Exploring Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) at Skin Deep NB
At Skin Deep NB, we believe in a holistic approach to health and wellness, which includes not only aesthetic treatments but also comprehensive medical care. One of the services we are proud to offer is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), led by Dr. Cory Preuss, who ensures personalized and effective care tailored to your needs.
Types of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
There are several forms of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), each tailored to the patient’s specific needs:
Estrogen Therapy: This is the most common form of HRT for women. It can be administered through pills, patches, gels, or vaginal rings.
Combination Therapy: For women with an intact uterus, a combination of estrogen and progesterone is often recommended to reduce the risk of uterine cancer.
Testosterone Therapy: This can be administered via injections, gels, or patches for men experiencing low testosterone levels.
Bioidentical Hormones: These hormones are chemically identical to those produced by the body. Some patients prefer them, believing they are more natural.
Considerations and Risks
While HRT can provide substantial benefits, it’s essential to consider potential risks:
Breast Cancer: Some studies have shown a slight increase in breast cancer risk with long-term estrogen and progesterone use.
Blood Clots: HRT may increase the risk of blood clots, particularly in women who smoke or have other risk factors.
Heart Disease: The relationship between HRT and heart disease is complex. Women starting HRT later in life may face different risks than those starting during menopause.
Individual Response: Each person’s response to HRT can vary. Regular monitoring and open communication with a healthcare provider are crucial.
