Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

Hormone replacement therapy is medication that contains female hormones. You take the medication to replace the estrogen that your body stops making during menopause. Hormone therapy is most often used to treat common menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes and vaginal discomfort.

Hormone therapy has also been proved to prevent bone loss and reduce fracture in postmenopausal women.

However, there are risks associated with using hormone therapy. These risks depend on the type of hormone therapy, the dose, how long the medication is taken and your individual health risks. For best results, hormone therapy should be tailored to each person and reevaluated every so often to be sure the benefits still outweigh the risks.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

Also known as TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) can be found in many forms such as creams, troches, oral medications, and injectables. Symptoms of low testosterone (Low T) can impact men in more ways than the common diminished sex drive and loss of muscle. It can even lead to bouts of depression and loss of interest in many activities.

Studies show that after the age of 40, testosterone and testicular function decrease approximately 2% each year and dramatically decrease further to approximately 15% each year between the age of 80-90.
