What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone Replacement Therapy involves supplementing or replacing hormones that the body is no longer producing adequately. This therapy is commonly used to treat symptoms of menopause in women and testosterone deficiency in men.
Importance of Hormonal Balance
Mood and Mental Health
Hormones play a significant role in regulating mood and mental health. Imbalances can lead to mood swings, anxiety, depression, and other emotional issues.
