Hormone Replacement Therapy in El Paso, TX
WHAT IS HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?
Your hormones govern various facets of your total wellness, like your emotions, as well as your sex drive. Imbalanced hormones can happen in patients of any gender, whether as a result of stress, advancing in years, or childbirth. Hormonal imbalances commonly lead to issues, like fatigue, low libido, sleeping difficulties, and weight increases. At El Paso Men's & Women's Clinic, we offer hormone replacement therapy to optimize your hormone levels and allow you to receive improvements to your mood, sexual desire, and mental acuity. Connect with Dr. Leo Altenberg and the skilled team at our practice in El Paso, TX to arrange a consultation.
HOW DOES HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY WORK?
After a thorough exam and discussion with Dr. Altenberg, your individualized hormone therapy outline will be created. To start the treatment, a blood sample along with additional diagnostic tests will be done to investigate your existing hormone amounts. This will help us determine the dosage and form of treatment that might help you the most, as well as the hormones that are out of balance. Your procedure might vary based on the type of treatment that is preferred. Hormone replacement therapy is often given as small pellets that are embedded underneath your skin (pellet therapy). The hormones are structurally identical to your body's biological hormones.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER HORMONE THERAPY?
Since HRT is a uniquely customized therapy, it's essential to follow all follow-up orders administered by Dr. Altenberg. Individuals might experience side effects such as tenderness, acne, hair growth, and moodiness as the body adjusts to the newfound hormone numbers. Over the progression of your therapy, our team will check in with you to inspect your growth. Your dosage and treatment regimen can additionally be changed as recommended. Some patients perceive the soothing results from hormone replacement therapy over about a week subsequent to the start of their therapy.

Superb experience. I instantly liked Dr. Altenberg and his staff. Very professional and super-nice. Dr. Altenberg is knowledgeable and clearly an expert in his field.

EL PASO MEN'S & WOMEN'S CLINIC REVIEWS
Dr. Altenberg is my new primary care doctor. I switched because with my old primary care doctor, I saw PA’s for 2 years. My wait in the waiting room and the examine room was short. He took his time to understand my issues and asked probing questions to better determine what next steps should be. He did not immediately prescribe unnecessary pills. Rather he is doing extensive blood work and muscosketal X-rays. He also wants to know specifically what existing conditions I have and what my parents died of which will also help him. His office staff have been very helpful on the phone and in the office. I highly recommend Dr. Altenberg and his great staff.
