Hormone Optimization for Men
As men age, testosterone levels begin to decline. This can lead to a variety of symptoms including fatigue, depression, irritability, aches and pains, general signs of aging, increased risk of chronic degenerative disease, and reduced sexual interest, enjoyment and/or performance.
Andropause (male menopause) isn't a widely discussed topic and many of our male patients may not exactly know what they are experiencing, or how to address it. Fortunately, Certified Purepell Providers across the nation are helping men restore optimal hormone levels with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
Why is Testosterone Important?
Testosterone has many important roles in the body and contributes to libido, mental clarity, strength, fat burning and overall well-being. Optimal testosterone levels also help protect against arthritis, fat storage, and cardiovascular disease.
Optimal testosterone that allows for more lean muscle mass, greater bone density, improved skin tone and better sexual performance. These are just a few of the many reasons patients seek out testosterone replacement therapy options to maximize their quality of life.
What is Pellet Therapy?
Bioidentical pellet therapy is a preferred way to provide the body with a steady dose of appropriate hormones. Testosterone has been shown to increase muscle strength and lean body mass, improve sexual response, protect the prostate, prevent cardiovascular disease, increase energy, fight impotence, and improve mood. A recently published study identified that men with higher testosterone levels live longer.
Bioidentical hormone pellets are placed under the skin and often last up to six months before needing an additional dose, depending on the individual's level of activity.
