Men Need Hormones, Too!

Did you know men experience the loss of hormones throughout life just like women? Beginning at age 30, a man’s body produces less and less testosterone losing approximately 1%-2% per year. Between ages 40 and 55, the testosterone levels drop dramatically and signal the onset of andropause – the male equivalent of menopause. The symptoms of andropause include:

  • reduced vitality
  • weight gain
  • loss of muscle mass
  • feeling sluggish
  • depression
  • irritability

Dr. Campbell of New River Women’s Health is pleased to offer Bio-Identical hormone therapy to help men combat the symptoms of hormone loss.

How Do Bioidentical Hormones Help Men?

In recent years, the only treatment available for male hormones has been expensive and requires daily consumption. Bio-identical hormones are plant-based compounds specifically formulated to match the molecular structure of human hormones. SottoPelle® Bio-identical Hormone Therapy are natural male hormones that restore and renew the balance and vitality of healthy hormone levels. Testosterone is vital to a man’s well-being. Symptoms of low testosterone include:

  • fatigue
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • loss of mental clarity
  • reduced vitality
  • prostate problems
  • poor performance
  • loss of muscle ton and mass
  • development of osteoporosis

SottoPelle® Bio-identical Hormone Therapy is the most effective method of hormone replacement available. It is manufactured in pellets which are placed painlessly under the skin to deliver the right amount of hormone. The pellets begin working instantly by releasing a low dose of natural hormone that flows directly into the bloodstream whenever the body needs it. Dr. Campbell will determine the precise dose needed, which can be adjusted as needed throughout hormone replacement treatment.
