Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone replacement is often used in anti-aging medicine. As we age, the production of hormone decline. Hormones are essential to helping the body and brain function optimally.
For women, hormone replacement therapy can help ease the symptoms of menopause. Symptoms of menopause can vary from moderate to severe, and include a slowed metabolism, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, depression, memory loss, mood swings, weight gain and low libido.
For men, hormone replacement therapy can significantly impact quality of life. As a natural part of aging, men experience a decrease in testosterone production which can cause loss of muscle mass, erectile dysfunction, low libido, fatigue and thinning skin.
