The answer is, yes. Hormone therapy simply supplements hormones that are lacking in your body. While the hormones administered are synthetic, it helps to level out your levels, ultimately leading to increased quality of life for patients. Camelback Hormone Replacement Therapy Phoenix recommends that anyone over the age of forty begins looking into hormone therapy in order to maintain healthy levels in their body. 

Just like any other medical treatment, it is important to share medical history and concerns with your hormone specialist. People with a family history that make them susceptible to heart disease, cancer, stroke, or blood clots will want to consider any potential risks, as side effects like blood clots and stroke may arise. Another potential side effect is unusual mood changes due to the addition of hormones.

Hormone therapy is typically administered to patients who are over the age of forty. Women who are experiencing menopause or menopausal symptoms, and men who have lower levels of testosterone are all perfect candidates for the Camelback Hormone Replacement Therapy Phoenix program. Hormone therapy works as a corrective treatment to replace the hormones that the body stops making as we age. Hormone specialists are on site to ensure that you receive the best curated treatment for your specific hormone levels. 

You might benefit from hormone replacement therapy if you suffer from:

• Depression (or other mood disorders)
• Unexplained weight gain (or other thyroid issues)
• Hot flashes
• Other symptoms of menopause
• Estrogen deficiency
• Testosterone deficiency

Our hormone therapy does not treat those who are suffering from osteoporosis, though estrogen-related hormone therapy may help bone density. 

You may be a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy, but what will it actually do for you? Results will vary depending on your symptoms and treatments, but hormone therapy has been reported to help with:

• Relief from hot flashes
• Better sleep
• Increase libido
• Increase energy levels
• Increase motivation
• Mood regulation

Camelback Hormone Replacement Therapy Phoenix offers one-on-one meetings with our physicians to help you understand the benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy. Based on your current symptoms, a medical professional will advise you on your next steps to help you move forward with the process if you are someone who shows signs of low estrogen or testosterone levels. Once lab work has been completed, a hormone specialist will go over your labs with you to share the findings that will lead to your curated plan. 

Camelback Hormone Replacement Therapy Phoenix begins with speaking with one of our physicians. Typically, this looks like a patient coming in and expressing their concerns about their hormone levels, requesting a blood panel. Following a blood sample retrieval, we perform lab work in order to assess hormone levels. A hormone doctor or hormone specialist from our team will then curate a treatment that is specifically tailored to the needs of the individual. We continue to monitor hormone levels every three months in order to gauge the effectiveness of treatment, and ensure that patients’ hormones are balanced.
