Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women Q&A

How does hormone replacement therapy for women work?

Hormone replacement therapy for women balances homone levels to counteract a deficiency. Hormones natually decrease as women age. However, they can also decrease earlier than normal or too quickly when your body slows down its hormone production which will cause symptoms.

Because hormones control so many important processes, many women feel the effects of a hormone deficiency in the form of perimenopause symptoms such as fatigue, poor sleep, night sweats, irritability, and low libido (sexual desire). By replacing the hormones your body no longer makes with hormone replacement therapy it can alleviate those symptoms and improve your quality of life. 

Who can benefit from hormone replacement therapy for women? 

Hormone replacement therapy for women is most commonly prescribed for women experiencing symptoms as they transition into peri-menopause (phase years prior to menopause) which typically starts around age 40. However, you might experience similar symptoms of a hormone imbalance at any age, especially after a hysterectomy or oophorectomy surgery. Similar hormone imbalances can come from pituitary disorders, eating disorders, and other causes.
