Hormone therapy (also referred to as hormone replacement therapy) has become the treatment of choice for restoring hormonal balance and reducing or eliminating the signs and symptoms that classically accompany aging. From the discomforts of menopause in women, such as hot flashes, weight gain, and mood swings to the unwanted effects of andropause in men, including muscle loss, fatigue, and erectile dysfunction, Bioidentical hormones have been proven effective.
