Hormone Therapy: Signs and Symptoms with Testosterone, Progesterone, and Estrogen

Research has found that low hormone levels (testosterone, progesterone, estrogen) directly impact your energy, muscle and fat mass, metabolism, libido, cholesterol level, blood pressure, and development of illness and diseases like diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. This is exactly why we require comprehensive bloodwork to start our program. More often than not, we find more than just hormone issues. Our typical Cincinnati based client comes to us between the ages of 30-65. They are usually experiencing symptoms associated with menopause and andropause (male menopause). Each patient experiences a unique mixture of symptoms. Some hormonal changes happen overnight, while others can be a gradual change over multiple years or even a decade.

But there is one universal truth: no one knows your body as you do and by optimizing your testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen, we are able to bring your body and health back into balance so that you can live the life you want!. If you think something is wrong or missing, trust what your body is telling you. Hormone Therapy works to alleviate your testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen imbalance symptoms, including a mix of: 

• Hot flashes and lack of restful sleep
• Mood swings, depression, anxiety or general irritability
• Weight gain or the inability to lose weight
• Decreased libido, vaginal dryness and lack of sexual satisfaction
• Thinning of hair and nails
• Chronic fatigue (afternoon slump) or just a general lack of energy

Take the Hormone Imbalance Self-Assessment

We understand how overwhelming it can be to talk about hormone therapy, specifically testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen It is our goal within the hormone therapy program to optimize your testosterone, progesterone, estrogen hormone levels to eliminate the above symptoms and help protect your body. It is important to remember though that there could be many contributing factors to your symptoms and that you may need to consider other options for optimal results:

• Thyroid Health 
• Regular exercise
• Supplementation with Vitamin D, DHEA, Melatonin…etc.
• Appropriate nutrition
• IV Therapy to help meet nutrient and amino acid needs.

Optimal vs. Normal Testosterone, Progesterone and Estrogen

“At Your Wellness Center, We Treat the Symptoms, NOT the Numbers.”

We want to treat you and the symptoms you have, so we don’t base our medical decisions on whether your testosterone, progesterone and estrogen blood draw numbers fall within the “normal” range on a piece of paper. We see women every day who come in with “normal” lab results – but they’re still experiencing a myriad of symptoms that are associated with a “low” level such as a lack of energy, hot flashes, no libido…etc! This tells our providers that you are not part of this “normal” population, and therefore shouldn’t be treated as such. Our experienced providers will work with you to improve your quality of life, bring your testosterone, progesterone and estrogen lab levels to the best optimal range, and ensure that you are being treated as an individual, not just a number on a piece of paper.

Bioidentical vs. Synthetic: Testosterone, Progesterone and Estrogen

Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are chemically identical to the natural ones your body once produced in larger quantities such as testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen. The chemical structure, processes, and relationships of bioidentical testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen hormones are identical to those that naturally occur in your body.

Hormone Therapy is the use of bioidentical hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and/or testosterone to treat imbalances and deficiencies. While it is perfectly normal for your body to gradually decrease (or even stop) the production of these important hormones over time, it is important to remember that we are at our healthiest when our hormones are at natural optimal levels.

Testosterone, Progesterone and Estrogen Hormone Therapy Options

At Your Wellness Center, we offer a couple of options when it comes to testosterone, progesterone and estrogen therapy. They include the use of topical creams and subcutaneous insertions with the use of pellets. For women, progesterone is also offered as a pill form that is prescribed to and obtained at a compounding pharmacy. 

Pellet insertions include the use of testosterone and/or estrogen pellet, about the size of the grain of rice, which is inserted under the skin of the fatty part of the buttocks. Our medical providers use a local anesthetic to make the procedure essentially painless. The pellet slowly dissolves over the next 3-4 months, leaving no residual effects, and allowed for a longer-lasting optimal testosterone level. After the first pellet insertion, peak lab levels are drawn around 4 weeks. Our providers then review the results to ensure an appropriate hormone dosage is prescribed. You’ll then come in every 3-4 months (depending on your medical history) for a recurring pellet insertion.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS is difficult to diagnose because symptoms vary from woman to woman. Many women with PCOS experience weight gain or obesity, as well as acne, hairiness, and insulin resistance. You can learn more here or take a free PCOS self-assesment.

Testosterone, Progesterone and Estrogen Hormone Therapy & Sexual Health

We hear it almost every day – “You saved my marriage.” Many patients come in because as they age, they don’t quite feel as healthy as they used to. In a month or two, they see a transformation in not only their health, energy, mood, but with their libido, vaginal dryness, and sexual satisfaction.

How We Empower You in the Battle with Urinary Incontinence, Vaginal Dryness, and Painful Intercourse

As women age, estrogen levels slowly decline. Women who have experienced menopause, a hysterectomy, or chemotherapy will see a more dramatic drop in their estrogen levels. This lack of estrogen results:

• Thin, dry, or inflamed vaginal walls
• Vaginal discomfort
• Vaginal itching
• Decreased lubrication
