A Closer Look at Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) at Southeastern Institute of Restorative Med Spa

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a pivotal treatment in the field of health and wellness, offering profound benefits for those experiencing hormonal imbalances. At Southeastern Institute of Restorative Med Spa, led by Dr. Gregory Thompson, we provide comprehensive insights into HRT, understanding its necessity, and how our practice approaches this transformative treatment

Understanding Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone Replacement Therapy is a medical treatment used to replenish hormones that are at a lower level in the body. This can occur due to various reasons, such as menopause in women or decreasing testosterone levels in men. HRT can significantly improve quality of life, alleviating symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances

HRT for Women: Managing Menopause

Menopause is a natural stage in a woman's life, typically occurring in the late 40s or early 50s. It is characterized by the end of menstrual cycles and a significant drop in hormone levels, particularly estrogen. This decrease can lead to various symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and a decrease in bone density. HRT for women primarily involves estrogen therapy, which can be combined with progesterone for those who have not had a hysterectomy.

HRT for Men: Addressing Testosterone Decline

While less discussed, hormonal changes in men, often termed as 'andropause', can also have substantial effects. The gradual decline in testosterone levels can lead to symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, decreased libido, and loss of muscle mass. Testosterone replacement therapy is used to restore hormonal balance, improve energy levels, and maintain muscle strength and sexual function.
