Human Growth Hormone Therapy for Women in St George, Utah

What is Human Growth Hormone Deficiency?
Growth hormone deficiencies in women are a result of the pituitary gland not producing enough of this hormone. Adequate levels help women retain skin elasticity and improve body-fat ratio. Additionally, balancing human growth hormone levels significantly reduces a woman's risk of developing osteoporosis - a condition estimated to affect 1 out of every 5 women, including our patients in St George, Utah.
Human Growth Hormone Therapy
Although the use of human growth hormone (HGH) is more common among men trying to build lean muscle mass, many women are now turning to HGH for its weight loss benefits. While some women in St George, Utah may require growth hormone therapy to correct an underlying human growth hormone deficiency, studies have proven that otherwise healthy women can achieve the same results with some basic lifestyle changes, such as eating better and exercising more often.
Human growth hormone levels in women typically begin to decline in a woman's early 20's. Although HGH plays a role in helping women maintain a healthy target weight, most of the time, middle-aged weight gain - especially in the stomach, hips and thighs - is the result of hormonal changes taking place within the body. Many of these changes occur during menopause, as estrogen and progesterone levels begin to decline.
More likely than not, symptoms like weight gain, sleep disturbance, low sex drive, and many others, can be caused by additional unbalanced hormones including estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. These hormonal imbalances are oftentimes brought on by perimenopause, menopause, adrenal fatigue and thyroid dysfunction. Whether an HGH deficiency is present or not, hormone testing can help determine which treatment route is best for you.
