Are you experiencing hair loss or feeling overly fatigued? These are indications that you may be suffering from a hormonal imbalance. Can Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) help your hair grow and increase energy? Studies completed on HRT suggest that it can be somewhat effective for both issues.
As we get older, decreasing hormone levels are inevitable. The production of hormones tend to decline and contribute to the effects associated with what we consider “normal aging.” These symptoms often include hair loss and lack of energy. Hormonal replacement is needed as we age to counteract the impact of unflattering and sometimes, debilitating symptoms.
Hormonal replacement is quite controversial and not a “one size fits all” form of therapy. There are many aspects to consider before a physician contemplates using this type of treatment, even for something as simple as hair loss and fatigue. Extensive knowledge of how all hormones interrelate, the patient’s genetic makeup, health condition, nutritional habits, medical history, along with their current stress levels, should all be taken into consideration. Hormone Replacement Therapy may be controversial, as with all advanced medical treatments, but HRT has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. All things considered, the use of HRT for hair growth and an increase in energy can be of great benefit when used within safe parameters.
When it comes to hair growth, HRT, is not only a common form of treatment, it has proven to be extremely successful. Keep in mind, it does carry with it a vast array of side effects. These can span the gamut from uncomfortable to life threatening. For women who are menopausal or post-menopausal, there is a lower risk of harmful side effects. Those who have thinning hair, baldness or suffer from alopecia, may greatly benefit from HRT. With this type of therapy, hair seems to grow back healthier and with a greater degree of thickness. Women who experience excessive hair growth in unwanted areas can have the hormones adjusted accordingly.
As for an increase in energy, Hormone Replacement Therapy does this by increasing the metabolic rate. This reduces fatigue and increases the energy level. The advantage of increased energy is that it can invigorate you. In turn, your ability to exercise improves which will help decrease body fat and increase muscle mass. When you have more energy, look great and feel good about yourself, you are more likely to have a greater sense of wellbeing. Studies have shown that when this happens, some individuals have experienced an increase of self-confidence, an enhanced sex drive and feel more vibrant.
Growing your hair and increasing your energy are great benefits to any treatment. However, if you are suffering from a hormonal imbalance, Hormone Replacement Therapy may prove a viable option.
