Treatment for Women

Regardless of age a woman’s hormones work together to keep things in balance, however  there are many things that can cause a hormonal imbalance which can cause much upset to quality of life, our medical specialists can help to keep this balance stabilized with pellet therapy.

Pregnancy

Estrogen and progesterone play a crucial role in fertility and fetal development and production of these hormones increases dramatically during pregnancy as they are essential for healthy development of a fetus. Low estrogen or progesterone can cause infertility, signs of low progesterone in women include: abnormal, missed or late periods; spotting or cramping during pregnancy; and infertility. Low levels of progesterone may even produce symptoms of estrogen dominance, mimicking a high estrogen state, which can increase the likelihood of breast and ovarian cancers or lead to endometriosis. On the other end of the spectrum, signs of low estrogen include: irregular periods, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, infertility, weak bones, and urinary tract infections

Stress

Stress triggers the production of cortisol, a hormone produced in the adrenal gland that increases your heart rate, blood pressure and muscle tension. High cortisol levels can be linked to changes in a woman’s libido and menstrual cycle, and may cause anxiety and depression. High levels of cortisol are linked to low levels of progesterone, estrogen and testosterone.

Estrogen Reduction and Menopause

Many of the symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disorders and anxiety, are caused by a decline in estrogen production as a woman ages. 

Polycystic ovary syndrome

(PCOS) occurs when the ovaries do not develop eggs properly or are not released during ovulation, PCOS can cause hormones to become imbalanced. Generally, women with PCOS have unusually high levels of androgens, also known as the “male hormone.” Such women also typically have higher than normal levels of insulin, hormone that controls the conversion of food into energy. This imbalance leads to insulin resistance, where the body becomes “numb,” in essence, prompting the body to create more and more insulin, which over time does affect ovary function.

Treatment for Men

This entails patients meeting with our specialized bioidentical hormone treatment nurse practitioner every three to four months for a simple pellet insertion. During a routine in-office procedure, the tiny pellets are inserted into the hip or buttock area.  The pellets contain testosterone and are able to react to the needs of the body, so they actually secrete additional hormones just as the body normally would during periods of stress or exercise.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, begin with speaking to one of our highly trained bioidentical medical professionals, this could be the beginning of the solution you have been seeking.  You can be be healthier, happier, and free to enjoy your life by addressing the inconvenience and frustration of symptoms resulting from hormone imbalance. 

Pellets last about 3-4 months in women and up to 6 months in men. Your body will absorb the hormones from the pellet in just the right amounts. But, depending on your activity level and metabolism your body may require more.
An initial consultation is required at a cost of $200, the insertion cost is $350 for women and $700 for men.
