What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy

HRT involves the administration of hormones, typically estrogen and progesterone for women and testosterone for men, to replace those the body no longer produces at sufficient levels. It’s designed to relieve symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and decreased sexual function.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy

The primary benefits of HRT include relief from menopausal symptoms, improved bone density, reduced risk of osteoporosis, and enhanced quality of life. For men, testosterone replacement can improve energy levels, muscle strength, libido, and mood.

What are Risks and Considerations

While HRT can offer significant benefits, it’s not suitable for everyone. Potential risks include an increased risk of blood clots, stroke, and certain types of cancer. Dr. Sabeen Munib thoroughly evaluates each patient's medical history, lifestyle, and individual risk factors to ensure HRT is a safe and effective option.

What are different types of Hormone Replacement Therapy

HRT can be delivered through various forms, including oral tablets, patches, gels, creams, and injections. The choice depends on the individual’s health, preferences, and the specific hormones needed. Dr. Munib customizes treatment plans to match each patient's unique needs.

Determining if You’re a Candidate for HRT

Candidates for HRT typically include women experiencing moderate to severe menopausal symptoms or men with symptoms of low testosterone that affect their quality of life. A comprehensive evaluation, including blood tests to assess hormone levels, helps Dr. Munib determine if HRT is appropriate.

Monitoring and Adjusting Treatment

Ongoing monitoring is crucial to the success of HRT. Dr. Munib regularly reviews each patient's response to treatment, adjusting dosages as necessary and conducting periodic health assessments to manage any risks.

HRT & Lifestyle Considerations and Support

In addition to HRT, lifestyle modifications such as diet, exercise, and stress management can play a significant role in managing hormonal symptoms. Dr. Munib provides holistic support, advising on lifestyle changes that complement hormone therapy for optimal health outcomes. Scheduling a Consultation for HRT
