The human endocrine system regulates hormones that impact almost all aspects of our health and wellbeing. When hormone levels drop below optimal ranges, troubling signs and symptoms can occur. However, with proper hormone therapy these issues can often be reduced or resolved.
Some common signs of low testosterone or andropause in men include:
Some typical signs of menopause or low estrogen/progesterone in women include:
Catching and addressing hormone issues early on can help mitigate symptoms and reduce long term health risks. Our experienced physicians at Harmony Hormone Center take the time to evaluate all symptoms and customize treatment plans to your unique needs.
Restoring hormones to optimal ranges, whether through bioidentical hormones, testosterone therapy, or other treatment protocols provides extensive benefits:
Hormone replacement therapy also helps protect long term health. Testosterone and estrogen therapies can improve heart health, bone health, and reduce risks for conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease when managed correctly under a physician's care.
If blood tests confirm clinically low hormone levels, hormone therapy may be recommended. Treatment protocols can differ based on one's age, symptoms, and health profile.
For men over 30 who present with symptoms of low testosterone along with bloodwork confirming low levels, testosterone therapy is often prescribed.
At Harmony Hormone Center we utilize advanced methods like testosterone gels or testosterone injections to restore testosterone to healthy ranges based on one's age and physiology. Treatment plans are tailored to your needs and closely monitored to achieve optimum benefits while avoiding side effects.
If blood tests reveal menopausal women have insufficient estrogen/progesterone levels, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be suggested to relieve symptoms.
We offer bioidentical hormones including BiEst creams, progesterone pills or injections, testosterone therapies and more to bring hormone levels back into balance. Pellet implants may also be an option for longer lasting relief.
Our expert physicians and staff closely track your bloodwork and symptoms to ensure your customized hormone therapy keeps you feeling your best while staying safe. We collaborate with you on any needed treatment adjustments and provide supportive care each step of the way.
Waiting too long to address insufficient hormone levels allows symptoms and health risks to spiral. The sooner hormone deficiencies are detected and corrected, the better patients feel and the lower their risks for current and future issues.
Early detection and prompt treatment gives men and women the best chance of resolving troublesome signs like low libido, hot flashes, fatigue, mental fog, bladder problems, and muscle loss quickly and efficiently.
Blood tests checking testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and other key hormone levels are crucial for at-risk adults. If tests reveal clinically low levels, customized hormone replacement under an expert physician's care can transform one's health outlook.
Hormone therapy can help transgender individuals match their physical characteristics with their gender identity.
