Hormone Replacement Therapy

What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) restores hormone levels that naturally decline due to aging, menopause, or certain medical conditions. The treatment supplements your body with hormones like estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone to alleviate symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances. 

HRT is used for men and women and can improve overall quality of life by addressing specific health concerns linked to hormonal changes.

What symptoms can hormone replacement therapy address?

HRT can help relieve a variety of symptoms caused by hormonal deficiencies. The breakdown includes:

For women

Women can experience hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, low libido, and sleep disturbances commonly associated with menopause.

For men

Men can experience fatigue, reduced muscle mass, low libido, mood changes, and cognitive issues often linked to low testosterone levels.

In general

Both sexes can have symptoms like brain fog, difficulty concentrating, weight gain, and decreased energy.

How does hormone replacement therapy work?

HRT works by supplementing your body with the hormones it lacks, restoring balance, and addressing symptoms. Treatment can be delivered through different methods, such as:

• Pills
• Patches
• Creams
• Injections
• Pellets

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones chemically identical to those produced by the body, offering a more natural approach.

Clinic Infinity offers Biote, a prominent provider of bioidentical hormone therapy, delivering customized solutions through tiny, time-released pellets placed under your skin. These pellets release a steady dose of hormones, ensuring consistent results without daily maintenance.

Is hormone replacement therapy safe?

Your Clinic Infinity practitioners are trained professionals who can administer HRT and monitor you to ensure its safety and effectiveness. You’ll first undergo a thorough evaluation that includes your medical history and lab tests to determine the right treatment plan. 

While some risks exist, such as blood clots or increased cancer risks, these are typically rare and depend on individual factors. Bioidentical hormone therapy, like Biote, may further reduce potential risks due to its natural composition and precise dosing.
