What is Hormone Replacement?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment used to relieve symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances or declines, most commonly associated with menopause, perimenopause, or andropause. HRT works by replenishing hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone, and/or testosterone to help restore balance in the body.
HRT can help alleviate a wide range of symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, fatigue, low libido, brain fog, sleep disturbances, and changes in skin or bone health—supporting overall well-being and quality of life.
How Hormone Replacement Works
HRT works by supplementing hormones that the body is no longer producing at optimal levels. These hormones can be delivered in several forms, including gels, patches, tablets, creams, or implants, depending on individual needs and preferences.
Treatment is carefully tailored following a comprehensive assessment, which may include a medical history review, symptom evaluation, and blood testing. The aim is to restore hormone levels to a balanced, physiological range to reduce symptoms while maintaining safety and effectiveness.
