Hormone Replacement Therapy Q&A

What are the benefits of hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy, more commonly known as “HRT,” is a solution for stabilizing your hormones and getting them back up to optimal levels. Just because your hormones naturally plummet as you age, especially with women going through menopause, doesn’t mean you have to learn to live with the uncomfortable side effects.

Getting started on hormone replacement therapy is beneficial because it can:

Minimize issues with erectile dysfunction
Resolve poor concentration issues
Decrease mood swings
Boost your sex drive (libido)
Resolve vaginal dryness

But HRT goes a step further. Something you may not realize is that you risk losing bone mass as you age because of hormonal fluctuations. This leads to osteoporosis, which dramatically increases your risk of brittle bones and fractures. Starting hormone replacement therapy can decrease your chances of bone loss and slow down the progression of osteoporosis.

Which type of hormone replacement therapy do I need?

At Calvary Medical Clinic, your treatment begins with a thorough evaluation and expanded laboratory testing. Your provider spends time getting to know you and understanding all of your symptoms. Once they get your lab results back, they may recommend getting started on one or more of the following HRT formularies:

Vaginal suppositories or creams
Oral medications
Skin patches
Injections

The team has you come into the clinic every few months for a blood draw to evaluate how well your hormone replacement therapy plan is working. Throughout the course of your treatment, they can make any necessary adjustments.

How long do I need to stay on hormone replacement therapy?

Even though hormone replacement therapy is highly beneficial for stabilizing your hormone levels, it isn’t something you need to stay on for too long. Your provider tailors your hormone replacement plan to your needs, but most HRT plans last for about 1-2 years.

Rarely should anyone be on hormone replacement therapy for more than five years, because of the increased risk of clots and other blood problems over time.
