Welcome to our blog!
Hi everyone,
We have a new website and blog and I am excited about having a forum to provide valuable information about your health. In the coming weeks I will be discussing the benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), Cosmetic treatments, Weight-Control treatments, and interesting case studies of health topics that interest our community of bloggers.
In our office patients who are interested in HRT fill out a symptom monitor questionaire at their initial visit to measure their symptoms of hormone imbalance from 1-10, with 10 being the worst. This week I had a lady in her early forties who had a 10 out of 10 on 13 out of 15 symptom categories such as depression, estrogen dominance, sleeplessness, irritability, and low libido. Her symptoms imply that she has a severe hormonal imbalance which means that we need to conduct tests so that we can ascertain the cause of her problems. We sent her for saliva testing, urine iodine testing, blood work, and vitamin screening. We will follow her case on future blogs to track her treatment and results.
This weekend we Spring Forward an hour! Remember to set your clocks as we move towards Springtime.
As always, our goal is to add years to your life and life to your years,
Dr. Tuakli

Dear Dr. Tuakli, I just viewed your website and read your blog. Fascinating stuff--I would like to know more about how menopause affects men. Maybe in a future blog you can share with us men how we can deal with feeling less energetic, and so on. Thank you and keep up the good work,

There are two issues with Menopause and men. First of all menopause refers to loss of ovarian function in a woman resulting in multiple symptoms.
ReplyDeleteThe equivalent state in men is called Andropause and this occurs when testicular and adrenal function decrease. It is associated with several symptoms just as menopause is in women. I would be happy to discuss these symptoms some more if you like.
The second issue is that Yes, menopause does affect men and families too because when Mama isnt happy no one is happy! Menopausal symptoms take their toll on women and all the people they are closely associated with.
