What Are the Symptoms & Causes of Hormone Imbalance?
Hormone changes can be caused by aging, stress, or genetic deficiencies. A major concern for women is menopause, while men may experience andropause or low testosterone. HRT treatments can help fight aging and balance your hormones.
Women utilize hormone replacement therapy to help with many symptoms as pregnancy, childbirth, and aging can negatively affect the endocrine system. Signs and symptoms of female hormone imbalance include bone density loss, depression, fatigue, hot flashes, low libido, memory loss, migraines, mood swings, and weight gain. Hormonal imbalance is not limited to women. Men with low testosterone levels or hormone deficiencies can also benefit from HRT treatments. Testosterone therapy will help address decreased libido, weak bone density, sudden weight gain, muscle atrophy, sperm health, and male pattern baldness.
