Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) offers significant relief and enhances the quality of life for numerous individuals facing hormonal imbalances or deficiencies. Engaging the services of a compounding pharmacy is one of the most effective methods to optimize HRT.

Raisons d'envisager un traitement hormonal substitutif

  • Menopause and perimenopause:

    Many women, or people born female, experience symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings and vaginal dryness during the menopause or perimenopause. These symptoms are due to a drop in hormone production, particularly estrogen. HRT can alleviate these effects by replenishing hormone levels. In addition, HRT can strengthen bone density, which tends to decline with age, thus reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

  • Andropause:

    Men, or those assigned a male sex at birth, can experience a drop in testosterone levels as they age, a condition known as andropause. Symptoms can include fatigue, depression, reduced libido and muscle weakness. Hormone replacement therapy to restore testosterone levels can help restore hormonal balance and alleviate these symptoms

  • Hormone therapy for transgender people:

    For transgender people, hormone therapy is an essential aspect of the transition process. By supplementing hormones such as estrogen or testosterone, HRT helps align physical features with gender identity
