There is no set time limit for hormone therapy. Many men seek BHRT to manage andropause symptoms, which are alleviated as long as hormones are used. Beyond symptom relief, BHRT provides long-term health benefits such as:
- Decreasing inflammation
- Supporting muscle growth
- Improving bone strength
- Boosting cognitive function and memory
BHRT also reduces the risk of certain cancers, such as colon cancer, and addresses both short-term symptoms and long-term health goals. You can safely continue treatment under the guidance of your provider for as long as it remains beneficial.
