What female condition may require hormone replacement therapy?

Hormones effect the whole body. Hormones have an impact on the body's ability to cope with stress, fight disease, and metabolize calories. Though hormones typically bring to mind thought of reproduction and sex, hormonal imbalances in both men and women are implicated in a wide variety of symptoms that could be mistaken for other disease states and illnesses. In men, hormonal imbalance can have a physical effect as well as effecting the mood. Depression, anxiety, and anger or irritability can all be symptoms of hormone imbalance, particularly if mood problems accompany other symptoms like difficulty urinating or a lower libido. Difficulty losing weight and unexplained weight gain or weight loss, reduced muscular strength, water retention, and bloating may also signify that there is a hormonal imbalance in the body. Headaches, trouble focusing, fatigue, and low blood sugar as well as allergies can all be brought on by hormonal imbalance in males. In males, restoring hormone balance can promote a heightened sense of well-being both physically and emotionally. Women experience a different set of symptoms related to hormonal imbalance. Though hormonal imbalance has been primarily associated with menopause in women, it is also the cause of a lot of mood problems and symptoms of PMS. Women may experience difficulty sleeping, night sweats and hot flashes. Sex drive in women is also effected by hormonal imbalance. Women may also experience fatigue, foggy thinking, and insomnia. Endometriosis and fibrosis are health issues that are exacerbated and sometimes caused by hormonal imbalance. Both men and women can benefit from natural hormone replacement therapy to restore balance to the body. Having balanced hormones can increase quality of life and slow the aging process.

What is a male she-male called?

Your answers will vary depending on your definition of "she-male." I'll assume that you were referring to the slang term for a genetically male individual transitioning or undergoing surgery/ hormonal treatments to become (take on the physical characteristics) female. In this case, you can refer to them as a tranni (slang for transsexual).


Can you take a hormone pill to give you a bigger butt?

No, you should not. Hormonal drugs are for using to correct hormonal imbalance or to prevent or cause pregnancy, not for shape issues. Whatever shaping effect a hormonal drug may provide will be largely surpassed by the negative consequences on your liver and hormonal system. Hormonal imbalance caused by excess of hormones might cause exactly the opposite effect of what you want to obtain, including masculinization and body/facial hair grow. It will also expose you to cancer risk.Under the supervision of an endocrinologist, male-to-female transgender patients are given hormones for obtaining some level of feminization including the typical female curves, however, those patients have not already their own female hormones (estrogens) in their systems and therefore are not at risk of estrogen dominance or other hormonal imbalance. Furthermore, they are receiving anti-androgens (testosterone suppressors) for keeping a balance instead of a competition for hormonal dominance. For a biological female, hormonal drugs must not be used for shaping issues as the risks outdo the minimal results.
