Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men (BHRT)?

BHRT for men is a medical treatment using hormones, such as testosterone, that are chemically identical to those the body naturally produces. It aims to restore hormone balance in men experiencing hormonal decline due to aging, leading to improved energy, mood, sexual function and overall health.

How does BHRT for men differ from traditional hormone therapy?

Traditional hormone therapy often uses synthetic hormones, which can lead to more side effects. At 8 West Clinic, our approach to BHRT for men uses bioidentical hormones derived from natural sources, designed to match your body's natural hormones closely, potentially reducing adverse effects and offering more personalized treatment.

Who is a good candidate for BHRT for men?

Men experiencing symptoms of andropause, such as fatigue, mood swings, decreased libido and sexual function, weight gain, and cognitive decline, may benefit from BHRT. An evaluation by a healthcare professional at 8 West Clinic will determine if BHRT is appropriate for your specific needs.

How soon can results from BHRT for men be expected?

Many men begin to notice improvements in symptoms within a few weeks of starting BHRT, though full benefits may take a few months. Each individual's response varies, and ongoing monitoring ensures optimal results.

Is BHRT for me a lifelong treatment?

The duration of BHRT varies depending on individual health goals and response to therapy. Some men choose to continue treatment long-term, while others may use it temporarily. Continuous assessment with your provider will guide the treatment plan for your unique needs.

Does BHRT for men help with weight loss?

While BHRT itself is not a weight loss treatment, it can support weight management by improving energy levels, increasing muscle mass, and optimizing metabolism, making exercise and healthy living more effective.
