When you think of testosterone, you probably think of 1 thing: men. And you aren’t wrong. After all, testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, responsible for giving men deeper voices, body hair, and muscle density.
However, women also rely on this androgenic hormone, as their bodies quickly convert it to estrogen. Women rely on testosterone for ovarian function, bone strength, and sexual behavior.
As we age, our bodies’ production of testosterone declines, taking our sex drive, mood, energy, and sleep with it.
At Dynamic Health & Wellness, we offer treatments to increase testosterone near The Villages because we believe there are 2 things everyone needs: good sleep and good sex. If your testosterone levels decline, you can’t enjoy 2 of life’s greatest pleasures. But you may also see a negative impact on stamina, mental clarity, and physical performance.
Our hormone replacement therapy can restore balance, making you feel more youthful and dynamic. Here’s how.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Your body relies on testosterone for muscle mass, sex drive, and strength. Instead of just allowing the production of testosterone to decline, we suggest hormone replacement therapy. This treatment supplements your body with hormones, restoring balance and alleviating symptoms like mood swings, low libido, decreased muscle mass, and low energy. Not only do we offer testosterone, but we also suggest natural estrogen replacement therapy for those with estrogen deficiencies.
For hormone replacement therapy, we conduct lab and blood work to determine the amount of estrogen and testosterone you’ll need to function optimally.
Delivery Options
We offer 3 administration methods for your hormone replacement therapy:
- Pellets – Placed below the skin, which gradually release hormones over 3 to 6 months.
- Injections – Administered via a needle in your skin every 3 to 4 days.
- Oral medications – A daily hormone therapy taken by mouth at the same ti.
Depending on your preferences, we can discuss the best delivery method for you. We typically recommend pellet therapy, because the pellets allow for steady absorption that maintains consistent lab values. This means fewer fluctuations, fewer side effects, and increased overall comfort.
