Hormone Replacement Therapy

Progesterone is produced in the ovaries after ovulation and is also made by the placenta during pregnancy. Although its role is more specialized to aid in the menstrual cycle, it is a crucial hormone, and imbalance can affect uterine lining, pregnancy, and estrogen production after ovulation.

Although testosterone is considered a male hormone, it still plays a small but vital role in women's health and is produced in tiny amounts in the adrenal glands and ovaries. It is an essential hormone for libido, regulation of menstrual cycles, as well as bone and muscle strength.

When any of these hormones are out of balance, it is important to return them to homeostasis. Women’s needs for each of these hormones fluctuate throughout life due to puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and even throughout the menstrual cycle each month. As menopause approaches, hormone production in the ovaries begins to slow down - estrogen begins to fluctuate more, and progesterone levels steadily decline. This typically happens around the age of 50 but can vary widely between individuals.

At Dr. Dekel, we use BioIdentical hormone therapy specifically designed for your personal needs.

Diabetes

With each form of diabetes, patients have to manage their blood sugar levels. Glucose comes from the carb and proteins that we eat, and our bodies need to maintain certain levels of glucose in the blood to operate. For patients with Type 1 diabetes, treatments focus on managing the levels of insulin in the body. When you eat carbohydrates, the body breaks them down into glucose, with insulin being responsible for moving the glucose from the blood into the body's cells, where it is either used for energy production or converted into Triglycerides and then to stored fat.

Women's Health

Maintaining cognitive health is essential to the overall wellbeing of every woman. At Dr. Dekel MD, we understand the unique ways that women’s and men’s health differ, and strive to address your individual needs from that perspective. Many neurological conditions are brought about by age, but there are still many more that are a result of injury, illness, or medications, to name a few. Unfortunately, conventional medicine generally “treats” cognitive and neurological conditions with medication, ignoring the underlying cause completely. While medication can certainly be a benefit, it is not always the best option and sometimes only functions as a bandage covering up the problem underneath.

Erectile Dysfunction

There are several different kinds of male sexual dysfunctions, and at Dr. Dekel MD, we are here to help find the best solution for your individual needs. Sexual dysfunction is considered any physical or psychological problem which prevents you or your partner from achieving sexual satisfaction and can include conditions such as erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders, and decreased sexual desire or libido. While it affects men of all ages, it does become more common with age, and it is estimated that it affects 50% of American men over the age of 40.

Pain Management

Dr. Dekel MD specializes in pain management. According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM), “Chronic pain affects more Americans than
diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined.” If you are experiencing pain, we want to help! We are dedicated to helping patients regain pain-free lives. Oftentimes, people do not seek help for pain until it worsens. We want to help at the onset of symptoms, so they do not progress.

Weight Loss & Nutrition

There is more than one way to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Many people think that the only way to be healthy is to be on an extreme diet and exercise daily. We recommend that you start slow, and pace yourself. For example, simply choosing one thing that you could do every day to improve your health is a common way for people to begin. Is there a food or activity that is a part of your daily routine that could be replaced with one that is a healthier choice? Could you replace your soda with a sparkling water or water bottle? You are more likely to stick to a change if you start small rather than trying to change all your unhealthy habits at once. Becoming healthy does not happen overnight, but over time you can continue to make changes to improve your health.

Breast, Thyroid and Dental Thermography

What is thermography?

Thermography is a valuable tool used by a health care practitioner to evaluate the health of the body. Thermography uses a specialized camera to take pictures of an infrared image from the body. It serves as a clinical imaging procedure for detecting and monitoring a number of diseases and physical injuries, by showing thermal abnormalities present in the body. It is painless and there is no contact with the body.

Thermography offers individuals an alternative or complimentary means to assessing tissue to evaluate health and prevent major health challenges.
