Both HRT and TRT can offer significant benefits, such as improved quality of life and reduced symptoms, but they also come with potential risks.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

HRT therapy is commonly used by women during perimenopause and menopause to address symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. It can also help prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of certain cancers. HRT typically involves the use of estrogen, often combined with progesterone, and may also include testosterone.

TRT is primarily used in men to address symptoms associated with low testosterone. Low testosterone symptoms can be varied and affect different aspects of a person's health, including physical, mental, and sexual functioning. Common symptoms include low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, mood changes (like depression or irritability), difficulty concentrating, and loss of muscle mass.

Benefits & Risk

Both HRT and TRT can offer significant benefits, such as improved quality of life and reduced symptoms, but they also come with potential risks. For example, HRT may increase the risk of breast cancer, stroke, and blood clots, while TRT can cause erythrocytosis, liver abnormalities, and potential cardiovascular events. It is important to monitor lab work regularly.
