Hormonal imbalances, especially during menopause, can bring about uncomfortable symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. These issues can significantly impact your quality of life. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has been a proven solution for managing these symptoms by restoring hormonal balance. However, concerns about potential risks have led many to seek out trusted providers for personalized care.
At Skin Deep NB, we go beyond standard treatments to offer tailored HRT solutions that prioritize your unique needs and goals. Our cutting-edge therapies are designed to not only relieve symptoms but also address the root causes of hormonal imbalances, helping you regain control of your health and well-being.
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone Replacement Therapy works by replenishing low levels of hormones in your body using either synthetic or bioidentical hormones. There are several types of HRT, and the best choice depends on your specific health needs:
- Estrogen Therapy: Recommended for women who have undergone a hysterectomy, estrogen therapy helps reduce menopausal symptoms and maintains bone health.
- Estrogen and Progesterone Therapy: For women with an intact uterus, a combination of estrogen and progesterone protects the uterine lining and is available in pills, patches, or gels.
- Bioidentical Hormones: These hormones mimic the natural ones your body produces, offering a more holistic approach. They come in creams, gels, or pills and provide a gentler alternative to traditional HRT.
- Testosterone Therapy: While less common for women, testosterone therapy can help those suffering from low energy or libido. For men, testosterone replacement is often used to address low testosterone levels.
Why Choose Hormone Replacement Therapy?
If you’re dealing with the frustrating effects of hormonal imbalances, HRT can significantly improve your quality of life. Here’s how:
- Relief from Menopausal Symptoms: HRT provides fast, effective relief from symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. This enables you to regain comfort and confidence.
- Improved Bone Health: Estrogen plays a vital role in maintaining bone density. HRT can reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures, especially for women who experience early menopause.
- Mood and Emotional Balance: Hormonal changes can lead to mood swings, anxiety, or depression. HRT helps stabilize your mood by restoring balance to hormone levels.
- Heart Health: Research shows that starting HRT during the early stages of menopause could offer heart-protective benefits, though further studies are still ongoing.
Weighing the Risks: What You Should Know
While HRT has many benefits, it’s important to be aware of the risks:
- Cancer Concerns: Prolonged use of estrogen-only HRT may increase the risk of endometrial cancer, while combined HRT slightly raises the risk of breast cancer. We always provide personalized recommendations based on your health history.
- Risk of Blood Clots: Some oral forms of HRT can increase the chance of blood clots, potentially leading to deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
- Stroke Risk: There is a slight increase in the risk of stroke for older women or those with pre-existing conditions when taking HRT.
- Possible Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, headaches, and mood changes, though these often subside as your body adjusts to the therapy.
