What is low libido?

Believe it or not, 1 in 5 men suffer from low sex drive. Low libido describes a decreased interest in sexual activity. It’s common to lose interest in sex from time to time, and libido levels vary through life. It’s also normal for your interest not to match your partner’s at times. However, low libido for a long period of time may cause concern for some people. It can sometimes be an indicator of an underlying health condition. If low libido is causing issues within your relationship with your loved one and lowering your self-confidence it is definitely time to address it. Don’t let it take control of life. Take control back by seeking help. At MedHealth 360 we can help address your low libido by listening to your concerns, taking a thorough medical history and testing for hormone levels.

Testosterone replacement using pellets

Bioidentical Pellet Therapy uses hormones that are bioidentical, this means the hormones are the exact same molecular structure as the naturally occurring human hormones.

Bioidentical hormones are found in nature and are derived from plants such as soy and yam. HRT uses hormones synthesized from the urine of pregnant mares. Bioidentical Pellet Therapy  uses hormones that are more natural to the human body and can often result in fewer negative side effects than those often prescribed by conventional physicians. 

Bioidentical pellet therapy offers a convenient benefit for as the pellets remain in the body and release a steady state of hormones that the body requires. In comparison other hormone replacement therapy options such as oral, injections, cream and gels that can be inconsistent in their delivery resulting in a rollercoaster effect in many Women.

FAQs | Bioidentical Hormones

Testosterone | Estrogen

Although they are not naturally produced by the body, you body recognizes them as the same, and biochemically reacts to them with the same effect.  Using our MedHealth360 program you can also control your weight, increase your energy levels and feel good both inside and out.

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) has actually been used in the United States since 1938. Bio-identical Hormones are all natural plant based products made from yams and a small amount of soy. These hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones produced within our own bodies. There are numerous studies worldwide that document the benefits and safety of BHRT. These studies also report a lower incidence of side effects when compared with prescription drugs. BHRT should not be confused with “synthetic hormones which are typically found in many creams, gels and injectables used for hormone replacement.

BHRT is a short, simple in-office procedure using local anesthesia. Your doctor will insert the pellets into the fatty layer just beneath your skin. In men and women, a small incision is made in the buttocks or in the lower abdomen. The process is painless and takes just a few minutes.

One of greatest advantages of pellet therapy is the low incidence of side effects. Although extremely rare, side effects may include: slight bruising, minor bleeding, infection or extrusion of the pellets.

Your doctor will interpret your blood tests and determine an appropriate dosage specifically designed for your body. Women who receive estrogen can feel significantly better in 24-36 hours. Men and women who receive testosterone will start to feel relief of symptoms in 10-14 days. After your pellet insertion, you should avoid vigorous exercise for a few days as directed by your physician. Your doctor will evaluate your hormone levels on an ongoing basis and monitor any future changes needed.

You can obtain BHRT Pellets by scheduling an appointment with a trained, certified physician who specializes in hormonal therapy. In order to obtain the correct dosage and proper placement of the pellets, the doctor should be knowledgeable and specifically trained in pellet therapy!

Programs Individualized To Your Needs

MedHealth 360 recognizes that wellness requires the coordination of proper nutrition, hormone replacement, exercise and mobility. When it comes to your health, you cannot address one area without addressing the others. They are all interconnected. This is why many patients fail simple diet and nutrition programs for example. If their hormone levels are low, or they don’t exercise, or muscle pain and stiffness prevent them from moving properly, they will ultimately gain weight and the diet won’t work. At MedHealth 360, we specialize in coordinated programs to integrate nutrition, hormone health, exercise, and joint mobility. We work with you to create a program that can achieve healthy results. And we are there with you every step of the way.
