What does hormone replacement therapy mean?

Answer 1

Hormone therapy is used when a person is experiencing hormonal imbalances, such as women in menopause. It can help relieve menopause symptoms that can be so troublesome for women.

In Menopause, hormonal levels drop causing a lot of painful or irritating symptoms. Taking hormones can make a person feel younger, relieving the symptoms of aging and raising the energy levels.

There are two types of hormones: synthetic and bioidentical. Synthetic are created entirely in a laboratory, while bioidentical hormones are identical to the natural hormones found in a woman's body.

Bioidentical hormones aren't for everyone though; talk to your doctor to see if they would help you.

MORE ABOUT HRT:

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) replaces the critical, key hormones that your body stops producing after your peak child bearing years; usually about 35-40 years old. When that production reaches a critical low, the body responds with over 40 typical aging symptoms. Hot flashes & night sweats, insomnia, fatigue & joint pain, weight gain, anxiety and depression are also common symptoms.

There are many creams, patches, health food store and Internet potions and concoctions that for the most part don't work. If you are seriously uncomfortable and want serious medicine that will get rid of the symptoms and give you relief, please search for Pellet therapy HRT.

Pellet therapy is done by MEDICALLY inserting a small pellet of 100% natural pharmaceutical grade Testosterone or estrogen under the skin. The pellet then slowly devolves and is absorbed by the body, replenishing the key hormones the body is deficit in. The pellets last up to 90 days and don't spike the body or create a hormone roller coaster, but do remove the symptoms & give relief, energy, sleep, relief from joint pain, insomnia and Hot flashes.
