Doctors Can Improve Men’s Sexual Health with HRT Pellets

For men, sexual health problems – such as low sex drive or erectile dysfunction (“ED”) – can be an embarrassing subject. Having difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection is something almost every man will experience from time to time, but most men simply don’t want to talk their doctor about it. Instead, many men waste hundreds of dollars on drug store and online ‘miracle cures’ that cost a lot but ultimately do nothing.

What many men do not realize is that there is a remarkable new, all-natural and highly effective treatment offered by men’s sexual health doctors that can help many men with ED and other sexual problems. Long-lasting, time-released bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) pellets available at Prosperity Health in Royal Oak, MI can invigorate their sex drive, restore their sexual performance, and increase sexual energy and stamina – in addition to improving men’s overall health and wellbeing.

In this article, the men’s sexual health doctor at Prosperity Health in Royal Oak, MI will discuss how hormone replacement therapy pellets can improve a man’s sexual health – so that he can enjoy an active, satisfy, and fulfilling sex life at every age.

Causes of Low Testosterone Levels in Men

Testosterone is the primary male hormone that is responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics and sexual functions – including sex drive and the ability to achieve and maintain and erection. Testosterone levels naturally decrease with age, but other factors can also contribute to low testosterone levels in men. These factors include:

Aging: As men age, their testosterone levels naturally decline.
Obesity: Excess body fat can convert testosterone into estrogen, leading to lower testosterone levels.
Diabetes: Men with diabetes have a higher risk of low testosterone levels.
Medications: Certain medications, such as opioids and steroids, can decrease testosterone levels.
Chronic illnesses: Chronic illnesses, such as HIV/AIDS and kidney disease, can lead to low testosterone levels.
Testicular injury or disease: Injury or disease to the testicles can lead to low testosterone levels.

How Low Testosterone Affects Men’s Sexual Health

Low testosterone levels can lead to several sexual performance problems and dysfunction in men. These problems include:

Low libido: Testosterone is responsible for sexual desire in men. Low testosterone levels can lead to a decrease in sexual desire.
Erectile dysfunction: Testosterone is also responsible for maintaining the health of the blood vessels and nerves in the penis. Low testosterone levels can lead to a decrease in blood flow to the penis, making it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection.
Decreased semen volume: Testosterone is responsible for the production of semen. Low testosterone levels can lead to a decrease in semen volume.
Decreased muscle mass: Testosterone is responsible for building and maintaining muscle mass. Low testosterone levels can lead to a decrease in muscle mass and strength.
Fatigue and decreased stamina: Low testosterone levels can lead to fatigue and decreased stamina, making it difficult to perform sexually.

How HRT Pellets Can Improve Men’s Sexual Health

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) pellets are a type of hormone therapy that can help men balance their hormone levels and improve their sexual health. Available at Prosperity Health in Royal Oak, MI, HRT pellets are inserted under the skin and release hormones over a period of time. HRT pellets provide a consistent dose of time-released hormones that lasts up to six months with a single insertion in their doctor’s office.

HRT Pellets Can Improve Libido

Testosterone is the hormone responsible for sexual desire in men. Testosterone pellets can help increase sexual desire and arousal, making it easier to become interested in sexual activities.

HRT Pellets Can Treat Erectile Dysfunction

Hormone replacement therapy pellets can also help improve erectile dysfunction in men. Testosterone is responsible for maintaining the health of the blood vessels and nerves in the penis. Low testosterone levels can lead to a decrease in blood flow to the penis, making it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection.

Testosterone pellets can help improve blood flow to the penis, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection. In addition, testosterone can improve the elasticity of the penile tissues, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection.

HRT Pellets Can Increase Sexual Sensation

Hormone replacement therapy pellets can also improve sexual sensation in men. Testosterone is responsible for maintaining the health of the nerves in the penis, which can contribute to sexual arousal and sensation. A decrease in testosterone levels can lead to a decrease in blood flow to the genital area, reducing sexual sensation and pleasure.

Testosterone pellets can help improve blood flow to the genital area, increasing sexual sensation and pleasure. In addition, testosterone can increase the sensitivity of the penis, making it easier to achieve orgasm.

Why Men’s Sexual Health Doctors Recommend HRT Pellets

Compared to other methods of hormone delivery, hormone replacement therapy pellets offer several benefits when it comes to improving sexual health and performance in men. The main benefit of HRT pellets is that they provide a consistent dose of hormones over a period of time.

Other methods of hormone delivery, such as gels, creams, and injections, can lead to fluctuations in hormone levels, which can affect sexual performance and desire. Hormone replacement therapy pellets release hormones into the bloodstream gradually, providing a steady supply of hormones that can help improve sexual health and performance.

Hormone replacement therapy pellets are also convenient and require minimal maintenance. Once the pellets are inserted under the skin, they release hormones over a period of several months, eliminating the need for daily application or frequent doctor visits for injections. This makes hormone replacement therapy pellets a convenient option for men who may have busy schedules or difficulty adhering to a treatment regimen.

You’re also always “ready to go” with HRT pellets prescribed by a men’s sexual health doctor! No need to wait for pills or creams to ‘kick in.’

Hormone replacement therapy pellets also have a lower risk of side effects compared to other methods of hormone delivery. Topical creams and gels can transfer to other individuals through skin-to-skin contact, and injections can lead to pain or swelling at the injection site. Hormone replacement therapy pellets are inserted under the skin and release hormones gradually, reducing the risk of side effects associated with other methods of hormone delivery.

Most women will experience a low sex drive, discomfort during sex, and even loss of sexual sensation at various times in their life.

Causes of Women’s Sexual Health Problems

Dr. Hakim at Prosperity Health in Royal Oak, MI is an integrative medicine doctor – which means she focuses on the whole person rather than just treating specific symptoms. She will work with each patient to diagnose the root cause of a woman’s sexual health problems. This includes using the most advanced techniques – including blood tests for hormone imbalance and GI-MAP gut health assessment. She then helps the patient employ a variety of approaches to promote healing, including nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, supplements, and other forms of complementary medicine – as well as natural hormone replacement or other medications only if necessary.

Hormone Deficiency & Women’s Sexual Health

Hormone deficiency, particularly low levels of estrogen, can also contribute to sexual problems and dysfunction in women. Testing for hormone imbalance is one of the first steps that Dr. Hakim at Prosperity Health in Royal Oak, MI will undertake when assessing sexual problems in women.

Estrogen is important for maintaining vaginal health, lubrication, and sensitivity. Low levels of estrogen can lead to vaginal dryness, discomfort during intercourse, and reduced libido.

Medical Conditions & Women’s Sexual Health

Medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease can also contribute to sexual problems and dysfunction in women. These conditions can damage blood vessels and nerves, affecting blood flow and sensation. Chronic pain conditions such as arthritis can also lead to sexual problems and dysfunction.

Smoking can lead to reduced blood flow and damage to blood vessels, which can affect sexual function. Excessive alcohol consumption can impair the ability to become aroused and reach orgasm. Lack of exercise can contribute to being overweight, which is also associated with sexual dysfunction.

Nutrition can also play a role in sexual problems and dysfunction in women.
