What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

HRT involves supplementing hormones that the body no longer produces at optimal levels. For women, HRT commonly includes estrogen and progesterone to alleviate symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings, and decreased bone density. For men, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) helps address low testosterone, which can lead to fatigue, reduced libido, and loss of muscle mass.

Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalances
Women with hormonal imbalances often experience:

• Mood swings and irritability

• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight

• Vaginal dryness and sexual discomfort

• Night sweats and hot flashes

• Fatigue and low energy

• Decreased libido and sexual dysfunction

• Brain fog or memory difficulties

 

Perimenopause and Menopause
Women in perimenopause may experience fluctuating hormone levels years before the onset of menopause. Early symptoms such as irregular periods, sleep issues, and emotional changes can often be effectively managed with HRT. By restoring balance during this transitional stage, Dr. Pierre helps patients maintain a higher quality of life as they approach menopause.
