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 BHRT is a uniquely customized therapy, it's essential to follow all follow-up orders administered by Dr. Altenberg. Individuals might potentially come into contact with after 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.

El Paso Men's & Women's Clinic Reviews
Amazing Doctor! Great staff! Highly recommend!!!
He is the best physician I have .He is very caring and encouraging doctor.Thank you doctor Leo.
Absolutely adore Dr. Altenberg and his entire staff. Everyone is friendly & welcoming. Dr. Altenberg is professional, yet holds nothing back. If you want a doctor to tell you the truth & how it is, this is your guy. I respect him and his staff for being honest, kind, informative, motivating and prompt with appointment times.
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.
Very professional, goes through your labs meticulously, very nice

Am I A Candidate for Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy is often utilized to help both men and women who are dealing with decreased or imbalanced hormone amounts. Usually, these concerns are widespread among patients who are older than 40 and notice shifts in their mood, libido, weight, and mental focus. These problems could also occur in women under age 50 who have had a total hysterectomy. A hormone imbalance may cause different medical issues, such as sexual dysfunction, thyroid dysfunction, high cholesterol levels, night sweats, insomnia, and memory issues.
How long does it take to see results from hormone replacement therapy?
The time it takes to see results from hormone replacement therapy can vary depending on individual factors such as the severity of hormone imbalance and the type of therapy used. Generally, patients may start noticing improvements in symptoms like sleep quality, mood, and energy levels within a few weeks. However, it might take a few months to experience the full benefits of hormone optimization.
Are there different types of hormone replacement therapy available?
Yes, there are various forms of hormone replacement therapy available to suit different needs and preferences. At El Paso Men's & Women's Clinic, treatments can include pellet therapy, where small pellets are inserted under the skin to release hormones consistently. The choice of therapy will depend on your specific hormonal needs, lifestyle, and Dr. Leo Altenberg's recommendations.
What should I do if I experience side effects from hormone replacement therapy?
If you experience any side effects from hormone replacement therapy, it's important to contact our office immediately. The therapy might need to be adjusted to better suit your body's response. Common adjustments include changing the hormone dosage or the method of administration to mitigate any adverse effects while still achieving the desired benefits.
