What are the Signs that You Need Hormone Replacement Therapy?

It is a common misconception that only women in menopause experience hormone imbalances. Both men and women of any age can experience symptoms of a hormonal imbalance. At Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics, we will create a custom plan for your hormone replacement therapy needs. 

Signs You May Need HRT

There are many different reasons anyone could develop a hormonal imbalance, including age, diet, poor sleep, and stress. It is essential to know the signs of hormonal imbalance to determine whether or not to consult a doctor about hormone replacement therapy. The signs to look for include:

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Vaginal dryness
• Pain, itching, or burning during intercourse
• Bone loss
• Low sex-drive
• Mood changes
• Irritability
• Weight gain
• Sleep problems

If you are experiencing multiple of these symptoms, schedule a consultation with Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics to find the best plan for you.

What is Hormone Therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) treats low testosterone and hormone and endocrine levels imbalances. Endocrine glands, including the thyroid, control energy and metabolism. When these levels are low, it can cause problems in day-to-day life, typically blamed on aging. 

At Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics, we pride ourselves on creating the best unique treatment plan for you. To determine your individual hormone needs, we use the DUTCH test (dry urine total comprehensive hormone test). This test helps us determine your exact needs and develop a plan. Once we choose your treatment plan, we use licensed local pharmacies to compound a treatment, either a capsule, cream, or dissolving tablet. 

At Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics, we use plant-based hormones that work better with your body than synthetic ones. Bioidentical hormones mimic the body’s natural producing hormones, restoring the function of your hormonal systems.

Benefits of Hormone Therapy

Most people blame the loss of energy and other side effects of low hormone and endocrine levels on age. The truth is anyone of any age can benefit from hormone therapy. 

More Energy

Hormonal and endocrine imbalances cause a feeling of fatigue or loss of energy. While most blame aging, restoring hormonal balance may leave you feeling like you have more energy and feel years younger.

Look Better

Hormones affect everything from skin to hair to our overall appearance. Imbalances can lead to dull skin, brittle or lost hair, and many other symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy leaves many people healthier and lively. 

Feel Better

Along with higher energy levels, you may find an overall feeling of wellness. Hormone and endocrine levels affect different systems all over the body. HRT may improve both physical and mental health. 

Am I a Good Candidate for HRT?

Almost anyone who has concerns about their hormone levels and function can be a candidate for hormone therapy. Men and women experience hormonal imbalances. If you have any concerns, hormone replacement therapy may be right for you. Our plant-based formulas at Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetic also lower the risks of side effects. People with certain medical conditions may not be good candidates, but we recommend discussing this during a consultation.
