What Age Can You Start Hormone Replacement Therapy?
It is not uncommon for hormonal imbalances to occur in men or women of any age. If you begin to experience signs of hormonal imbalances, such as hot flashes or night sweats, hormone replacement therapy may be right for you.
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, are medications containing hormones that are used to treat hormone imbalances. The treatment is traditionally associated with older women experiencing menopause but can be used to correct hormonal imbalances in men or women of almost any age. Hormone replacement therapy can be used to treat testosterone, estrogen, and endocrine imbalances.
What Age Can You Start Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy is typically started at whatever age you start to notice symptoms of hormonal imbalances. Generally, women under the age of 60 can start hormone replacement therapy with very little risk risks. However, after the age of 60, the risks may possibly start to outweigh the benefits of the treatment, and you may be advised against it. Schedule a consultation at Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics to see if hormone replacement therapy is right for you.
How Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?
Hormone imbalances can occur for various reasons such as diet, age, stress, or high body fat percentage. These imbalances can cause issues such as night sweats, lower libido, depression, and mood swings.
Hormone replacement therapy works by boosting any hormones your body is deficient in. Our bio-identical, plant-based hormones effectively match your own closer than traditional synthetic HRT, therefore treating your imbalances more efficiently.
At Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics, we use a DUTCH (dry urine total comprehensive hormone) test to determine your specific needs and develop a comprehensive plan. We then work with local licensed pharmacies to create your personalized treatment. Your hormone replacement therapy may come as tablets, creams, or capsules.
There may be risks associated with hormone replacement therapy depending on factors such as your age, medical history, and the type of hormone replacement therapy you take. Your Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics provider will inform you about the risks associated with hormone replacement therapy and assist you in making the right decision.
