Dr. Darrow
Interviewed on KCAL-9
CBS News August 3, 2006
Healthwatch this afternoon: Is
having dinner in bed the only thing that is hot about your love
life, you might want to consider professional help.
Some doctors are using hormones to enhance the love life of some
couples. Dilva Henry is here with more.
Dilva Henry: We hope
it doesn’t apply to too many people out there, but for many
people, definitely an issue. If the sizzle that use to be a big
part of your romance has fizzled, there is hope, more and more
couples are turning to hormones to get that loving feeling back.
Suzanne A is like many women going through menopause, hot
flashes, mood swings, lots of sleepless nights, and her libido
almost non-existent.
Suzanne: It was totally a lack of interest, the
desire wasn't there at all, there was no way to make you feel
romantic, or ever like it was ever going to be part of your life
again.
Husband John: It was frustrating, and it was
stressful, it created a lot of anxiety.
Dilva Henry: But
husband John tried his best to be considerate and patient.
Suzanne: If it was frustrating, he was very good.
I was very lucky in that.
Dilva Henry: John's
patience paid off, Suzanne went through a series of tests
checking hormone levels,
results showed her testosterone was also almost non-existent.
Anti-Aging specialist, Dr. Marc Darrow:
Dr. Darrow: Her libido was gone, her sensitivity
was down because her testosterone was down to nothing and that
is usually a very easy thing to revitalize by just using
testosterone.
Dilva Henry:
And women aren't the only ones susceptible to a low libido.
Dr. Darrow: Now on the male side we have the same
issues as with the female....typically it happens a little later
in life. Then we find that there is a loss of libido.
Dilva Henry: Doctors
now know hormone supplements can also help men. If you can't
tolerate testosterone for some reason...
Dr. Darrow: Sometimes I give men progesterone, a
woman's hormone? No, it’s a hormone for men.
Dilva Henry:
All explained in Dr. Darrow's upcoming book,
Loving Happily Every After
Dr. Darrow: The person has to be able to change
their lifestyle in order to become a healthier person, a happier
person.
Dilva Henry:
And Suzanne did just that
Suzanne: It is very much back, and its back in
almost a better way than it was when you were younger. You don’t
have the children at home.
Husband John: It made a big difference and it just
makes the whole relationship entirely different.
Dilva Henry: They are
both happy now, when dealing with hormones it is very important
to be in the hands of an expert and not self-medicate or buy
products that you, your doctor, or your nutritionist, perhaps
are not familiar with. For more information on hormone treatment
and testing you can call Dr. Marc Darrow at 310- 231-7000.
She didn't have any side-effects, really, some people might, but
that is another thing that has to be discussed with your doctor.
They are very happy they couldn't be more loving and life is
good again. Dinner is back on the table, and everything else is
back in the bedroom.
