If you’re looking for a way to improve your quality of life as you age, you may want to look at bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Cinthia Becerra, a pioneer of hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) in Mexico for more than nine years, offers the only clinic in Mexico (Pause Clinic) that specializes only in Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement. In addition to being a center focused on raising the quality of life of people through the prevention of premature aging. “Our experience shows that both men and women can benefit from bio-identical hormone replacement therapy as it can alleviate a wide range of symptoms associated with menopause, andropause, as well as other hormone-related conditions,” Dr. Becerra said.
If you are a male, and over the age of 40, you may need to have your testosterone levels checked. Dr. Becerra’s clinic can help with that, and help set you on a treatment course if the levels are low.
“Testosterone is the main male sex hormone and is responsible for sexual development, as well as being essential for improving body composition, maintaining normal energy levels, being able to have an erect penis, increasing libido, among many other things,” she said. “Llowering hormonal levels and thus increasing the risk of diseases such as metabolic syn-
drome, cardiovascular disorders, osteoporosis, diabetes and hypertension.” How do you know if your testosterone levels are low? The body is the main indicator to know if something is wrong. Some common symptoms include: • Decreased sex drive • Erectile dysfunction and ejaculation disorders • Decrease in muscle mass • Dry Skin • Emotional disorders such as mood swings, anxiety, or irritability • Sleep disorders and trouble resting • Loss of body fat in abdomen and pectoral area. For women facing menopause, Bioidentical hormones are a perfect treatment. The hormones are molecular matches found in the human body and do not present the same risks as synthetic or animal ones. “And they are ideal for women and men who begin with biological stages that appear at a certain age (such as menopause and andropause),” the doctor explained. “This treatment slows down the changes that can occur in the body due to external factors or habits. Its use is recommended when there is a hormonal imbalance in the body.”
