Understanding Hormone Replacement Therapy

How hormone replacement therapy from your doctors in Selma, TX, can enhance your life

Your hormones help your body function at its peak. Unfortunately, as you age, your hormone levels plummet. The lower hormone levels can cause all sorts of uncomfortable signs and symptoms. Your primary care doctor can provide hormone replacement therapy to help you feel like yourself again.

Drs. Anthony and Gloria Wright at Total Health Primary Care in Selma, TX, offer a wide variety of primary care services, including hormone replacement therapy, to enhance your life.

Hormone levels change during certain stages of your life. They increase during puberty and pregnancy. They also decrease during menopause, or if you have had a hysterectomy.

When your hormone levels decrease, you may experience:

  • Weight gain
  • Belly fat
  • Sleep issues
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Decreased energy
  • Anxiety or depression
  • Brain fog
  • Memory issues
  • Thinning skin, hair, and nails

Your bones may also become thinner and more porous, a condition known as osteoporosis. This makes you more susceptible to fractured or broken bones.

Fortunately, hormone replacement therapy can help you and your body feel better. Today’s hormone replacement therapy is far advanced. It’s called Bio-identical hormone replacement because it’s identical in structure to natural human hormones.

Bio-identical hormone replacement offers many important advantages like these:

  • Long-lasting treatment because they can last from 3 to 5 months
  • Fewer side-effects because they are individually dosed
  • Extensive research and testing for safety and effectiveness
  • Maintaining a steady stream of hormones in your blood

Bio-identical hormone therapy can also make bones stronger, helping to prevent osteoporosis, broken bones, and fractures. They also won’t increase your risk of having a heart attack, a stroke, or forming blood clots like conventional hormone replacement therapy can.

You deserve to look and feel your best, no matter what your age or stage of life. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy can help.
