Hone Health and Hormone Replacement Therapy - Why it matters
WHAT IS HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (HRT)?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for men aims to restore and maintain hormone balance with hormones that have similar chemical structures to the hormones produced by the human body.
Hormones guide our bodies through many vital functions, such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction. Over time, the production of testosterone and other hormones declines, and our bodies run far less efficiently. It can be age, the environment, or stress. Low testosterone affects almost 40% of men aged 45 and older and could contribute to fatigue, low sex drive, reduced lean muscle mass, irritability, and depression.
According to recent research, most men feel improvement in symptoms as quickly as three to six weeks after beginning HRT.
WHY IT MATTERS
Access to healthcare, specifically specialized healthcare, is critically important. Topics such as hormone imbalances are ones that some men have a hard time addressing because it can be viewed by some as a polarizing topic. Providing a platform that is seamless for men across the country to receive the necessary treatment to improve their overall quality of life is important for them, as well as the people around them.
