Primary Causes
- Natural decline in hormone production
- Removal or damage of glands due to surgery/disease
- Congenital disorders present from birth
Hormones are crucial chemical messengers that regulate many essential bodily functions. When hormone levels drop below optimal ranges, people may experience potentially serious medical conditions and symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Fortunately, hormone therapy can help restore balance.
Hormone deficiency develops when glands like the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals or gonads do not produce adequate amounts of key hormones. Both men and women are susceptible, especially with aging. Common causes include:
When doctors identify a hormone imbalance through comprehensive blood tests and evaluation of signs and symptoms, they can develop customized treatment plans involving medication and lifestyle changes.
There are two primary forms of hormone treatment:
Hormone therapy typically begins with the lowest effective dose, which is gradually adjusted over 3-6 months to achieve ideal levels based on ongoing blood tests and patient feedback about lingering symptoms. Patients also receive guidance on supporting healthy lifestyle changes.
Follow-up tests are needed periodically to ensure hormones remain balanced within specified ranges for each person. Doctors modify prescriptions as needed if levels become too high or low over time.
