Hormone Replacement Therapy Q&A

What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment that involves supplementing or replacing hormones in your body that have decreased due to various reasons, such as aging, surgery, or medical conditions. The primary hormones targeted in HRT are estrogen and progesterone in women and testosterone in men.

What issues does hormone replacement therapy address?

HRT is commonly used to address a range of issues, particularly those related to hormonal imbalance or deficiency.

In women, it’s frequently prescribed to alleviate symptoms of menopause, including:

  • Hot flashes
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Mood swings
  • Sleep disturbances

HRT can also help prevent bone loss and reduce your risk of osteoporosis, as well as lower your risk of colorectal cancer and heart disease in certain cases.

How is hormone replacement therapy administered?

Your Limitless Health Spa provider administers HRT through various methods, including:

  • Oral pills
  • Patches
  • Creams
  • Gels
  • Injections
  • Implants

Your administration method ultimately depends on factors such as your preferences, the specific hormones being replaced, and your desired outcomes of the therapy.

When will I notice the results of hormone replacement therapy?

The timeline for noticing results from hormone replacement therapy varies depending on several factors, including your hormone levels, the method of administration, and the specific symptoms being addressed. 

You may experience relief from symptoms relatively quickly, within a few days or weeks of starting HRT, while others may require several months to notice significant improvements. Be sure to follow your prescribed treatment plan and communicate regularly with your Limitless Health Spa provider so they can monitor your progress and adjust your therapy as needed.
