Hormone replacement therapy is a treatment that’s becoming increasingly popular in its primary use of treating symptoms of menopause and andropause. Menopause is the time during a woman’s life when her menstrual cycle slows down and eventually stops altogether. Similarly, andropause is the time in a man’s life when his hormone levels diminish.
As you transition into menopause, your body stops making sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone. If you’re going into andropause, you primarily lose the male sex hormone, testosterone.
Hormone replacement therapy is a way to replace the hormones that you lose in these middle age processes. The hormones that you take during therapy are entirely natural and made from plant hormones. They look and function just like your original hormones without the risks that come with using synthetic hormones for therapy.
Hormone replacement therapy helps treat the symptoms you experience during menopause or andropause, which can be different for everyone. If you’re a woman, hormone replacement therapy can help treat:
