The decision to begin hormone replacement therapy is nothing to take lightly. Depending on what’s happening, there may be other solutions to consider. That’s why it’s so important to work closely with a qualified professional to identify the best way to proceed. If any of the following applies to you, HRT may be exactly what you need.
An Imbalance Caused By Medication or a Medical Condition
A side effect of some medications is a decrease in the natural production of specific hormones. At times, it’s possible to switch to a different medication and allow those production levels to return to normal. When that’s not possible, using hormone replacement therapy may be the only practical approach.
The same is true with some medical conditions. They may permanently interfere with the body’s ability to produce a specific hormone in sufficient quantities. The only real option is to begin hormone replacement therapy and continue it for the remainder of your life.
An Accident That Interferes with Hormone Production
Injuries to some bodily organs can lead to an inability to produce enough of a particular hormone. The only way to counteract the lack of that hormone is to replace it. With the aid of hormone replacement therapy, you can correct the deficiency and avoid the ill effects that resulted from the lack of that hormone.
Problems with Intimacy
Hormonal imbalances often lead to problems with intimacy. You may no longer have any desire to be close to your partner. Perhaps the desire remains, but the ability to act upon it is impaired. As the hormone replacement therapy begins to work, you’ll once again want to be intimate.
Changes in Your Emotional Equilibrium
A hormone imbalance does affect your cognitive and emotional equilibrium. You find it harder to concentrate on tasks or retain information. That in turn can have a significant impact on your demeanor at work and at home. You also feel that your emotions are out of control. The good news is that the right approach to hormone replacement therapy will reverse this sense of not being in control as well as the lack of cognitive ability over time.
Chronic Fatigue
Did you know that an increasing number of medical professionals agree that a hormone imbalance can be the cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? Hormone replacement therapy can help in these cases.
