Hormone Replacement Therapy Specialist in Miami Beach, FL

Hormone replacement therapy, known as HRT for short, is focused on addressing hormonal imbalances, such as low estrogen or testosterone levels. HRT is most commonly recommended to address symptoms of menopause, such as night sweats, mood swings, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness. By addressing imbalances with estrogen, progesterone, or a combination of both, HRT can relieve frustrating symptoms and boost wellness.

Furthermore, HRT isn’t limited to menopause; it can also be beneficial for men entering andropause and those experiencing hormonal deficiencies due to underlying medical conditions. For men experiencing a decline in testosterone levels, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can be used to relieve symptoms like fatigue, decreased libido, and muscle loss.

There are various forms of HRT, including pills, patches, gels, and injections, so your doctor will tailor your treatment to your specific needs and preferences. If you’re interested in HRT, our dedicated team of experts is here to help you weigh the benefits and considerations of this treatment to decide whether it’s right for you.

Some of the signs that you could benefit from HRT include:

• Low sex drive – If you’ve noticed a significant drop in your interest in intimacy, it could be due to hormonal changes related to andropause or menopause.
• Sleep disturbances – Chronic insomnia and other sleep problems can stem from hormonal imbalances. HRT is especially effective at addressing sleep problems related to the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.
• Mood swings – If you’re experiencing intense emotional highs and lows without any clear reason, your hormones might be to blame. HRT can alleviate the mood changes caused by hormonal imbalances.
• Hair loss – In men and women, hormonal shifts can cause hair loss or thinning.
• Muscle or joint aches – Aching muscles and joints can be more than just a sign of aging; these symptoms may be warning signs that your hormones are out of balance.

In addition to these signs, other symptoms like unexplained weight gain, fatigue, and memory problems can also affect you if you have a hormonal imbalance. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, the HRT specialist at Advanced Aesthetic Wellness can help you successfully address them.

Your HRT treatment plan will be carefully tailored to your unique needs, so the specific length of your treatment will depend on the underlying health concerns being treated. For some, HRT lasts for a few months, while it may continue for several years in other cases. The duration of hormone therapy is influenced by factors including your age, the nature of your symptoms, and how well you respond to the treatment.

When HRT is used to manage the acute symptoms of menopause, it is usually prescribed for 2 to 5 years. In contrast, when HRT is administered to patients diagnosed with certain conditions, such as hypogonadism or prostate cancer, it is typically prescribed for 3 years or less.

Hormone therapy is highly successful, but its effectiveness largely depends on the underlying condition being addressed and the patient’s response to the therapy. For menopause-related symptoms like mood swings, night sweats, and vaginal dryness, HRT has a success rate of around 80 to 90%, providing significant relief for the majority of women. Many women find that their symptoms diminish significantly or disappear altogether, greatly improving their quality of life.

When it comes to andropause symptoms, testosterone replacement therapy also shows promising results. Many men experience notable improvements in energy levels, mood, sexual function, and general wellness. Research indicates that a majority of men undergoing TRT report satisfaction with this treatment approach, with success rates around 70 to 75%.
