Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment used to balance and supplement hormone levels in the body. It can involve replacing hormones that the body is no longer producing adequately or adding hormones to address specific health concerns.
As you age or experience certain medical conditions, hormone imbalances can occur, leading to a range of symptoms that can affect your happiness and well-being. HRT aims to alleviate these symptoms and improve your overall quality of life.
The most common types of Hormone Replacement Therapy include:
Menopause Hormone therapy (MHT)
MHT can help manage perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms in women. It typically involves estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
TRT is used primarily to address symptoms of low testosterone levels in men.
Thyroid Replacement Therapy
This type of HRT is prescribed for individuals with an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) to restore normal thyroid levels, helping to regulate metabolism and energy levels.
