What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), provided by PMA Dermatology, is a treatment that involves supplementing or replacing hormones in the body to restore hormonal balance. It is a medical approach to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances and deficiencies.
Hormone Replacement Therapy targets various body parts and systems that are influenced by hormonal activity. This includes the endocrine system, which produces and regulates hormones, and specific organs such as the ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands.
Why Hormone Replacement Therapy is used
Hormone Replacement Therapy is used for a range of conditions related to hormonal imbalances or deficiencies, including:
- Menopause: Women experiencing menopause often face a decline in estrogen and progesterone levels, leading to symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and sleep disturbances. HRT can help alleviate these symptoms and improve overall quality of life.
- Andropause: Men going through andropause, characterized by a decline in testosterone levels, may experience symptoms like fatigue, reduced libido, mood changes, and decreased muscle mass. HRT can help restore hormone levels and alleviate these symptoms.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Hormonal imbalances can occur at any age and may lead to various symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, acne, weight gain, hair loss, and mood swings. HRT can help rebalance hormone levels and alleviate these symptoms.
- Post-Hysterectomy: After a hysterectomy, women may experience hormonal imbalances due to the removal of the uterus and/or ovaries. HRT can help restore hormone levels and manage related symptoms.
Who is a good candidate for Treatment?
Good candidates for Hormone Replacement Therapy include individuals who:
- Are experiencing symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances or deficiencies.
- Have undergone a thorough evaluation and diagnosis by a healthcare professional.
- Are in good overall health and do not have contraindications to HRT.
- Seek relief from symptoms that significantly impact their daily lives and well-being.
It is essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider, such as the experts at PMA Dermatology, to determine if Hormone Replacement Therapy is suitable for you.

How does it work?
Hormone Replacement Therapy involves the administration of hormones to restore balance in the body. The specific approach may vary depending on the individual’s needs and the type of hormone being replaced. Common methods of hormone administration include:
- Oral Medications: Hormones can be taken orally in the form of pills or tablets.
- Transdermal Patches: Hormones can be delivered through patches applied to the skin, allowing for gradual absorption into the bloodstream.
- Injections: Hormones can be injected directly into the muscle or subcutaneous tissue.
- Pellet Implants: Hormone pellets, small implants placed under the skin, slowly release hormones into the body over time.
The treatment plan will be customized to address your specific hormone imbalance and symptoms, aiming to restore hormonal balance and alleviate related concerns.
