HORMONE HEALTH - LOW TESTOSTERONE

Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in our bodies.  Because of their essential roles, in the balance and body physiology, even the smallest hormonal imbalance can cause side effects throughout the body.

Hot flashes or flushes

Weight gain

Decreased sex drive

Discomfort during intercourse

Signs of Male imbalance:

Increased body fat (especially in the waist area)

BHRT (Bioidentical hormone replacement) with testosterone has helped thousands of men and women feel better, improving m edical conditions, and quality of life.  Dealing with the symptoms of low testosterone, such as fatigue, muscle weakness, reduced sex drive, night sweats, or weight gain (especially in the belly area), can be extremely stressful. BHRT is utilized in patients who desire restoration of their hormonal balance. These purified plant based hormone pellets can be implanted to restore these levels.  Placement often improves patients’ health concerns in four weeks, and full hormone optimization can take up to six months. The symptoms of hormone imbalance are unpleasant, but testosterone pellet therapy is often a big help! Men can also opt for weekly IM injections as an alternative to pellets; but pellets offer the more beneficial steady state of healthy hormone levels.  The pellet therapy process is an in-office visit, which only takes a few minutes.  The area is locally blocked and the testosterone hormone pellet is inserted, and a small bandage is placed over the insertion site.  After years of balancing hormone health, it is increasingly rewarding to see the transformation in quality of life for our patients.
