The thyroid gland, located in the front of the neck just below the Adam’s apple, takes iodine from the diet and makes thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone affects a person’s physical energy, temperature, weight and mood (CDC).
Men may experience a loss of ability to perform during intimacy because of many factors. Effective treatment is focused on first finding the cause.
Erectile dysfunction may be associated with Diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, or following surgery to address serious prostate issues, such as enlargement or cancer. Any surgery on the prostate can lead to ED. If you are experiencing issues with urinary voiding, you owe it to yourself to discuss this with a doctor.
If you have ED, there are treatment options and we are glad to help. Once the cause is determined, we can work together on a treatment that both you and your partner will find acceptable.

Hormones are chemical messengers with an incredibly import role in managing body activities.
As we age, and with some disease conditions, our bodies lose the ability to make hormones as quickly and completely as we need them. That's where hormone treatment becomes important.
While there are hundreds of hormones, several that are commonly enhanced are:
While it may be common to replace these and other hormones, it is critical to do so with great care and under medical supervision. These are powerful substances, each capable of producing unintended effects.
We are proud to have developed significant expertise in hormone therapy, and we are happy to help you correct any hormone imbalances you may have.
We offer hormone replacement by multiple techniques, including pellet implanation.
Women may experience loss of desire for intimacy with aging. Finding the underlying reason is an important process prior to initiating treatment.
The cause may be a loss of libido resulting from inadequate testosterone, or pain with intimacy (called dyspareunia) that accompanies thinning and drying tissues which results from a lack of estrogen.
We can help with evaluation and treatment of hormonal imbalances.
Unrelated to hormonal imbalances, a woman may lose interest because of external stressors - financial, emotional, or physical. This is why working to get to the root of the problem is so important.
We can help with genital lesion removal and with fertility and contraception.
By the way, have your ever heard of "Scream Cream?" Yes, it does pretty much what you would expect.
Men of all ages can and do experience difficulties with intimacy. As a male ages, he may be producing less testosterone (called hypogonadism) which results in a loss of libido and stamina. This is the man who feels he's "lost his mojo."
These days, it seems like everyone in jumping on the testosterone bandwagon - but careful medical supervision is really important.
This is why we test hormone levels and create a plan for each man, individually.
If a man takes too much testosterone, the adverse effects may include episodes of rage; acne on face, chest or back; loss of hair; and loss of testicular size and function.
Estrogen and Progesterone hormones are produced in greatly reduced volumes after menopause. Replacement of these hormones can go a long way to helping you feel like your normal self.
However, not all replacement hormones are the same as the naturally-occurring hormones.
We use bioidentical hormones for the best effect.
Hormones may be inserted in the fat under the skin on the hip in a quick, nearly painless procedure that takes about 15 minutes - after which you can go back to work (if you want to).
After an evaluation to identify which hormones you need and the appropriate dose of hormone, we drape the area of the implant, numb it with lidocaine, make a small stab incision with a scalpel, then use a small tool called a trocar to insert the pellet(s). We use some small bandages to close the incision and cover it with a dressing. Total time is very short and pain is minimal.
