Is hormone treatment safe? Are there risks or side effects?
When properly prescribed and monitored by a licensed professional, risks remain very low, especially compared to the cost of living with unhealthy
hormone imbalance. However, like any medication, some potential effects should be considered: acne, enlarged prostate, testicular shrinkage, and temporary infertility. Vivo Health minimizes likelihood through vigilant testing, conservative initial dosing, and consistent patient follow-ups.
What results can I realistically expect? How quickly will I feel better?
Most patients report significant improvements in energy, mental clarity, and well-being within the first weeks, with maximal benefits around months. However, results depend on individual factors - age, lifestyle habits, duration deficient - which providers account for in custom therapies.
Will I have to continue treatment forever once I start?
After restoring optimal levels, which may take several months, some patients can reduce dosages for adequate maintenance. However, for many, continual therapy sustains benefits, especially as aging persists. Under medical guidance, continuing treatment poses negligible risks compared to foregoing needed hormones.
Can I use insurance coverage for testing and treatment costs?
Vivo Health assists patients in exploring insurance options to defray costs, as policies vary in covered items. For uninsured individuals, we offer competitive pricing and financing programs to make care affordable. Investing in health via reputable clinicians avoids the greater financial, social, and personal costs of leaving conditions unaddressed.
