Low Libido

Would you believe that a woman’s sex drive (libido) starts decreasing naturally between the ages of 30 and 33?  It’s true, although we often treat young newlyweds for the same problem. The hormone in question? Testosterone.  

There are several other hormones involved (estrogen, progesterone, and DHEA), however, the biggest culprit is testosterone. A man’s testosterone begins decreasing in his mid- to late-40’s.  

Many reasons exist for hormonal decreases including hormones in beef and chicken, medications, stress, pollution, previous use of birth control pills, cleaning chemicals, etc.).  At our Center, we make up for “lost” hormones by using bio-identical testosterone.  

Of course, very small amounts of this hormone are used – women need not fear that they will have undesirable side effects.  Bio-identical testosterone is safe and effective in restoring lost sex drive in both women and men.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


"I'm a 58 year-old dentist. I have been active all my life, but about 4 years ago my wife accused me of being a "couch potato'. I was so tired all the time. I had lost the passion I once had for my profession, even though I kept at it. My drive was gone. I wasn't the typical aggressive guy I had always been. I felt like my battery was totally drained.

The testing showed that I was quite low in thyroid, and extremely low in testosterone. After 6 months of hormone therapy, I'm back on top of my game! Personally I think any man over 50 who is wearing down should get checked for low hormone levels. I sent my younger brother in and he was low too. I bet my partner$10 that his hormones were low. They were, and now he's a believer , too."
