A member asked:
I'm 42 and started to feel like i don't have a lot of energy or a sex drive and i've gained weight. will hormone replacement therapy help?

Which hormones : The symptoms you describe are very nonspecific. Hormone replacement only helps those who are hormone deficient. In the presence of a described deficiency of thyroid hormone, replacement is very helpful. Replacement of estrogen and Progesterone in the peri menopausal is more controversial due to ongoing risk of clots and cancers. Rarer hormone deficiencies require an endocrine evaluation.
