood problems are just an unavoidable effect of aging. But recognizing and properly treating hormone deficiencies through replacement therapy can restore energy levels, metabolic function and an overall sense of wellbeing.
By accurately diagnosing hormone imbalances early, hormone therapy interventions can help patients regain optimal physical and mental health, avoid age-related diseases, and substantially improve quality of life. Implementing treatment in a timely manner prevents symptoms from spiraling out of control. Combining hormone therapy with positive lifestyle changes like proper sleep, nutrition, exercise and stress reduction can also maximize results.
