All The Hormones

Does your hormonal well seem to be running dry? It happens to nearly all of us. Some women have had hysterectomies. Men may have experienced gonadal injuries or infections. For many men and women, though, hormonal fluctuations are simply due to age. However it happens, balancing your hormones is possible when you visit a clinic that specializes in treating hormonal imbalances.

How do I know it’s Hormone-Related?

Hormonal imbalances look different for men and women, and, of course, symptoms fluctuate between individual people. Women may experience

  • The dreaded hot flashes
  • Menstrual irregularities and eventual cessation
  • Hair growth in new and exciting places
  • Insomnia
  • Vaginal dryness and/or painful intercourse
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) or urinary incontinence
  • Brain fog
  • Depression or anxiety
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Changes in skin texture

Male symptoms of hormonal imbalance are:

  • Loss of lean muscle mass
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of libido
  • Fatigue
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Low energy
  • Irritability or depressed mood
  • Weight gain, especially around the abdomen

Some of these symptoms overlap while some of them are relevant to each gender. Not everyone will experience all symptoms, but even just a few of them can be detrimental to one’s quality of life.

What Can You do?

There are traditional hormone replacement therapies available, but they are not customized to individual needs. Although they can be effective, bioidentical hormone therapy, found at an integrative hormone clinic like Rose Canyon Health and Wellness, is more effective because the treatment is created according to what your body needs instead of being a generalized, one-size-fits-all treatment.

Bioidentical hormones are an effective treatment option that generally offers:

  • Fewer side effects than traditional HRT
  • More effective treatment because they mimic the body’s own hormones more closely than synthetic hormones
  • More individualized, tailored treatment options

Synthetic hormones are not always metabolized as effectively as bioidentical because they are not as close to our body’s hormones as bioidentical hormones are. Bioidentical hormones are very close to the “real thing.”
