Hormone Replacement Therapy

Dr. Richard Bligh MD's Top 5 Reasons to Consider Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

1. Lack of Energy
   As we age, hormone levels begin to decline, resulting in feelings of increased fatigue. Daily activities that were once enjoyable may feel more laborious. While testing is required to identify which hormones a patient is lacking, decreased energy can often be remedied with BHRT.
2. Declining Sex Drive
   After 40, 35 percent of men's testosterone levels are low. Women's testosterone levels also drop and they too may notice a decrease in interest in sex. Dr. Richard Bligh MD can test for decreased testosterone, the hormone that plays a key role in a healthy libido.
3. Decrease in Muscle Mass
   "Even those who are working out and doing good things they should, they may notice an accumulation of body fat in spite of it," Dr. Richard Bligh MD says. Hormones, such as testosterone can help people retain muscle mass as they age.
4. Depression or Foggy Cognitive Function
   "Hormone deficiencies can cause a new onset of depression in men and women who used to be able to multi-task with no problem now may find their thought process is foggy," Dr. Richard Bligh MD says. Bioidentical Hormone replacement therapy can help.
5. To Finally Take Control of Your Own Health
   Most doctors don't screen aggressively for hormone deficiencies as they relate to age management. "Patients are realizing the current system isn't living up to their expectations," Dr. Richard Bligh MD says. "They want to take a proactive role in their health and quality of life."
