Every human body naturally produces hormones that contribute to sexual development. The best known of these are testosterone and estrogen. Both of these are present in every human body, but men have higher levels of testosterone, while women have higher levels of estrogen. 

 

As we age, however, these hormones can become unbalanced. This can contribute to a variety of symptoms, including weight gain, depression, and sexual dysfunction. That’s why men and women alike turn to hormone replacement therapy as a treatment. Let’s take a look at how this treatment works, and how the trained staff at Lakeland’s Premier Solutions can help.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

 

Men with low testosterone can exhibit a variety of symptoms, including:

 

  • Mental and emotional symptoms, such as irritability, depression, and lack of focus
  • Physical symptoms, such as weight gain, insomnia, or joint pain
  • Sexual symptoms, such as low libido and decreased performance

 

If you have these symptoms, it may be smart to test your testosterone levels. If they’re low, hormone replacement therapy can provide many benefits, such as:

 

  • Increased energy
  • Reduced body fat
  • Increased lean body mass and muscle strength
  • Increased libido and performance
  • Improved mood and sense of well-being

 

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

Many women experience hormone imbalances as they age, some as early as 35. The decline in hormones like estrogen in the body can cause multiple symptoms, including:

 

  • Loss of libido
  • Unexpected weight gain
  • Mood swings and forgetfulness
  • Changes in the look of your hair and skin
  • Lack of energy and motivation

 

By providing hormone replacement therapy with natural, bio-identical estrogen and progesterone, you can alleviate your symptoms more effectively with fewer side effects than with synthetic hormones.  

 

How Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?

If you’re interested in hormone replacement therapy, the first step is to get your hormone levels tested. Then, we’ll review the results and discuss your symptoms, history, lifestyle, and goals so we can make recommendations. The therapy can be provided in multiple ways, including injections, pills, gels, creams, and even lollipops that contain the hormone.
