Find Symptoms – You May Need HRT
May 10, 2019

 

Do you have trouble sleeping during the night? Is there reduced strength in your muscles? Alternatively, do you have fatigue and energy shortages throughout the day? These all could be signs of being a bioidentical hormone therapy candidate.

Hormone replacement therapy in OKC to replace hormones helps patients recover energy, and improve muscle strength, mental clarity, and weight management. The hormone pellets release all-natural bioidentical estrogens and testosterone and are consistently metabolized into the body, if necessary. Talk to us as your BioTE provider today if you feel that you may be an applicant for hormone replacement therapy.

HRT and Women

For women, menopause is often accompanied by the development of hormonal imbalance, and estrogen loss can put women at risk of premature ovary failure, cardiac problems, cancer, osteoporosis, and other severe consequences for their health. Some signs that you could be a hormone replacement therapy candidate for women include:

  • Sleep difficulties

  • Lower muscle strength

  • Low sexual desire

  • Lack of energy, exhaustion, and fatigue

  • Gaining weight, especially in abdominal areas

  • Hair thinning

  • Concentration problems

  • Dry skin

  • Menstrual cycles coming to an end gradually

  • Vaginal dryness

  • Mood disorder, depression or anxiety

  • Incapable of losing weight

  • Joint pain

When Can Women Take HRT?

The majority of women can have HRT if they have menopause-related symptoms. However, HRT may not be appropriate if you have:

  • History of breast, ovarian, or womb cancer

  • Untreated blood high-pressure

  • Liver disease

  • Pregnancy

HRT and Men

For men, a life transition point is not as obvious as menopause, but testosterone is still lost regularly after 30 years of age.

  • Lack of energy, exhaustion, and fatigue

  • Difficulty achieving or sustaining an erection

  • Concentration problem

  • Libido loss
