Hormone Replacement Therapy: Am I a Good Candidate?

hormone replacement therapy

Hormone levels can fluctuate dramatically. Very high levels or very low levels of a certain hormone can have a dramatic effect on how you feel and how you interact with the rest of the world. PMS, pregnancy, menopause, or other life changes can affect your hormone levels. Fortunately, hormone replacement therapy can raise hormones to normal levels and eliminate many of the negative effects. Not all people are good candidates for hormone replacement therapy. We can help you determine whether or not you are a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy.

Irregular Health Issues for Your Age

If you are experiencing hot flashes or one of the other typical menopausal symptoms at an early age, you may be a good candidate for HRT. This could actually be what is known as perimenopause. It is a condition in which hormone levels fall prematurely.

Weight Gain

Before we delve into weight gain as a possible sign that you could benefit from HRT, we must first establish that weight gain in itself does not indicate a hormonal imbalance. However, it can sometimes be a sign of a condition known as adrenal fatigue. Only medical professionals will be able to evaluate you and determine what the cause of your weight gain may be.

Previous Thyroid Issues

Lowered or heightened thyroid function can be an indicator that HRT will be effective. However, these symptoms will not always be solved with treatment. HRT can only be effective if the low thyroid function is caused by a hormonal imbalance. The only way to discover this is by consulting with a qualified professional.

Depleted Bone Mass

Individuals with depleted bone mass may be a good candidate for HRT, especially if they have not responded to other treatments. If this sounds like you, your bone mass condition may be a result of lowered hormone levels.

Hormone replacement therapy proves to be very effective for patients who display particular symptoms. If you are experiencing abnormal symptoms, make an appointment at Fort Worth Center for Pelvic Medicine to learn more about hormone replacement therapy and your other options, such as MonaLisa Touch®. It may be able to mitigate or eliminate these symptoms. Contact us today to arrange an appointment in Fort Worth.
