During menopause, your ovaries gradually produce fewer hormones. This hormonal change can lead to a range of symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, loss of libido, and sleep disturbances.
HRT involves supplementing your body with hormones it’s no longer naturally producing in sufficient amounts. It introduces hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, into your body to ease symptoms and restore hormonal balance.
You can get HRT in different forms, including:
HRT treatment is always tailored to meet your individual needs and preferences. We work closely with you to determine the right method and dosage for your specific situation.
One of the best things about HRT is the many benefits this treatment provides. Here’s a look at some of the top advantages of choosing hormone replacement therapy:
Hormone replacement therapy effectively reduces or eliminates hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings, providing much-needed relief for women going through menopause.
HRT helps preserve bone density, reducing your risk of osteoporosis and fractures. It promotes bone strength and minimizes the impact of bone loss associated with aging.
Hormonal changes during menopause can lead to vaginal dryness and discomfort during sexual intercourse. HRT restores moisture and elasticity to the vaginal tissues, improving overall comfort and quality of life.
Hormone imbalances can contribute to mood swings, irritability, and feelings of anxiety or depression. By restoring hormonal balance, HRT positively affects emotional well-being and improves overall mental health.
