Want to increase your sex desire, even though you’re an older woman with a lessening libido, memory loss, mood swings and weight gain?
Why not just surgically implant some testosterone pellets under your skin near your hip and have the mostly male hormone steroids slowly ooze into your body to possibly boost your lust.
“When hormones are out of control, many women turn to pills, patches or injections,” according to a Chicago doctor.
That Chicago doctor is using hormone pellets with testosterone to “add balance” to his patients’ lives, according to a statement from the doctor’s office.
It wasn’t clear if the same therapy is available in the Los Angeles area.
“The results of the therapy have been remarkable,” said physician Paul Savage, founder and lead physician of Agenixs, an anti-aging concierge medical practice.
according to the doctor’s statement, the procedure is “quick, painless, and doesn’t require stitches. The pellets are inserted under the skin just above the hip, and will last three to four months.”
The doctor’s office statement said that Forbes magazine recently reported on several studies regarding the effects of adding testosterone pellets to conventional hormone replacement therapy.
“Researchers found that women taking testosterone have reduced incidences of breast cancer, and that testosterone can suppress breast cell proliferation and improve the common symptoms of menopause.”
One patient, 44, had surgically induced menopause through a hysterectomy when she was 35.
“I would say truthfully I felt a little dead inside,” the doctor’s statement quoted her as saying.”Nothing seemed fun anymore. I slept a lot. I had spurts of memory loss. I was just miserable.”
That patient “has been receiving both testosterone and estrogen pellets for nearly six years, and said it’s changed her life.”
“After the pellets are inserted, within 48 hours, I will wake up, and I will know my system has taken it in,” she said. “My brain fog is gone. I sleep better. You don’t have the dips that come with oral medications. It’s a more consistent release. The pellets have helped me with anxiety, weight loss, libido, mental clarity. It’s like night and day.”
Without hormone replacement therapy, Savage said, women are “increasingly at risk for serious health consequences that also include osteoporosis, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and diabetes.” The doctor’s statement came with the usual disclaimers making no promises and providing appropriate warnings.
