Testosterone levels in men typically drops about 1% a year, and most men who suffer from hormonal imbalance are between the ages of 54-64. Symptoms of hormonal imbalance in men include heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, osteoporosis, diabetes, low sex drive, weight gain, and depression. Hormone replacement therapy can quickly reverse these symptoms, and men will notice improved sex drive, more energy, improved mood, and an increase in sperm count.
Hormonal imbalance symptoms begin in women around the age of 40 and older. Typically, around the time when women are in the peak of menopause, their estrogen and progesterone levels become low. This stage causes a range of low hormone symptoms. Some symptoms include weight gain, low libido, mood swings, insomnia, hot flashes, depression, and severe menstrual cycles. The benefits of balancing hormones properly will quickly begin to help improve overall well-being. Benefits include regained energy and mental clarity, reduced hot flashes, improved sex drive, enhanced muscles, and a decrease in fatigue.
BHRT uses hormones that are an exact duplicate of the chemical structure your body naturally produces. Your body is easily able to recognize and use the hormones as if they were producing these hormones naturally. Furthermore, pellets deliver a consistent release of small amounts of hormones straight into the bloodstream over a three to six-month time period. This is so you can experience consistent balance (instead of experiencing spikes of high levels immediately after treatment and dips in low levels before your next treatment). One of the most significant benefits to this type of treatment is that each dose is based on specific needs of each patient, so you know you are getting the most beneficial dose for your body.
Testosterone is a hormone that affects many aspects of a male’s health, including muscle mass, body fat, red blood cell count, sex drive, and mood. Testosterone can be injected directly, and the body will begin to absorb the testosterone into the bloodstream. Injections are recommended over pills or patches because of this benefit. Testosterone injections can be given by a provider every one to three weeks, depending on the condition that is being treated or may be injected at home on a regular agreed upon basis.
