Hormone Replacement Therapy

What are the symptoms of low hormone levels in women?

Beginning in your 30s (sometimes even in your 20s), your reproductive hormone levels, namely estrogen, begin to naturally decline. This drop is especially pronounced as you transition through perimenopause and menopause, which signal the end of your reproductive years.

While some women are unaffected by the hormone deficit, others struggle with moderate-to-severe symptoms that include:

• Weight gain
• Thinning hair
• Lack of energy
• Vaginal dryness
• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Lowered libido
• Sleep issues
• Cognitive difficulties, such as lack of focus
• Loss of bone mass

Again, women react differently to declining hormone levels, but if your life is altered by the deficit, Dr. Cherukupally may have just the solution you need with hormone replacement therapy.

What are the symptoms of low hormone levels in men?

While not as pronounced as women, men, too, experience a natural decline in their reproductive hormone levels, namely testosterone. As well, some men have health conditions that can affect their hormone levels. However the deficit occurred, it can leave you with many of the following symptoms of low T, the common name for low testosterone levels.

• Loss of muscle mass
• Erectile dysfunction
• Lowered libido
• Increase in fat
• Thinning hair
• Mood changes

If you’re just not feeling quite like yourself, it’s worth having Dr. Cherukupally check your hormone levels to see if the cause stems from there.

Why would I need hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy is the use of hormones to help resolve the symptoms related to hormonal imbalance or decline in hormone production in both men and women. 

With hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Cherukupally is able to restore hormonal balance in your body, allowing you to feel and look more like yourself again. BHRT treatments include pellets, creams, lotions, injections, gels, sprays, or tablets that all work to raise your hormone levels.
