Our Primary Care Professionals at Buchanan Health Center in Leesburg, FL can help you find out if Hormone Replacement Therapy is right for you

Both men and women can suffer from the effects of hormone loss. With women, they can begin to lose both estrogen and testosterone, while men only lose testosterone. Good levels of these hormones are required to keep all humans in the very tip top condition of health. At Buchanan Health Center, our health professionals offer a revolutionary new type of hormone replacement therapy called BioTE.

What is BioTE Hormone Replacement Therapy?

BioTE hormone replacement therapy is pure hormone with no byproducts, and it is delivered via small, rice-sized pellets inserted under the skin. The process of inserting the pellets is entirely pain-free. Putting them under the skin allows the pellets to deliver precise doses of the correct hormones for your individual needs, and even adjust the dose over time, as needed. The hormones used in BioTE are derived from plants, so they are all-natural and work perfectly with your body as if your body produced them on its own. Most patients who receive this therapy report a greatly increased quality of life.

Why Do Women Need Hormone Replacement?

Most women begin to experience a loss of hormones around perimenopause and menapause, but certain health conditions can sometimes cause a loss sooner, or even later. When women don't produce enough estrogen and testosterone, they aren't able to reproduce anymore, which is normal after a certain age. However, they can also experience other side effects, including:

  • Inability to nurse
  • Bone loss
  • High cholesterol
  • Loss of calcium
  • Weight gain
  • Hot flashes
  • Mood disturbances and disorders
  • Dry skin and/or wrinkling
  • Insomnia
  • Fatigue
  • Bladder infections and bladder control issues
  • Joint and muscle pain and aches
  • Memory issues
  • Trouble concentrating

In the past, doctors would simply dismiss these issues as moodiness and prescribe a woman anti-depressants or tranquilizers. However, neither of these address the real issue, and anti-depressants can actually make the symptoms worse. Real wellness requires hormone replacement therapy.

Why Do Men Need Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Testosterone is a crucial element of men's health. Loss of it is an actual medical issue in men. Sometimes, the levels of testosterone drop for a variety of reasons, particularly after age thirty-five. While not all men experience low testosterone, those who do may experience:

  • Insomnia
  • Too much sleeping
  • Trouble remembering things
  • Cognitive difficulties
  • Fatigue
  • Mood changes and disorders
  • Loss of muscle strength
  • Reduced sex drive
  • Erectile dysfunction
