What are the signs and symptoms of age-related hormone decline?
As we age, all hormone levels naturally decline. There can be specific symptoms of hormone decline relating to the particular hormone that is deficient. Also, men and women may experience some gender-specific signs of age-related hormone deficiency. In general, declining hormones as we age can lead to:
- Decreased libido and reduced sexual satisfaction
- Decreased muscle mass
- Stiffness in muscles and joints
- Poor exercise performance
- Cognitive decline
- Depression
- Increased risk of Alzheimer’s Disease
- Poor bone density and higher risk of fracture
- Increased fatigue and irritability
However, hormone replacement therapy can replace what time and nature take away!
Common questions about Hormone Replacement Therapy:
Hormone pellet therapy is a safe and effective way to deliver bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. In pellet therapy, tiny pellets about the size of a grain of rice are implanted under the skin, where they release a steady flow of medicine over 3-4 months. Our bio-identical pellets are natural and plant-based. The chemical formulation is an identical match to the hormones created in your body!
Pellets prescribed by Dr Bertoldo and those with Valley Aesthetics & Wellness come from a trusted leader in the compound pharmacy industry. We use an FDA-regulated manufacturing facility. Their compounding process, strict sterile environment, attention to detail, and quality of the compounding components they use, make the bio-identical formulations they prepare truly exceptional. Dr Bertoldo has trained with SottoPelle to provide the benefits of years and thousands of patient treatments into the care you receive. SottoPelle assists with recommendations of dosing so that we keep your treatment conservative and safe.
The simplest, easiest way to check your hormone levels is through a blood test. We can draw your blood right in our office to get you started. Our doctors then review the results and write a treatment plan customized to your needs if hormone replacement is needed.
There can be several causes of hormone deficiencies, from genetic conditions to disease or injury. However, the most common cause of hormone deficiencies or hormone imbalance is the natural decline of critical hormones that occur as we age.
This kind of treatment is not typically covered by insurance and we want to help get you on the road to feeling your best self. We are usually able to do a consultation as a routine health visit and run the lab work through insurance. Then once your results are obtained Dr Bertoldo will set up a time to meet with you and discuss the findings. Usually we place pellets the same day we review your labs. There is no charge for the treatment plan visit.
The average cost of pellet hormone therapy is $300-$400 every 3-5 months. Timing is dependent on the symptoms you experience. Patients will often stay on this for a number of years. There is no set delineation on when to stop using them, but often 10 years after menopause is a time in which it is recommended to reassess the need for continued therapy and any risks that might exist.
