Stop Being Hormonal!
We often hear women blaming their irrational and sometimes inexplicable behaviour to hormones. Believe it or not, hormones play a vital role in the functions of the human body systems and many unusual changes in your body can be attributed to the change in the hormone balance in your body.
For women, the symptoms associated with menopause such as hot flashes, difficulty sleeping, vaginal dryness, and mood changes occur even before menopause starts. So women endure all of these symptoms longer than we think they would. So guys, give these lovely women a break! Aside from these symptoms, the decrease in the level of estrogen during menopause may result in significant bone loss that may lead to osteoporosis that makes the bone prone to breaking.
Our hormone balancing program will address all these symptoms brought about the change in the hormone levels in a woman’s body. Estrogen Replacement Therapy is the key to minimizing the effects brought about by menopause and preventing bone loss and osteoporosis. Through the various hormone replacement treatments we have available we are also able to prevent other medical conditions that are associated with hormonal imbalance like heart disease and dementia. I have read a study saying that women who did not receive hormone replacements are more at risk for coronary heart disease, premature death, parkinsonism, anxiety, depression, and concerns on sexual function. Through hormone balancing, we improve our patient’s way of life and help them go through their prime years with ease and comfort.

Raging Hormones!
Funny how boys deal with raging hormones when they become adolescents and yet again when they become older. Sad news is, men’s testosterone is at its peak when men reach the age of 17 or 18 then it just goes downhill as they approach their 30s or 40s.
Like women going through menopause, men go through a medical condition when they reach the age of 40 to 50 and this is called andropause. This is characterized by decrease in the testosterone level in a man’s body and can result in a decrease in the ability to function sexually, a decrease in the levels of red blood cells in the body, decrease in muscle bulk, as well as decrease in bone density.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy is a good solution in alleviating these symptoms and giving men back their vigour so that they can enjoy the prime of their lives to the fullest. It’s more common to hear women getting hormone replacement treatments, but more and more, this procedure is becoming more popular among our male patients because of the numerous benefits. Hormone balancing for men can make men leaner and can improve bone density. Testosterone replacement therapy can also revive a man’s sexual interest and stimulation which can help in maintaining a healthy relationship with their partners. It contributes to maintaining a healthy neurological structure, helps alleviate depression, and has been found to induce fat loss in some of our patients.
