HORMONE REPLACEMENT (BHRT)
Hormones are the chemical messengers of your body. They travel through the bloodstream to your tissues and your organs. Over time they can affect many of the body’s processes including metabolism, mood, fertility and sexual function.
As we age, hormone levels fluctuate causing many of the changes associated with aging. For women, menopause can cause dramatic changes in hormone levels. For men, andropause can lead to decreased muscle mass, erectile dysfunction, depression, insomnia, irritability, and others. Some of these symptoms can be minimized or eliminated by restoring balance through the use of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).
Common complaints include:
Hot Flashes & Night Sweats
Mood Swings
Fatigue
Weight Gain
Low Libido
Bone Loss and Osteoporosis
Breast Tenderness
Migraine Headaches
Hormone replacement therapy remains the most effective treatment for the symptoms associated with menopause/andropause. Hormone replacement can be used to treat men and women when their hormone levels fluctuate and become unbalanced. For women, it is most commonly used to treat symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. It can improve symptoms of hot flashes, mood swings, low libido, weight gain, depression, vaginal dryness, brain fog, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, insulin resistance and adrenal disorders.
