Hormone Replacement Therapy Treatment – Sleep Problems
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) has emerged as a safer and more effective alternative to traditional hormone therapy for a variety of problems related to hormone imbalances. Irregular sleep, sleep apnea, and insomnia may be associated with hormone deficiency in men following andropause, or even in women.
These conditions can be addressed in a more precise and customized manner with BHRT. American Integrative Pharmacy (AIP) provides advanced treatments in compounding pharmacy, including BHRT, to patients in Long Beach, Torrance, Los Angeles, South Bay Orange County, Southern California areas, and nationwide.
Cause of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) may occur due to obstruction in breathing. People with excessive tissue resulting from obesity or those with reduced muscle tone resulting from low testosterone levels may suffer from this condition. OSA inhibits the flow of air in the nose and mouth, causing the person to snore and have a reduced ability for sufficient oxygenation during sleep.
As a result, many men have an irregular sleep, and wake up multiple times at night or fail to achieve sound sleep. While other types of sleep apnea may be caused due to other reasons, OSA is usually caused due to muscle laxity arising from low testosterone levels in the body.
Treatment
Customized hormone treatments in integrative pharmacy are now available to treat this condition of OSA. BHRT, along with an individualized nutrition plan, a targeted supplement regimen, and other key lifestyle adjustments can address the condition of sleep apnea and insomnia in men. BHRT will help to restore optimal levels of testosterone, which will in turn support muscle tightening.
BHRT should be combined with correct nutrition and fitness regimen to mitigate the hormonal and lifestyle causes of OSA. Furthermore, experienced pharmacists supported by physicians can measure and balance the insulin, cortisol and other hormone levels that are disrupted by the sleep apnea condition. With a professional bio-identical hormone therapy plan, the patient can regain sleep and have an improved quality of life.
Testosterone and Muscle Loss
Muscle loss can be directly attributed to reducing levels of testosterone hormone in many men. Testosterone is vital to the production and maintenance of robust muscles. The hormone binds to receptors in the muscle cells, causing the muscles to grow and contract.
When a male suffers from decreased testosterone production, it can contribute to muscle loss because the binding agent of the muscle cells is now depleted. A scientifically managed BHRT plan at a dedicated compounding pharmacy can help to reverse this loss.
BHRT for Men
Muscle mass and muscle strength can be significantly improved with BHRT treatment, which will help to treat obstructive sleep apnea in men. However, many men are unaware that andropause is a ‘male menopause’ condition that can affect males and cause gradual hormone reduction.
BHRT is a safe and effective procedure for men who seek solutions to sleep problems such as irregular sleep, insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea. AIP provides online prescription refills apart from traditional delivery of compounded medications to patients in Long Beach, Torrance, Los Angeles, South Bay Orange County, other Southern California areas, and all throughout the nation.
