Hormone Therapy for Men & Women for Hanover, NJ

Tired all afternoon, awake half the night

Running out of energy and sleeping badly are two complaints that often lead people to wonder about their hormones. Hormone replacement therapy at Montville MedSpa & Pain Center treats both men and women. Men whose testosterone is confirmed low by blood work are offered testosterone replacement therapy (TRT); women are offered estrogen and progesterone therapy through perimenopause, menopause and the years beyond it. The way those two complaints show up differs between the sexes, so it helps to look at each.

How it tends to look

In women, sleep is often broken by hot flashes and night sweats, or simply never feels restful, and the tiredness that follows comes with brain fog, a shorter fuse and weight settling at the middle.

In men, the pattern more often starts in the daytime: stamina that fades well before evening, workouts that take longer to recover from, less drive, and irritability that does not feel like them.

In either, concentration slips, mood dips and intimacy loses its pull.

Why your blood work comes before any answer

Fatigue and poor sleep have plenty of causes besides hormones, so nothing is prescribed from a list of symptoms. At a consultation in our Towaco office you describe what has changed and give a full history, and your levels are then measured. Those numbers are read next to how you actually feel, since two people with identical results may need different things. A personal or family history of hormone-sensitive cancer, blood clots or certain heart and circulation problems can rule therapy out. If hormones are not behind your tiredness, you will be told that directly.

If treatment suits you

You choose between an injection, which allows exact doses that are easy to fine-tune, and a cream or gel applied to the skin each day. In the practice’s own experience energy, mood and sleep are often first to shift, commonly within two to four weeks, while libido, body composition and mental clarity tend to need two to three months. Results vary, and your physician sets expectations from your own labs. Repeat testing and in-person reviews follow, with the dose moved on evidence.

The physician answerable for every plan is Dr. Donna D’Alessio, MD, founder and owner of the practice and board certified in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. Nurse practitioner Tanya Santoro, NP-C brings a particular focus on testosterone therapy.

The drive from Cedar Knolls
