Hormone imbalances can develop at any age and affect both men and women. When hormone levels fall too low or become too high, it can lead to unpleasant symptoms and health risks. Getting an accurate diagnosis and starting hormone therapy may help restore optimal balance.
There are many signs that can indicate hormonal fluctuations. For women, these can include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, changes in menstrual cycle, difficulty sleeping, decreased libido, weight gain, or emotional changes like depression or anxiety.
Men may experience reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass and strength, weight gain, fatigue, insomnia, infertility, and mental fogginess when testosterone levels decline.
Getting a blood test is the best way to check current hormone values. Both men and women should get tested if they are experiencing multiple symptoms of hormonal imbalance. At Second Spring Hormone Clinic, we offer comprehensive panels to measure estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and other essential hormones.
Hormones levels naturally shift with age, starting for women around perimenopause in their 40s and menopause in their 50s. Men over 50 also start to lose testosterone at a rate of 1-2% per year. Other causes can include high stress levels, thyroid disorders, adrenal fatigue, poor diet, lack of exercise, obesity, chronic inflammation or infection, and certain medications.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help alleviate unpleasant symptoms of hormonal decline and address associated health risks when hormones become unbalanced. BHRT provides hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the body.
BHRT is highly effective at relieving symptoms related to menopause and andropause when used short-term. For women, it can eliminate hot flashes/night sweats, vaginal dryness, sleep problems, and mood issues. For men, it can resolve erectile dysfunction, fatigue, mental fog, and decreased libido.
When used long-term, balanced bioidentical hormone therapy provides extensive health advantages. BHRT can strengthen bones, improve heart health, enhance brain function, increase energy/vitality, boost immunity, promote weight loss, and elevate mood. It also reduces risks for heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and dementia.
By alleviating symptoms and reducing health risks from hormonal decline, bioidentical hormones also significantly improve one’s overall quality of life. Patients report better sleep, increased sex drive, improved relationships, enhanced work performance, more motivation to exercise, greater confidence, and a more positive outlook.
Every patient has a unique hormonal balance and symptoms. At Second Spring Hormone Clinic, we specialize in fully customized plans to restore ideal hormone levels based on your blood tests, health history, lifestyle, preferences, and treatment goals. Follow-ups assess progress and adjust dosages accordingly.
There are various forms of bioidentical hormone treatments to conveniently meet each patient’s needs and preferences. Second Spring Hormone Clinic offers cutting-edge therapies that are continually adjusted to keep hormones balanced and symptoms controlled.
Testosterone and estradiol pellets are inserted under the skin every 3-6 months, providing steady hormone release as they dissolve. This is an easy, "set it and forget it" approach. Pellets have the highest patient satisfaction ratings due to their consistent effects.
Gels/creams with DHEA, progesterone, testosterone or estradiol can be applied daily to the wrists, arms or thighs for full-body absorption. This allows flexible, precise dosing adjusted based on symptoms.
Micronized progesterone, pregnenolone and DHEA capsules can restore low levels of these hormones. Absorption occurs through digestion. Capsules must be taken regularly.
Testosterone injections every 7-14 days are another option to normalize testosterone. Male patients must come into the clinic for injections. Effects last several days but can fluctuate between doses.
Allowing hormone levels to remain suboptimal for long periods raises your risk for serious diseases and reduces quality of life. At Second Spring Hormone Clinic, we emphasize early intervention and careful monitoring to sustain ideal hormone balance.
Therapies like testosterone replacement and estrogen replacement effectively elevate your blood levels of these vital hormones to regenerate energy, muscular and bone density, sexual function, cognitive ability and positive mood.
Our comprehensive programs significantly lower patients’ risk for obesity, heart attack, stroke, osteoporosis, diabetes, infections, dementia, anxiety and depression. Patients report increased vitality and better sleep, sex drive and work performance.
We educate patients on preventing hormone decline through nutrition, supplements, stress management and exercise. Optimizing key hormones earlier leads to better health in later years. We help patients take control of hormonal changes before serious issues develop.
