Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Vitality, energy, optimism, and a strong sex drive are all characteristics of youthfulness. Of course, these are directly related to optimal hormone levels. Unfortunately, as we age, our hormones begin to decline, which presents unique challenges for men and women. At Mygenics, we diagnose and treat your needs with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) so you can rediscover your youth.

Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance for Women

Are you experiencing fatigue, hot flashes, decreased sex drive, weight gain, mood changes, and irritability? These are just some of the symptoms of hormonal imbalances. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for Women) can help if this relates to you.

These can be very similar, though usually not as severe as menopausal symptoms. The signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalance include:

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way! Though many patients and physicians often accept these conditions as “normal,” we can treat all of these symptoms safely and effectively using Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
