Hormonal Imbalance Treatment Options

Many treatment options are available for a hormonal imbalance, depending on the cause. These include estrogen therapy, vaginal estrogen, hormonal birth control, anti-androgen drugs, testosterone therapy, thyroid hormone therapy, metformin, bremelanotide, flibanserin, and eflornithine. Many nutritional supplements can also be taken to reduce the symptoms. However, few of them are scientifically backed up. You can also try some home remedies and lifestyle changes, such as yoga, a balanced diet, weight loss as well as vaginal moisturizers or lubes. Make sure to consult your healthcare provider before starting any of these treatment options to prevent possible side effects or complications and increase the chance of success. [9]
