What is Hormone Replacement and Who Needs It?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment used to alleviate symptoms caused by lower hormone levels in the body. Although lower hormones are a natural part of aging, there are other causes that could create hormone imbalance in men and women of all ages. Menopause is one of the most commonly cited maladies associated with the lowering of hormones but there are other reasons for low hormones, resulting in symptoms that can reduce the quality of life for both men and women as they age.

Initially, many assumed that there was a correlation between the use of non-bioidentical estrogen and progestin and increased breast cancer and heart attack. However, as these assumptions were negated, new studies opened the door for more authentic BHRT which led to a 2008 hormone replacement study in which it was found that BHRT with bioidentical estrogen and progesterone (as opposed to synthetic therapies), had as much risk for heart attack and breast cancer as those who took no BHRT.

Since the 60’s popularity of HRT, science has developed biologically identical hormone treatments for both men and women. In addition to the medical administration of BHRT, monitoring of hormone levels and necessary adjustments are made to ensure this treatment is beneficial to clients.

What are hormones?

Hormones are created by the endocrine system in the bodies of males and females.

For men, testosterone is the most common hormone and is responsible for much more than his body hair, deep voice, and sexuality. Testosterone plays an important role in gender differentiation, pubertal changes, male potency, muscle and fat distribution, sperm production, and much more.

Low levels of testosterone in men can result in:

Decreased Libido
Weaker and fewer erections
Increase in body fat
Lower energy
Reduced muscle mass
Depression
Anemia (low iron)
Loss of calcium from bone

For women, Estrogens are vital for not only the development of female sex organs, but – as women age and reach menopause – estrogen levels decline, resulting in a number of problematic issues.

Low Estrogen levels can lead to:

Mood swings
Memory loss/problems focusing/irritability
Fatigue
Hot flashes
Night sweats
Stress
Anxiety and depression
Increased risk of cardiovascular problems
Osteoporosis
Dry skin
Increased risk of urinary tract infections
Vaginal discomfort and a variety of other uncomfortable problems

There is more than one reason for people to experience a lower hormone level. In addition to the normal effects of aging, certain illnesses, treatments, and conditions can cause hormone imbalance. Aside from pills, BHRT comes in many varieties, and the hormone therapy you will receive at the Colorado Springs location of Apollo Medical Associates will be one that is chosen specifically for your individual needs.
