Restoring Balance, Enhancing Wellbeing
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment designed to supplement or restore hormone levels in men and women whose natural production has declined due to aging, medical conditions, or hormonal imbalances. HRT can significantly improve quality of life by addressing symptoms associated with low hormone levels.
HRT for Women
What Is It?
In women, HRT most commonly refers to the administration of estrogen and, in some cases, progesterone. It’s often used to relieve symptoms of menopause and perimenopause.
Common Symptoms Treated:
Hot flashes and night sweats
Mood swings and irritability
Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex
Fatigue or sleep disturbances
Decreased bone density (osteoporosis)
Types of HRT:
Estrogen-only HRT (for women who have had a hysterectomy)
Combined HRT (estrogen and progesterone, for women with an intact uterus)
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (custom-compounded based on individual hormone levels)
Delivery Methods:
Pills
Skin patches
Gels or creams
Vaginal rings or tablets
Risks & Considerations:
HRT isn’t suitable for everyone. Risks may include increased chance of blood clots, stroke, breast cancer, or heart disease, depending on individual health history. Consultation with a healthcare provider is essential.
HRT for men
What Is It?
In men, HRT is often referred to as Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). It's used to treat low testosterone levels (hypogonadism), which can decline due to aging or medical conditions.
Common Symptoms Treated:
Low libido or erectile dysfunction
Fatigue and loss of energy
Depression or mood changes
Loss of muscle mass or increased body fat
Cognitive difficulties or poor concentration
Delivery Methods:
Injections
Gels or creams
Skin patches
Monitoring & Safety:
Regular blood tests are required to monitor hormone levels, red blood cell counts, and prostate health. TRT may not be appropriate for men with certain conditions such as prostate or breast cancer.
