What are some signs of hormonal imbalance?
Your body produces a wide range of hormones, each of which works to send messages within your body and trigger a vast array of different functions. Over time, your natural hormone production levels decline, which can create a number of changes that alter how you feel and function every day.
Some of the signs of hormonal imbalance in men include:
- Low sex drive
- Loss of muscle mass
- Erectile dysfunction
- Swollen breast tissue
- Loss of body hair
- Weight gain
Understanding what to look for can help you know when it’s time to seek professional support for hormonal imbalances.
How can hormone replacement therapy (HRT) restore optimal balance?
Hormone replacement therapy works by supplementing your natural hormone production with synthetic hormones. This is never a one-size-fits-all solution and requires a highly skilled and customized approach.
There are a number of different ways to administer supplemental hormones, each of which has specific pros and cons. Your practitioner explains which options offer the best fit for your needs.
The process begins with lab testing to better understand your current hormone production levels. This allows your practitioner to determine the precise dosing to begin your HRT journey. We are a full service practice that can draw your labs and administer testosterone all in the same facility!
How long does it take to see results after hormone replacement therapy?
It takes time for your body to respond to supplemental hormones, so be patient as you move through treatment. You can improve your experience by closely examining how your body responds and tracking those changes over time.
Your practitioner can make changes to your HRT treatment to address any issues that arise. It often takes a period of trial and error to find the optimal balance between natural and synthetic hormones.
You’ll also learn techniques to improve specific symptoms while moving through HRT. For example, improving your sleep environment can help you get more rest, and improving your nutrition and boosting activity levels can help you maintain a healthy weight. When you’re ready to start, call Vyvo Therapeutics to schedule a consultation. Online booking is also available, allowing you to schedule from home anytime.
