Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can provide relief for those experiencing hormonal imbalance or deficiency. At Renew Medical Clinic in Montgomery, our experienced doctors offer customized HRT to help patients restore hormonal balance and improve wellbeing. Keep reading to learn the basics of HRT and the many benefits it offers.
The major hormones that can become deficient, leading to unpleasant symptoms, include:
Estrogen levels naturally decline in women during perimenopause and menopause. Low estrogen can cause hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, and thinning bones (osteoporosis).
Progesterone works together with estrogen during the menstrual cycle. Low progesterone leads to irregular periods, difficulty getting pregnant, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
Testosterone decreases in both men and women as they age. In men, low testosterone causes low libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass, and fatigue. In women, it contributes to low sex drive and energy.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a precursor hormone that declines with age. Low DHEA is linked to loss of libido, poor mood, joint pain, and weakened immunity.
An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) causes fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, constipation, and sensitivity to cold.
Customized HRT offers many benefits when hormones are restored to optimal levels, including:
