Both men and women can experience weight gain, brain fog, and dry skin as a result of hormonal imbalance. Both sexes might also experience a lack of interest in sex.

In terms of sexual health, hormone replacement therapy helps improve a woman’s natural vaginal lubrication, which reduces friction and makes sex more enjoyable. For men, hormone replacement therapy can help with erectile dysfunction. Both sexes benefit from enhanced libido.

While reduced hormone production is a natural part of the aging process, there is no need to accept the symptoms as inevitable. With proper treatment, hormone replacement therapy can reverse many of the symptoms of declining hormone production and help both men and women enjoy a healthy sexual connection.
