Hormone therapy provides vital hormone replacement for those with deficiencies. It can relieve unpleasant signs and symptoms, while improving quality of life. This article outlines key details about hormone therapy provided by Butterfly Hormone Center clinic in Rootstown.
Hormone therapy, also called hormone replacement therapy (HRT), restores hormones to optimal levels when the body cannot produce enough. Imbalances often develop with age but also affect younger people. Symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and loss of sex drive can significantly lower one’s quality of life. Hormone optimization rectifies this through medications and lifestyle adjustments.
Many adults develop hormonal imbalances as they age, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Hormone deficiency particularly impacts men over age 40 and women in perimenopause/menopause. However, hormone imbalances occasionally affect younger individuals too, regardless of biological sex. Lab testing helps identify suboptimal hormone levels. If confirmed, hormone therapy often helps patients feel their best again.
Restoring hormones to optimal ranges with therapy brings extensive benefits like:
Hormone deficiencies that persist over time increase one’s risk for various diseases and lower quality of life. Prompt diagnosis and treatment helps avoid complications like heart disease, osteoporosis, and neurocognitive decline. It enables patients to feel healthy and vibrant at any age. Conversely, ignoring hormone imbalances allows symptoms to worsen over time.
