How to Know If You Need Hormone Replacement Therapy

Both men and women can experience symptoms of hormonal imbalance as they age. Women often notice hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and difficulty sleeping, which could indicate the need for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women. Men may struggle with fatigue, decreased muscle mass, and low energy levels. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, a consultation with board-certified family nurse practitioner Ariel Gilmore at Younger Medical Health and Wellness in Scottsdale or Queen Creek, AZ can help determine if HRT is right for you.

What are the signs you need hormone replacement therapy?

Common signs of hormonal imbalance include persistent fatigue and low energy levels, mood swings, anxiety, or depression, as well as unexplained weight gain and difficulty losing weight. Many individuals also experience reduced libido, sexual dysfunction, and trouble sleeping, often accompanied by frequent night sweats. Additionally, brain fog and difficulty concentrating can make daily tasks feel overwhelming, further impacting overall well-being.

How does hormone replacement therapy work?

Hormone replacement therapy involves replenishing declining hormone levels through customized treatments, including bioidentical hormones, injections, patches, or creams.
