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.
Hormones play a significant role in regulating mood and mental health. Imbalances can lead to mood swings, anxiety, depression, and other emotional issues.
Hormones are crucial for maintaining physical health, including metabolism, energy levels, and muscle and bone strength. Imbalances can result in weight gain, fatigue, and decreased muscle mass.
Hormones are vital for sexual health and function. Imbalances can cause issues such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction in men, and vaginal dryness in women.
