Most people equate hormone replacement therapy with women but guess what men? It can help you, too. Aging isn’t pretty no matter your gender, and Revive Medical Center works with patients to improve their quality of life in their middle and golden years. Men have their own version of menopause, and it isn’t going out and buying a Porsche. When hormone levels drop in men, their bodies change, and this is when they, too, benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). These are some of the benefits of pellet therapy for men.
Hormone Loss in Men
Men suffer most from low testosterone levels, a hormone found in plentiful supply in the younger male. By the time you turn 60, you are not producing the testosterone you used to and you likely haven’t been for years. This is normal, but it also brings with it a host of symptoms that drive men as crazy as menopause drives women crazy. If you are not producing enough testosterone, you likely have
- A reduced sex drive for no explicable reason
- Problems with erectile dysfunction
- Reduced semen volume
- Hair loss
- Fatigue/tiredness/decreased energy and stamina
- Muscle loss (no matter how hard you work out)
- Weight gain (no matter how much you diet)
- Osteoporosis (bone density loss)
- Anxiety, depression, and moodiness
- Memory loss
- Smaller testicles
- Anemia (low red blood cell count)
Who would’ve thought low testosterone could wreak such havoc on your body? You might not experience all of the symptoms listed above, but even a handful of them are enough to make your life miserable. Enter BHRT pellet therapy for men designed to replace the lost testosterone your body no longer produces. These bioidentical plant-based hormones mimic your own body’s testosterone, so your body absorbs them and your testosterone level is replenished.
How Pellet Therapy Works
The goal of BHRT pellet therapy is to restore your testosterone levels to normal, i.e. the levels your body produced when you were younger. This is also the benefit of BHRT pellet therapy. To relieve your low-testosterone symptoms, we clean and numb a small area at the top of one of your buttocks. We then cut a minuscule incision and insert the testosterone pellet underneath your skin.
As mentioned above, the pellet dissolves slowly into your body and as it does so, your body absorbs the bioidentical testosterone. As your testosterone levels rise, usually within two-to-four weeks, you begin to feel more like your younger self. Because the pellets dissolve, you need new ones inserted every three-to-four months. You’ll feel maximum relief within six months.
You don’t have to suffer from male menopause anymore than women have to suffer from menopause. Let Revive Medical Center in Lawrenceville, GA, check your testosterone level and, if necessary, start you on BHRT pellet therapy for men. Call us to schedule an appointment today.
