Hormone Replacement Therapy
As we age, testosterone, estrogen and progesterone begin to naturally decline.
For men, there can be a gradual reduction in testosterone beginning at the age of 35 years old. This can be as little as 1-2 % per year or as much as 10% per year.
For women, peri-menopausal symptoms can start up to 10 years BEFORE menopause. That means for some ladies, you maybe experiencing peri-menopausal symptoms as early as your 30's.
If you listen to your body, is it saying "I'm feeling a bit off?" Are you lacking motivation? Gaining weight for no reason, having a decline in sexual desire or decreased libido? Feeling anxious, depressed, having more mood swings? Struggling with brain fog? Insomnia? Are you having an increase in muscle-skeletal injuries or aches and pains? Is your recovery time from physical activities talking longer?
Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) maybe a viable option for you. Dr. Aber and Dr. Denmark will evaluate your symptoms, discuss your diet and lifestyle, answer your questions and order the necessary lab work in order to come up with your individualized treatment plan.
There are many options for BHRT from creams, gels, suppositories, pills, patches, troches, pellets and injections. There are "pro's and con's" to all the different treatment choices. The doctors will discuss the benefits and risks of each, therefore you can make an informed decision for what is the best treatment for your situation.
This is a medically supervised treatment, you will be asked to have lab work done throughout the year as well as meet with your doctor to optimize your personal program.
