What Age Can You Start Hormone Therapy?

People of any gender are susceptible to decreasing hormone levels as their body continues to age. This decrease can contribute to several symptoms of aging, including changes in metabolism, loss of libido, and fatigue. If you are struggling with any of these or other age-related symptoms, hormone replacement therapy may be right for you.

What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) helps treat and prevent aging-related symptoms such as fatigue, loss of libido, and symptoms of menopause. This versatile treatment can be in the form of a pill or an injectable. Some of the types of hormone replacement therapy include:

• Female Hormone Optimization with estrogen and progesterone
• Male Hormone Optimization with testosterone
• Thyroid hormones
• Human growth hormone

What Age Can You Start Hormone Therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy can not only be useful in reversing aging-related symptoms but can also be an essential treatment to help prevent them. You can start hormone replacement therapy as early as 30 if you wish to delay some of the uncomfortable symptoms of aging. However, you may also start as soon as you begin to experience symptoms. 

What Results Can I See With Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy aims to replace or optimize the hormones already present in your body so you can feel vibrant and refreshed once again. The benefits you experience from hormone replacement therapy will vary depending on the type of treatment you receive. 

Hormone replacement therapy may provide the following benefits:

• Relief from symptoms of menopause
• Osteoporosis prevention
• Increased libido
• Improved energy levels and reduced fatigue
• Maintaining healthy metabolism 

Typically, patients will begin to feel the results of their treatment after just a few weeks. No recovery period is necessary after treatment, so you can enjoy the antiaging benefits of hormone replacement therapy without disrupting your schedule.
