  • Fatigue

  • Low energy

  • Brain fog

  • Mood changes

  • Decreased libido

  • Weight gain

  • Hot flashes

  • Night sweats

  • Difficulty sleeping

  • Reduced muscle mass

  • Poor recovery from exercise

Who is a candidate for hormone replacement therapy?

You may be a candidate if you are experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance.

Your provider will review:

  • Medical history

  • Current symptoms

  • Laboratory testing

  • Treatment goals

before determining whether HRT is appropriate.

What laboratory work is required?

How long does it take to notice improvement?

Many patients begin noticing improvements within several weeks, although full benefits may take several months depending on the treatment plan and individual response.

Are there side effects?

Potential side effects vary depending on the medication prescribed and individual factors.

Your provider will discuss the benefits, risks, and possible side effects before starting treatment and will monitor your progress closely.
