Who Can Benefit from HRT?

Women Experiencing Menopause:

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. HRT can help alleviate these symptoms by replenishing estrogen and progesterone levels.

 

Men with Andropause:

Andropause, or male menopause, is characterized by a gradual decline in testosterone levels in men, typically occurring in midlife. Symptoms may include fatigue, depression, decreased libido, and muscle loss. HRT can help restore testosterone levels and improve these symptoms.

 

Individuals with Hormonal Disorders:

HRT can also be beneficial for individuals with conditions such as hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, and other hormonal disorders. By balancing hormone levels, HRT can help manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.
