Hormone Therapy

Aging can make us feel not like ourselves. Luckily Palmetto Women's Health is here to help.

Aging and Hormone Imbalances

Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone play key roles in regulating essential bodily functions. However, as we age, our bodies naturally decrease hormone production and the number of hormone receptors on cell surfaces decrease as well. Female bodies experience an all time decrease in estrogen production as they reach menopause and male bodies experience a similar decrease in testosterone after reaching andropause. Hormone imbalances can also be caused by a variety of other factors like stress, pregnancy, chemotherapy, certain medications like brith control, eating disorders, and more. Luckily, Dr. Frankel has been working with her patients for decades to help them handle their symptoms of hormone imbalances.
