Hormone Replacement Therapy, feel like yourself again!
What is hormone replacement therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (or "HRT") provides a safe and effective way to address hormonal imbalances caused by the natural aging process or an underlying health problem. If your hormones are out of balance, it affects all aspects of your life, including your energy levels, libido, and mood.
Hormone replacement therapy restores balance to your body using natural hormones derived from plants. These hormones are very similar to the ones your body produces, ensuring minimal side effects and long-lasting, positive treatment outcomes.
Symptoms that hormone replacement therapy can help with?
At Temecula Medical Group, the team uses hormone replacement therapy to manage a variety of uncomfortable issues, including:
- Low energy
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Mood changes
- Memory loss
- Weight gain
- Sleep issues
- Low libido
- Pain during sex (in some cases)
