These new hormones have been developed in the USA and are FDA-approved. At the Anti-aging Medicine Center, Phyathai 3 Hospital, this therapy is used for individualized care for both men and women. Before treatment, patients must undergo evaluation by an anti-aging medicine specialist, including medical history, physical examination, internal examination, laboratory blood tests for menopause diagnosis, and other special tests. Both men and women undergoing treatment must have follow-up evaluations at least once a year and should receive complete and accurate information about the benefits, contraindications, risks, and possible side effects before starting treatment.
