Symptoms, Labs & Treatment Decisions

Hormone changes affect both women and men, often gradually and in ways that are easy to attribute to stress or aging. Perimenopause and menopause, as well as declining testosterone, can influence sleep, mood, energy, body composition and sexual health.

These articles explain how hormone-related symptoms are evaluated, what lab tests can and cannot show, and what to consider before starting treatment. They are grouped into articles for women, articles for men and articles on how treatment decisions are made.
