Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment that replaces hormones when your body no longer produces adequate amounts. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to undesirable symptoms. HRT can help relieve these symptoms and promote better health.
At Renew Hormone Institute in Wrentham, we specialize in customized hormonal therapy plans to help patients address hormone deficiencies. We offer treatment for both men and women to regulate hormone imbalance and improve quality of life.
The first step is determining if hormone levels are low through hormone tests. Common deficiencies include:
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) treats low testosterone or "low T" in men. Signs include:
Thyroid, growth hormone, DHEA, and other hormones may also become depleted. Proper hormone testing is key to identify shortages early.
Restoring hormones to normal levels provides advantages like:
With customized treatment plans, patients can target specific symptom relief.
There are various forms of hormone replacement available:
Tablets or capsules taken daily:
Gels, creams or patches applied to skin allow for steady dosing.
Testosterone, growth hormone - injections administered weekly/monthly.
Estrogen, testosterone or thyroid hormones in a pellet inserted under the skin every 3-6 months.
Doses must be carefully calibrated and adjusted based on follow-up hormone tests and symptom tracking.
While long-term hormone therapy is linked to health risks, a 2021 study found short-term hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms may provide cardiovascular benefits. Researchers found that women taking hormone therapy for less than one year had a significant reduction in risk of cardiovascular events compared to those who never took hormones.
It's critical to diagnose and treat hormone deficiencies early before complications develop.
Left untreated, symptoms greatly impact physical health and mental wellbeing. Chronic issues like cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, anxiety, depression may emerge over time.
