What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Are you tired of feeling tired? Have you been wondering what happened to your sex life? Are you struggling to get rid of your excess weight that’s stubbornly hanging around? You could have a hormone imbalance causing all of these symptoms and more.
Hormone imbalance symptoms are often associated with women who are going through menopause. In reality, whether you’re male or female, you can have imbalanced hormones and adverse related symptoms at any age. At No Mercy Sports Medicine in Miami, Florida, Dr. Moisés Irizarry-Román treats men and women with hormone imbalances using safe, effective hormone replacement therapy.
What causes hormone imbalances?
Hormones can become imbalanced in both men and women due to aging, stress, illness, injury, medical treatments, conditions like diabetes, or problems with any glands that produce hormones, such as your thyroid or pituitary glands. If you’re a woman with a functioning reproductive system, you could also experience hormone imbalances due to perimenopause or menopause, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or ovarian problems.
Symptoms of hormone imbalance
Symptoms of hormone imbalance can present differently in men and women, although both share many symptoms.
Women with hormonal imbalance may experience any or all of these symptoms and more:
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Vaginal dryness
- Irregular bleeding
- Excessive hair growth
Men with hormone imbalance may experience:
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Muscle weakness
- Low sex drive or sexual dysfunction
- Thinning hair
Hormone replacement therapy can help both men and women regain their vitality and relieve these and other symptoms.
What is hormone replacement therapy?
At No Mercy Sports Medicine, Dr. Irizarry-Román can diagnose your hormone imbalance and create a specialized hormone replacement therapy plan. You can expect:
