Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many vital body functions. They are produced by the endocrine glands and released into the bloodstream, traveling to different tissues and organs. Hormones influence metabolism, growth and development, sexual function, reproduction, mood and more. Hormone imbalance or deficiency can lead to various symptoms and health problems.
There are several potential reasons for hormonal imbalances:
Fortunately, hormone therapy can help restore optimal hormone levels and dramatically improve wellbeing.
The first step is getting tested by an experienced hormone specialist to determine which hormones are deficient or in excess. Reputable clinics like Hormone Health Clinic offer advanced hormone testing and analysis.
Based on the test results, the hormone doctor will create a customized treatment plan with bioidentical hormone therapies to restore balance. Ongoing testing and monitoring of treatment progress are crucial as well.
Hormone replacement therapy helps alleviate unpleasant symptoms of hormonal decline associated with aging or health conditions. Benefits of properly administered bioidentical hormones include:
