What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone are vital for all genders. They support several functions in your body, such as controlling your metabolism, strengthening your muscles and bones, and regulating blood sugar, blood pressure, and your immune system.
Illnesses, chronic diseases, aging, insufficient sleep, and a poor diet can reduce your hormone levels.
A decrease in hormones can lead to side effects like sexual dysfunction, fatigue, depression, energy loss, infertility, and hair loss.
Hormone therapy treats and prevents the health problems low hormones can cause.
