Best Candidates for Hormone Replacement Therapy
Men and women who have low production of sex hormones may be qualified to receive hormone replacement therapy. If the signs and symptoms are present, and there is no underlying serious medical condition, they are good to go. Basically, the symptoms include diminished libido, mood swings, high cholesterol, more body fat that muscle mass, difficulty sleeping, decreased bone density, and sexual dysfunctions.
Before the treatment, one must undergo a series of tests and assessment in order to make sure that these symptoms are truly caused by hormonal deficiencies. The doctor and the patient will both decide on the method of administration of the treatment. The rule of thumb is that, if the problem is found to be caused by low T and not just a normal part of the aging process, then you are more likely to get the treatment.
