Symptoms like low libido, erectile dysfunction, painful sex, and changes in sexual pleasure could signal a hormone imbalance. The most common sex hormones that become imbalanced are estrogen, testosterone, and DHEA. Comparing symptoms to normal baseline levels for your gender alongside lab testing allows for accurate diagnosis.
Bioidentical hormones identical in molecular structure to what your body produces are generally preferable over synthetic ones. With custom compounding, we can formulate personalized combinations, doses, and delivery methods to precisely meet your needs. Synthetics often come in one-size-fits-all solutions. However, some high quality FDA-approved products like testosterone gels can still be effective. We advise on the best options for you.
Most patients notice positive changes in sexual function and libido within 3-6 weeks of starting therapy. Maximum benefits often occur around the 3-6 month mark. Results depend on factors like age, existing health conditions, cause of dysfunction, and proper dosing tailored to your body which we determine. Tracking symptoms and progress at follow up appointments allows us to maximize benefits long-term.
Recent research shows testosterone therapy does NOT increase prostate cancer risk when used appropriately under a physician's care. We monitor your prostate along with overall health to make sure you stay safe on therapy. Choosing bioidentical testosterone gel, injections, or pellets specific to your needs is important as they mimic what your body produces naturally. Follow our protocols and you can improve sexual function without worrying about increased cancer risks.
While hormone therapy provides immense benefits, making certain lifestyle adjustments can enhance results further:
Nutrition: Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, and lean proteins. Stay hydrated, limit sugar/alcohol which can impact hormones, and consider supplements to fill nutritional gaps.
Exercise: Aim for 150 minutes per week mixing cardio, strength training, and flexibility workouts. Regular movement boosts blood flow, energy, sexual performance, and wellbeing.
Stress management: Chronic stress raises cortisol affecting sexual hormones. Practice mindfulness, yoga, or meditation for resilience against stress. Prioritize proper sleep as well.
Refocus thought patterns: Consider counseling to address mental blocks or trauma contributing to sexual dysfunction. Reframing thoughts can have profound effects.
While we always tailor care to the unique needs of the LGBTQIA community, the above lifestyle strategies apply to all looking to enhance sexual health and hormone balance.
We hope this guide empowers you to take charge of sexual wellbeing through understanding your body, evaluating solutions like those offered at our hormone clinic, and making sustainable lifestyle changes. You deserve to feel your best physically and emotionally. Let the passionate practitioners at Optimal Balance Hormone Therapy guide you towards reclaiming your healthiest sexual self today!
