Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, is a medical treatment that supplements and optimizes several key hormones within the body. Over time and due to various conditions, the hormones in our bodies can decline, such as during menopause. This leads to uncomfortable symptoms, such as fatigue, hot flashes, and irritability.
With hormone replacement therapy in Forest Park, we can help restore the ideal balance, allowing you to feel better and improve your overall well-being.
Hormonal imbalance looks different, as not everyone shares the same symptoms. Common symptoms of hormonal imbalance include:
Women:
Men:
Hormone replacement therapy is an excellent treatment option for both men and women. Adults suffering from a hormonal imbalance can experience the benefits of HRT just a few weeks following treatment.
For Women: Women of all ages can benefit from HRT. Most commonly, women experiencing symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, and post-menopause opt to receive treatment. HRT can also benefit women who suffer from uncomfortable menstrual periods or irregular mood swings.
For Men: Hormonal imbalances are more common due to aging, as testosterone levels may naturally decline. With treatment, men can get back to their old selves. Some men may find relief in having their hormones balanced for the first time.
At Ahmed Family Practice, we generally administer at least two treatments of HRT. Every patient reacts to treatment differently. Your symptoms may resolve naturally over time, or you may benefit from ongoing hormone optimization to continue experiencing relief.
Every patient responds differently to treatment. However, you can expect to see initial results 3 to 8 weeks following your treatment.
Hormones can behave differently between men and women. For our male patients, your results can last up to 5 months. For our female patients, you can expect your results to last up to 3 months. After this time, we can repeat the treatment process to further extend your relief from uncomfortable symptoms.
Yes, you can pair HRT with other services offered at Ahmed Family Practice. Depending on your needs, you may benefit from participating in our medical weight loss program, Emsella treatment sessions, or our sexual health & wellness services. Additional services can help you achieve greater enhancements to your overall well-being.
