Hormone deficiency becomes more common as both men and women age. The most common hormones that decline are testosterone in men and estrogen/progesterone in women. This decline causes unpleasant symptoms that affect quality of life.
Anti-aging doctors can evaluate hormone levels through blood work and recommend hormone replacement therapy if levels are low. This treatment aims to supplement the body's natural hormones to alleviate deficiency signs and help patients feel healthier, more energetic, and youthful again.
Left untreated, hormone deficiency can significantly impair well-being and vigor. It's crucial to have anti-aging hormone levels properly evaluated by an experienced physician. Timely treatment can greatly benefit patients.
Our exceptional Balance Health Clinic offers cutting-edge therapies to help both men and women suffering from age-related hormone decline.
Below are some of the most common indicators of low testosterone/estrogen/progesterone levels:
If multiple deficiency signs are present, an anti-aging doctor can diagnose and provide treatment options.
Anti-aging hormone therapy involves supplementing hormones to restore optimal levels. It can provide immense benefits for both men and women, including:
Treatment begins with blood testing to accurately evaluate hormone statuses. An experienced anti-aging physician will analyze results and prescribe bioidentical hormones if low levels are detected.
These hormones have the same molecular structure as those naturally produced by the body. Available forms include injections, creams/gels, pellets, and patches. The method chosen depends on the doctor's recommendations and patient preference.
Follow-up blood tests are necessary to monitor progress and adjust dosages over time to keep hormones balanced. With an individualized treatment regimen, most patients feel dramatically better within weeks.
Accurately measuring hormones through blood testing is crucial. An anti-aging doctor will order panels to assess levels of:
Testosterone and estradiol in men
Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in women
Based on results and clinical evaluation, the doctor determines if treatment is warranted.
Ongoing testing every 3-6 months lets physicians track patient progress and adjust therapies accordingly. We recommend recording detailed symptom logs as well between visits.
Accurate diagnosis and monitoring ensure optimized treatment success.
It's vital to have an experienced anti-aging hormone specialist oversee treatment, not a general practitioner. We recommend selecting a doctor who:
