Extraordinary Health
News and Information
Hormones play an important role in health and well-being for both men and women. When hormone levels change, they can affect everything from energy and mood to sexual health and other aspects of daily life.
In this four-part video series, Damon Dyche, MD, Urologist at McFarland Clinic, discusses hormone health and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including what research tells us, how treatment has evolved, and why an individualized, evidence-based approach to care matters.
Hormone replacement therapy may be appropriate for some patients, but treatment decisions should be individualized. If you have questions about your hormone health or whether hormone replacement therapy may be right for you, talk with your healthcare provider.
Research has raised questions about changes in hormone levels over time and the factors that may contribute to them. Dr. Dyche discusses what we know about these trends, including the potential role of environmental and lifestyle factors.
Hormone replacement therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Dr. Dyche discusses treatment options for men and women, as well as what patients can expect from laboratory testing, follow-up care, and insurance coverage.
Hormone therapy is available through a growing number of sources, but how that care is managed matters. Dr. Dyche explains the benefits of a physician-led, evidence-based approach that considers each patient's symptoms, laboratory results, medical history, risk factors, and ongoing health.
