Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormonal changes affect both men and women as they age, and with them come physical and emotional challenges that can significantly diminish your quality of life. While women go through perimenopause and menopause, men face similar disruptions through andropause. Hot flashes, fatigue, mood changes, decreased libido and loss of muscle mass are just some of the many symptoms you may experience.

At Aesthetic Polyclinic, we offer hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for anyone experiencing hormonal imbalances. If you are a resident of Abu Dhabi, Dubai or Al Ain, schedule a consultation at the Aesthetic Polyclinic today to explore your treatment options.

What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

HRT is a medical treatment that replenishes hormones your body has stopped producing in sufficient quantities. For women, this typically involves estrogen (and sometimes progesterone) replacement during menopause. For men, testosterone replacement therapy helps compensate for the decline in testosterone levels that occurs with age. Along with alleviating the symptoms of menopause and andropause, HRT may also help protect against many age-related diseases.

How Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?

HRT involves taking medications containing synthetic or bioidentical hormones. Your provider will determine the most appropriate delivery method based on your needs. Hormones come in many forms, including patches, gels, tablets and pellets. Treatment usually starts with a lower dose that can be adjusted over time as your needs evolve.

Estrogen Replacement Therapy

Estrogen regulates a woman’s reproductive system and other physiological processes. It has wide-ranging effects on the body, including maintaining bone density and skin elasticity, supporting cardiovascular health, and helping to manage mood and cognitive function.

As women approach menopause, estrogen production declines. This natural and gradual decrease can trigger various unpleasant symptoms, such as hot flashes and mood changes. Reduced estrogen levels can also affect long-term health, particularly bone density and heart health.

HRT supplements your body’s declining estrogen production, helping maintain the balanced hormone levels you need for optimal health and comfort.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Although we often associate it with male characteristics, testosterone is crucial for both men’s and women’s health. In men, this hormone maintains muscle mass, bone density, libido and emotional well-being. It also supports cognitive function and helps regulate fat distribution throughout the body.

Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, particularly after men reach age 40. This gradual decrease can lead to reduced energy, decreased muscle mass, mood changes and diminished sexual function.

HRT can help restore testosterone to more balanced levels, supporting your body’s functions and helping you maintain vitality as you age.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy

HRT is an effective way to manage menopause and andropause symptoms and prevent issues that can result from declining hormone levels. The benefits you may receive from this treatment include:

Relief from hot flashes and night sweats
Better sleep quality
Reduced anxiety and improved mood
Protection against bone loss
Increased energy and vitality
Improved muscle mass and strength
Increased libido and performance
Cardiovascular health protection

Who Is a Candidate for Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Nearly all adults experiencing age-related hormonal changes may benefit from HRT. Ideal candidates include:

Women undergoing natural menopause, which usually happens between ages 45 and 55
Men noticing signs of testosterone decline, usually after age 40
Younger adults with documented hormone deficiencies

Like any medical treatment, HRT is not suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions or history may preclude treatment. Your provider will carefully review your medical history, current health status and specific symptoms to determine whether hormone replacement is appropriate for you.

What Is the HRT Treatment Process?

Consultation

Your journey begins with a consultation with our healthcare providers. You will speak with a doctor about your symptoms, medical history and treatment options. Your provider may recommend undergoing certain tests to identify the specific imbalances in your body and ensure there are no underlying conditions going undetected.

Treatment

After establishing your baseline hormone levels, your provider will develop an HRT protocol tailored to your needs. The recommended delivery method will depend on your current health and preferences. Most patients start with the lowest possible dose. If you continue to have uncomfortable symptoms, your doctor will gradually increase your dose until you notice an improvement.

Results

Most people notice a reduction in their symptoms within a few weeks of starting HRT. The benefits typically continue to improve over the following months until maximum improvement is reached. You will have regular follow-up appointments to monitor your hormone levels, assess symptom improvement and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

How Long Will I Need to Undergo Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Because every individual is different, it is important to speak to your doctor about the recommended duration of your treatment. Some patients undergo treatment for a short period to address specific symptoms, while others continue their treatment long-term with carefully monitored doses. You will have regular follow-up appointments so your provider can evaluate your progress and adjust your treatment plan if necessary.

Your treatment timeline will depend on your:

Age and overall health
Symptom severity
Response to treatment
Personal health goals

The decision to continue or taper off HRT is highly personal and should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider.
