Hormone therapy - Restorative Health Center

Introduction

Hormone therapy is an effective treatment option for both men and women struggling with hormonal imbalances and deficiencies. The knowledgeable clinicians at Restorative Health Center provide customized hormone therapy plans to help patients restore energy, vitality, and overall well-being.

Common Hormonal Imbalances and Their Symptoms

Low Testosterone in Men

• Signs and symptoms: low energy, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, mood changes, poor concentration
• Left untreated, low testosterone can negatively impact quality of life and lead to other medical conditions
• Testosterone therapy administered under medical supervision can safely alleviate symptoms

Estrogen Deficiency in Women

• Occurs during menopause as ovarian estrogen production declines
• Symptoms include hot flashes, vaginal dryness, insomnia, joint pain, mood swings, difficulty concentrating
• Hormone replacement therapy with estrogen, often combined with progesterone, is highly effective

Thyroid Disorders

• Both low (hypothyroidism) and high (hyperthyroidism) thyroid levels cause problems
• Symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, and bowel issues point to a potential thyroid disorder
• Detecting and treating thyroid imbalance with medications can prevent complications

Assessing Hormone Levels

• Consult an endocrinologist or hormone specialist to determine if hormone testing is recommended based on symptoms
• Bloodwork and/or saliva tests will measure levels of key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and thyroid hormones
• Testing may need to be repeated over time to establish a baseline and monitor treatment
• Accurately diagnosing hormone deficiencies or excesses is crucial before pursuing treatment
