What is the purpose of hormone replacement therapy?

Your body makes all the hormones you need to thrive, with absolutely no effort on your part. Over time, however, these natural production levels will decline. Virtually all men and women will eventually begin to experience some degree of hormonal imbalance. 

Hormone replacement therapy uses synthetic hormones to supplement the hormones your system produces naturally. The goal is to create optimal balance and improve your symptoms. The process is highly customized and can be adjusted as your needs change over time. 

What are some signs I might need hormone replacement therapy?

Hormonal imbalance can create several disruptive and uncomfortable changes. It’s important to listen to the messages your body is sending and to reach out for help when you notice symptoms. 

Some of the signs of hormonal imbalance in women include:

• Irregular periods
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Vaginal dryness
• Mood swings

Some of the signs of hormonal imbalance in men include:

How long does it take to see results after hormone replacement therapy?
