Signs Biomedical Hormone Therapy Could Benefit You

Posted by Rob A on July 9th, 2019

There are many different articles on the internet that cover the benefits of biomedical hormone replacement therapy in Dallas. What is less covered is who can benefit from or needs the therapy.

Here is a brief rundown of some of the common symptoms that hormone replacement therapy might be able to help.

Irregular Periods

As women enter into menopause, one major development is the disruption and even stoppage of their menstrual cycle. For many women, monthly periods stop altogether, but for some, irregular periods become the norm. Hormone therapy can help regulate periods, which can lead to an improvement in the overall quality of life.

Thinning Hair

Another sign of aging can be thinning hair on your head and body. Much of the hair loss is due to reduced hormone levels. Replacement therapy can restore those hormone levels and reduce the tendency of hair to thin.

Sexual Issues

Menopause can also affect a woman’s sex drive as well as contribute to vaginal dryness, which can make intercourse painful. A properly managed hormone replacement regimen can help restore sex drive and aid in addressing any dryness issues.

Energy Levels and Fatigue

By far, one of the benefits of biomedical hormone replacement therapy is the increase in energy levels. It can even lead to the alleviation of chronic fatigue. Achieving both improves the quality of life of a person as well as makes them more productive and able to tackle life.

Muscle Weakness

Part of growing older is also a loss of strength. Regular exercise is the best way to address this, but hormone replacement therapy can help as well. Restoring hormone levels to when a person was younger allows the body to more easily build and sustain muscle.

Hot Flashes / Night Sweats

An infamous symptom of menopause is the development of both hot flashes and night sweats. This can also be a sign of perimenopause. Not only can either symptom be extremely uncomfortable and strike at any time, but both can also disrupt sleep patterns and contribute to fatigue, mental and emotional health. Hormone replacement therapy can help regulate perimenopause as well as help alleviate if not eliminate hot flashes and night sweats.

Mental and Emotional Health

Both can be negatively affected by reductions in naturally occurring hormone levels. In some cases, the impact can be very severe. Hormone replacement therapy is not a substitute for counseling or mental health treatment, but it can help make mood swings less likely and moods overall more stabilized.

There are many other symptoms and reasons someone may want or need biomedical hormone replacement therapy in Dallas, so you should not limit yourself to just this list. If you think you may be a candidate for this therapy, talk with your doctor today!
