Concierge Hormone Therapy
Dr. Mildred J. Santorufo of Dr. Milli’s Medical Wellness Center helps men and women with hormone imbalances and other hormone disorders. For example, Dr. Santorufo can help you deal with such hormone-related conditions as:
- Adrenal issues
- Male hypogonadism (commonly referred to as low testosterone or Low-T)
- Thyroid hormone replacement therapy
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a common condition affecting hormone balance
For men, hormone therapy can help you recapture the energy and vitality you used to have. Testosterone is present in men and women, and plays an important role in sexual development. The levels of testosterone begin to decrease in men usually by age 30. Testosterone replacement therapy is available in many forms and can help increase and maintain your overall levels of testosterone to address symptoms of Low-T, such as:
- Erectile dysfunction (ED)
- Low libido
- Fatigue
- Hair loss
- Loss of muscle mass
- Increased body fat
For women, hormone therapy can especially work wonders during menopause and beyond. That’s because when a woman starts her perimenopause transition period, and then full menopause, her estrogen and progesterone levels drop. As a result, she produces a fraction of the hormones she made before menopause, which often triggers uncomfortable symptoms, such as:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Mood swings
- Breast tenderness
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Painful intercourse
- Low libido
Some women even suffer from hormone imbalance and its accompanying symptoms before menopause due to genetics or physical illnesses.
The good news is that Dr. Santorufo may recommend hormone therapy to replace the hormones you are missing. Depending on your individual condition, hormone replacement may come in the form of oral tablets, patches, topical creams, or injectable bioidentical hormone pellets.
