HRT Doctor Boca Raton

Dealing with low hormone levels can cause a number of health concerns and side effects. Both men and women can be impacted by low hormone levels, and the effects can make it difficult to participate in your favorite activities. If you're struggling with issues related to hormonal fluctuations and lower than average levels, you may be considering treatment options, such as hormone replacement therapy. Learn more about this treatment option and how it can benefit your health and wellbeing.

What is HRT?

HRT, or hormone replacement therapy, is a treatment option that helps restore the hormonal levels in male and female patients. This type of therapy can typically treat low testosterone in men and low estrogen in women. HRT involves replacing the hormones in the human body as naturally as possible, using synthetic hormones that closely match what the body naturally produces. These hormones can be applied to the skin topically via creams and patches, injected intramuscularly, taken orally, or placed just below the skin in the form of pellets.

Low hormone levels can occur as the result of a number of causes, including the natural aging process and situational experiences. When a man reaches the age of 30, his testosterone levels will begin to slowly but steadily decline by about 1% per year. As a result, men over the age of 45 most commonly deal with the side effects of low testosterone. Aging isn't the only cause of Low-T — men can also experience this health concern as the result of:

• Short-term and long-term illnesses
• Use of certain medications
• Obesity or extreme weight loss
• Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (Type 2)
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Pituitary tumors or dysfunction
• Alcohol abuse
• Liver cirrhosis
• AIDS/HIV
• Inflammatory conditions
• Infection or injury of the testes
• Kallman syndrome
