How Do You Know If You Are a Good Candidate For HRT?

Are you wondering what happened to that rested, clear-minded person from ten years ago? Don’t worry they are still there but may be covered up by hormonal imbalances. As we enter our 30s and 40s, hormonal levels can decline and cause unwanted physical and mental changes. If you are experiencing changes in your body that leave you tired and libido-less, it may be time for hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). Located in Tampa, Florida, Impact Medical Group provides this exciting treatment for patients that want to optimize their health. Read on to see if you are a good candidate for HRT.

Generally, when a person chooses to replace hormones, they are seeking solutions to physical symptoms that are happening as a result of said missing hormones. For women this may include night sweats, mood swings, hot flashes, brain fog, and more. Men may experience similar symptoms and also fatigue, decreased libido, and others due to a lack of testosterone. Hormone replacement therapy, specifically bio-identical hormone treatment, creates a personalized treatment plan that may include estrogen, testosterone, and/or progesterone. It has been proven to drastically improve hair loss, insomnia, depleted energy levels, and much more.

So, are you a prime HRT candidate? You may be if you are a non-smoker, under 60 years old, or within 10 years of menopause and are in good health. However, at this time, it is recommended that women with a personal history of estrogen-positive breast cancer and men who have been treated for prostate cancer abstain due to the nature of the therapy.
