Hormone therapy involves using medications to supplement hormones when your body is not producing enough on its own. As we age or due to medical conditions, our hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing these hormones can provide immense relief.
At Hormone Harmony Clinic in London, our experienced medical team specializes in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help both men and women correct hormone deficiencies. We offer personalized care including consultations, testing, prescriptions, monitoring, and more to help you feel your best.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may have a hormonal imbalance that could benefit from HRT:
Women commonly experience imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Men's most common deficiency is low testosterone, known as “low T.”
Hormones affect nearly every system and function in the body. When levels fall out of optimal range, you may develop associated symptoms and risks for certain diseases. HRT can rebalance your hormonal milieu to resolve symptoms.
The first step is diagnostic testing to determine where your hormone levels stand. We offer comprehensive panels to accurately evaluate:
Blood, saliva, or urine samples can diagnose hormonal deficiencies or excesses. Based on your lab results, we custom design HRT regimens targeting the hormones your body lacks.
Accurately diagnosing hormone problems is crucial before pursuing treatment. Randomly taking hormones without testing can worse symptoms or cause new issues. Our experts interpret intricate hormone lab reports to pinpoint where your imbalances arise.
Several forms of hormone replacement therapy can rectify deficiencies:
Tablets, capsules, or sublingual drops can restore estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, and DHEA by mouth. Oral HRT is convenient and easily adjusted. We provide brand name bioidentical hormones tailored to your needs.
Transdermal preparations deliver hormones through skin contact. Gels, creams, sprays, and patches contain bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone to rebalance levels. This avoids digestive breakdown and first-pass liver metabolism of oral therapy.
Testosterone injections or subcutaneous pellets implanted under the skin supply sustained hormone release for several months. Injections provide the most precise dosing and rapid benefits but require frequent administration. Pellets are convenient yet dose adjustments require minor surgery.
Ring inserts, creams and tablets supply estrogen directly to vaginal tissue. Low estrogen causes atrophy of these sensitive tissues, leading to painful dryness, irritation, and painful sex. Vaginal estrogen alleviates these local symptoms efficiently.
We individualize treatment based on your lab results, symptoms, lifestyle considerations, and preferences. Various combinations can effectively restore balance. Our experts help you determine which option may work best for your needs.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals match their external physical characteristics with their gender identity. While it is commonly assumed hormone therapy is only used for transition, it is also used to treat medical conditions like menopause, infertility, and hormone imbalance in both men and women.
Getting your hormone levels optimized with replacement therapy offers widespread benefits:
Balancing your hormonal milieu with HRT helps minimize symptoms while maximizing your health as you age. In both men and women, regulating hormone levels provides advantages from head to toe. Our patients often describe benefits within weeks of starting therapy.
If blood tests confirm a hormonal imbalance, prompt treatment can prevent worsening severity of symptoms. The longer certain deficiencies persist, the higher likelihood you may develop associated risks and complications down the road.
Letting low testosterone levels go untreated for years on end may predispose men to heightened dangers for:
Likewise, women depriving their bodies of adequate estrogen long-term encounter more vulnerability to:
The moment you notice distressing symptoms or receive abnormal lab results, we advise scheduling a consultation right away to review options. Delaying HRT too long can impact your wellness. We help urgently bring your levels back up into a healthy range.

Our London patients become part of an extended healthcare family invested wholly in their enduring good health, not just quick symptom fixes. We invite you to join!
While medications form the cornerstone of treatment for hormone imbalance, certain lifestyle measures markedly amplify their benefits:
Choosing plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, fish and lean meats creates vital nourishment for hormonal balance. We provide nutrition guidance including recipes and meal plans. Key concepts like limiting sugar, avoiding toxins, choosing “good” fats, and staying hydrated optimize HRT results.
High long-term stress elevates cortisol, which can disrupt optimal estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid function. We teach breathing exercises, mindfulness, yoga, or refer patients to psychotherapy for emotional health support. Most patients require 7-9 hours nightly sleep supporting hormonal equilibrium and metabolism.
Weight-bearing exercise and aerobic activity facilitate healthy hormonal signaling while keeping inflammation down. Patients aiming for routine activity 30-60 minutes daily, even just brisk walking, tend to feel dramatically better on HRT. We suggest local gyms and trainers adjusted to your fitness level.
With comprehensive HRT coupled with sensible wellness strategies, most patients finally start feeling back to their usual vibrant selves, if not better! We work closely fine-tuning all aspects of care to help you thrive.
