HORMONE OPTIMIZATION

HCG Therapy For Men

As men age testosterone production declines and this has been identified as the major event underlying the male menopause otherwise known as Andropause.

What causes the actual drop of testosterone is still not clear. Some medical studies suggests that that the testes switch off, others indicate that the pituitary gland located in the brain produces less stimulating hormones that encourage the testes to manufacture testosterone.

New studies reveal that using a hormone known as HCG – human chorionic gonadotropin - switches on the pituitary gland which in turn increases testosterone production. HCG Therapy is a valid form of treatment for testosterone deficiency and it is a good alternative to testosterone injections or testosterone creams, gels or patches.

Increase Testosterone With HCG Treatment

Standard testosterone replacement therapy may result in a number of side effects and may cause a shut down of the body's natural testosterone production system.

This can be a problem especially if a testosterone therapy is poorly monitored by the prescribing physician and certain treatment protocols are not’t followed.

An HCG treatment, offered by Dr. Offutt at Bella Medical Spa, actually stimulates your body’s natural testosterone production.

HCG is a good “first step” to consider before testosterone replacement therapy and is prescribed for the following reasons:

• To help treat adult men experiencing hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (hypogonadism secondary to a pituitary deficiency) / Andropause / Sarcopenia.
• To help treat adult men who are potential TRT candidates based on symptoms and problems but their blood test results show Total and Free testosterone levels are normal.
• HCG therapy better mimics the body's own natural physiologic rhythm of testosterone production.
• HCG therapy is easier to maintain normal testosterone levels when administered properly.
• More physiologic testosterone levels minimize excess estrogen production (i.e., reduces aromatization) preventing high estrogen related side effects.
• Maintains normal size of testicles (in contrast, standard testosterone replacement therapy may shrink the testicles).
• Stimulates sperm production (thereby increasing/restoring fertility). In contrast, standard Testosterone Replacement Therapy may reduce sperm production.
• In many patients Dr. Offutt with Bella Medical Health has treated, HCG therapy restores normal function to testicles.

Why Hasn't My Doctor Told Me About HCG?

The only disadvantage of HCG therapy is that many doctors are unaware of this excellent treatment that enables adult men to overcome many of the problems associated with Andropause.

If you ask your own doctor about HCG, they may give you a number of reasons for not prescribing it. These excuses all add up to the fact that the vast majority of doctors don't know how to administer it properly and may not want to take the time to learn as it is not a covered procedure by Medicare or standard insurance plans.

Dr. Amy Offutt, MD is trained in HCG therapy protocols that result in safe and effective treatments. If you are interested and believe you may be a good candidate then please contact us with your questions.
