Testosterone is a controlled substance that can create unwanted side effects, so it mandates restrictions around its use. That said, Winona does not prescribe testosterone. However, we do provide DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) therapy as a safer alternative with similar benefits.
βDHEA is a hormone precursor that gets broken down into estrogen and testosterone in the body. It's a safe and legal way to gently raise testosterone levels. Winona physicians are careful to prescribe DHEA in dosages that offer similar benefits but greatly reduce the risk of the side effects of testosterone.
DHEA is prescribed by our physicians on a case-by-case basis after evaluating a patient's medical history and symptoms.
