Male HRT
Men do not have a defined term to describe their hormone decline like menopause for women, but their hormone balance is equally important. Men’s primary hormone, testosterone, is crucial for energy, weight management, libido, sexual function, sleep, and mood. Testosterone levels in males begin decreasing with age and can start as early as their 30’s. Low testosterone can cause weight gain (particularly in the midsection), erectile dysfunction, depression, sleep disturbance, loss of muscle mass, strength, and stamina. If you suffer from any of these let us help!

Injection Therapy
With HRT injections, we are able to change the dosage based on how you are responding to hormone replacement therapy. Regular checks to make sure you are getting the right dosage also means we can monitor and evaluate both your hormone levels and your general well-being.
Pellet Therapy
Pellets are compounded estradiol or testosterone that are made from organic plant materials, which have the exact molecular structure of those hormones found in the body. They are pressed into a solid compound that is about the size of a cooked grain of rice. Using a painless office procedure, they are inserted under the skin in the hip area. The pellets release small amounts of hormone directly into the bloodstream over a period of 3 Months.
METHODS
When you schedule a consultation, you will have labs collected by one of our medical assistants or nurses. You will then visit with one of our hormone specialists. This visit will consist of a detailed history and a simple exam to evaluate your needs and identify any risk factors. When lab results have been returned to the office (typically ~1 week), you will be notified to schedule a follow-up appointment & initiate your therapy if indicated. Our practitioners will then review your lab results & provide recommendations specific to your needs.
There are many mediums for HRT but at OHWKC, we opt for the most bioavailable & efficient methods. Our primary means of HRT include injections and pellets & both will be discussed in your consultation. Both injections & pellets have reduced risks compared to oral & synthetic preparations and are typically better absorbed than topical creams. They are also dosed according to your symptoms & lab levels.
Injections are recommended to be given once per week for men receiving testosterone & bi-weekly (every other week) for women receiving estradiol and testosterone. This schedule is due to the half-life, or metabolism of the hormones. These are a great option if you are new to hormone replacement to assess how your body responds & if dose adjustments are necessary.
If you feel well managed with your doses, pellets may be another good alternative. These slow-release formulations placed under the skin allow for consistent & stable release of hormones which can reduce side effects, & half a longer half-life of 3-4 months to allow for less frequent visits. The ease of pellets for patients is unmatched as they do not have to worry about dosing or self-administration.
Pellet therapy does involve a minimally invasive office procedure for insertion. This involves an injection at the site of the insertion to numb the area and a very small incision. There is minimal discomfort and downtime and no stitches. Your provider will review the pre- and post-care instructions with you in preparation for your insertion.
