Hormone changes don’t look the same for everyone. For men, a gradual drop in testosterone can show up as fatigue, low drive, and stubborn weight gain. For women, perimenopause and menopause can bring hot flashes, poor sleep, mood changes, and brain fog, sometimes years before periods stop. At New Theory Medical in Reno, we evaluate your symptoms, health history, and lab work before recommending treatment, then adjust your plan over time with regular follow-up. We see patients from Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and across Northern Nevada.
Testosterone Therapy for Men
Testosterone declines gradually with age, and for some men it drops low enough to affect energy, mood, body composition, and sexual health. Common signs include:
- Fatigue and low motivation
- Decreased libido or erectile changes
- Loss of muscle mass and increased body fat
- Irritability, low mood, or trouble concentrating
- Poor sleep or slower recovery from exercise
How we evaluate: A diagnosis of low testosterone requires both symptoms and confirmed low levels on morning blood work. Your labs may include total and free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol, LH/FSH, a complete blood count, PSA, and a metabolic panel.
Treatment options: Your provider will explain the pros and cons of each delivery method.
Hormone Therapy for Women: Perimenopause and Menopause
Hormone shifts can begin in your late 30s or 40s, often well before menopause. Common symptoms include:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Trouble sleeping
- Mood changes, anxiety, or brain fog
- Irregular periods (in perimenopause)
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort with intimacy
- Decreased libido
How we evaluate: Because hormone levels fluctuate day to day during perimenopause, diagnosis relies mostly on your symptoms and history, with labs used to guide and monitor treatment.
Treatment options: Various replacement options are available, and your provider will develop an individualized regimen for you.
