Testosterone is the male sex hormone that is responsible for male characteristics such as larger muscles, facial and body hair, and a deep voice. As men age, testosterone levels can drop causing a condition known as ‘Low T’. The slow decline of testosterone is part of the natural aging process with the majority of men losing between 1-3% of their natural testosterone every year after the age of 30. However, other lifestyle factors can contribute to the loss of testosterone such as poor nutrition, chemotherapy, certain medications, obesity and alcohol consumption. River City OB/GYN of Midlothian, VA is pleased to offer a safe and effective hormone replacement therapy for men who are experiencing low testosterone.

What is SottoPelle® Hormone Replacement Therapy For Men?

SottoPelle® hormone replacement therapy uses a hormone pellet system inserted under the skin (subdermal), usually in the hip area, to deliver a steady, consistent and natural hormone replacement designed to restore your well-being. SottoPelle® is an all-natural, bioidentical hormone replacement that delivers a continual release of plant-based hormones as the body needs it. SottoPelle® Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) is compounded to the highest industry standards and is the most natural method of hormone replacement.

How Does SottoPelle® Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men Work?

SottoPelle® therapy is individualized to each person’s unique hormone requirements. At your hormone replacement consultation, our team will collect medical history information as well as some lab work that provides data on your hormone levels. SottoPelle® uses a proprietary dosing algorithm to determine the exact amount of bioidentical hormones your body needs. Your blood work will be checked periodically to determine the pellet therapy is working and you are getting the proper amount of bio-identical hormone.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone

It may be challenging to determine what normal testosterone levels are for each person as hormones naturally fluctuate throughout the day and many lifestyle factors can influence the results. However, there are certain symptoms that may indicate low testosterone levels such as:

  • Reduced libido 
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Mild depression
  • Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of muscle mass and strength
  • Increased body fat
  • Infertility

Testosterone is responsible for more than just the sex drive. It directly affects bone density, metabolic functions, red blood cell regulation, energy levels and cognitive function. It also helps reduce the risk of developing certain illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes.

What to Expect During Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

SottoPelle® hormone pellets will need to be implanted under the skin (subdermally) during a quick office procedure. The pellets are about the size of a grain of rice and are placed in the subcutaneous fat using a local anesthetic.

Once your pellet therapy has been properly dosed for your individual requirements, we can schedule your hormone replacement appointment. The pellets begin working instantly by releasing a low dose of a natural hormone that flows directly into the bloodstream as the body needs it. For men, SottoPelle® therapy will last 6 to 7 months and we will calibrate your individual dosage, which can be adjusted, if needed, throughout hormone replacement treatment.

The Benefits of SottoPelle® Therapy for Men

Traditional hormone replacement therapy uses synthetic hormones in the form of gels, patches or pills to replace testosterone and these treatments can be less effective and less precise with more undesirable side effects. With SottoPelle® pellet therapy, you know you are getting the exact amount of bioidentical testosterone you need to be delivered in a continuous and consistent manner. Bioidentical hormone pellets are more effective and cause fewer unwanted side effects than lab-created hormones. Additional benefits of SottoPelle® include:

  • Improved sexual performance
  • Restored sexual desire
  • Reduced risk of osteoporosis
  • Improved mood 
  • More energy
  • Improved muscle mass
  • Decrease body fat

In addition to the physical benefits of SottoPelle® hormone replacement therapy, it may also improve mental clarity as well as memory function. River City OB/GYN is pleased to offer men the opportunity to experience a renewed sense of well-being and the health benefits of all-natural, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

We look forward to helping you optimize your physical and mental health and enjoy life to the fullest. If you would like to learn more about how SottoPelle® can work for you, please call (804)362-0808 today!
