Why Do I Need Hormone Therapy?
Hormone therapy for women may be done to replace estrogen and progesterone when levels of these reproductive hormones are low, or they’re no longer produced by the body.
hormone replacement therapy for men may be done to relieve symptoms of low testosterone, such as erectile dysfunction, reduced libido, fatigue or depression.
This type of hormone therapy may be done as part of gender transitioning. Svetlana specializes in both feminizing hormone therapy and masculinizing hormone therapy.
There are more than 50 endocrine glands in the body that produce hormones, and any of them may become imbalanced. For example, the pituitary gland may not make enough growth hormone or the thyroid gland may not make enough of its hormones. Hormone replacement therapy may be recommended for any condition that causes the body’s natural hormone level to be too high or too low.
Why Do I Need What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Practitioners of restorative medicine, such as NYC-based Svetlana Pyatigorskaya of Svetlana Pyatigorskaya NP in Family Health PC, use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to treat and prevent conditions associated with aging. She is particularly adept at creating special compounds uniquely designed for your particular needs. Optimal hormones are used for more than just sexual function too. They’re also successfully incorporated in IV therapies for:
- Skin health
- Brain function
- Preserving muscle mass
- Fighting effects of aging
- Restoring energy levels
At Vitality, the goal of hormone optimization is to restore hormone levels to that of a 25 to 30-year-old individual. This is done using topical creams, injections and pills. It can also be done as hormone pellet therapy, which involves placing a small pellet under the skin.
