Men’s Health

Few men actually like going to the doctor. However, there comes a point in every man’s life when he doesn’t feel quite like himself anymore. Daily discomforts, such as weight gain, low sex drive, irritability, or low energy, are dismissed as signs of aging and soon compile, making getting out of bed each day a struggle.

The truth is that though these symptoms commonly affect men around middle age, they are not normal signs of aging. As a man ages, testosterone levels decline leading to symptoms to the unwelcome “signs of aging,” that affect most men in their late 40s and 50s.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone in Men

Health Solutions for Men

Low testosterone, or low T, not only affects a man’s quality of life with uncomfortable symptoms, it also increases his risk for disease. Research has shown that low levels of testosterone put men at an increased risk for heart attack and stroke, as well as contribute to the development of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Low T is not a condition that men should take lightly. Men who are experiencing symptoms of low testosterone should seek the advice of a qualified physician who specializes in hormone health and will partner with him to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that will address low testosterone while also optimizing his overall health and quality of life.*

At Greenville Rejuvenation, Dr. Kenneth Orbeck is specially trained and certified in functional medicine and offers a variety of therapies, including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and platelet rich plasma therapies, to help men restore hormone balance, experience superior health, and enjoy a higher quality of life.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy for Men

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is gaining momentum among patients and clinicians as the leading option for addressing symptoms of hormone imbalance. A 2015 survey found that 41 percent of patients prefer BHRT to conventional hormone therapy and more than 60 percent of practitioners prescribe BHRT to their patients.

The evidence of the benefits is overwhelming, especially when it comes to men’s health, where expert panelists from major medical organizations have heralded testosterone therapy as low risk, high reward option for optimizing men’s health.

Pellet Therapy for Men

Pellet therapy is the most preferred delivery method for bioidentical testosterone among both patients and physicians. The pellet offers men easy, convenient, no-hassle dosing while delivering optimal benefits. The popularity of pellet therapy is closely linked to the benefits. A pellet is inserted into the upper hip area of the buttocks during a short office visit and is metabolized by the body over the course of the treatment cycle. This delivery method closely mimics the body’s natural hormone secretion process, therefore reducing or eliminating many of the side effects associated with other delivery methods.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy for Men

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is the revolutionary treatment option that offers men the opportunity to revitalize aged and damaged tissue throughout the body. PRP therapies use growth factors sourced from a patient’s own blood and inject them back into the body at specific sites to improve function and appearance. PRP treatments for men include:

• The Priapus-Shot® (P-Shot) is a dynamic PRP treatment for enhancing or restoring sexual function in men by injecting platelet rich plasma into specific sites in the penis to stimulate repair, promote longer, stronger erections, and enhance performance.*
• The Vampire Facelift® is the only organic facelift. Using platelet rich plasma, men can restore volume, diminish fine lines, and smooth wrinkles without surgery.*
• Scalp PRP Therapy helps address male hair loss by injecting platelet-rich plasma into the scalp to revive damaged hair follicles, stimulating natural hair growth once again.*
