As we get older, our body naturally makes less hormones. In men, testosterone levels decrease, while women will experience lower amounts of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and other hormones. The changes in hormone levels affects your physical health and emotional well-being. At North Cypress Women’s Center, board-certified (gynecological) surgeon Dr. Farhina Imtiaz offers hormone replacement therapy for men and women in Houston and surrounding areas of Texas, including Cypress, Sugarland, and Katy.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been used to help women manage the symptoms of menopause. Over the years, clinicians have learned through practical experience and research how to enhance the benefits of hormone management. Today, many hormone combinations are available for men and women who experience the effects of changing hormone levels.
Although any clinician can prescribe HRT, the best health outcomes are experienced by men and women who work closely with experienced gynecologists. Dr. Imtiaz and her peers have the experience that is needed to find the best balance of supplements and medications without inducing unwanted side effects.
