Our clinic offers a comprehensive approach to hormone therapy:
Hormones are chemical messengers produced by glands (testes, adrenal glands, pituitary gland). They regulate various bodily functions.
| Hormone | Source | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Testosterone | Testes | Muscle mass, bone density, libido, male characteristics |
| Estrogen | Testes (small amt) | Bone health, other bodily functions |
| DHEA | Adrenal glands | Precursor hormone for testosterone and other hormones |
| Growth Hormone (GH) | Pituitary gland | Muscle growth, bone density, metabolism |
