Adverse effects of Hormone Imbalance:

There is a growing concern of hormone imbalance with the use of opioids (Pain Pills).

Table 1 above, lists the most common symptoms of hormone imbalances. Most of us may have no symptoms while others will suffer from significant changes. Most notable are loss of sexual drive, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, strength and depression.

For example; Opiate use in Pain Management will decrease your gonadal sex hormones, growth hormone, cortisol, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) levels. Opiates blunt the cortisol response to corticotropin, a hormone in your brain that responds to stress. This abnormal response decreases your ability to cope with daily stress and increases your pain level. This vicious cycle may be responsible for your depression and has a negative effect on your Quality of Life.
While the clinical significance of decreased growth hormone and cortisol levels remain speculative, decreased sex hormones with lack of sexual drive and performance are well documented. See Table 2.

Conclusion:

The prescribed use of medications to control pain are not without consequences. Research has implied short term use of only 3-4 weeks of medication may have far reaching negative effects. To reduce your chance of developing these effects, only use medication at the lowest dosage and only when needed.

Immediate release medications are preferred over extended release medications. Your physician must be aware of the various challenges associated with medications used for pain control. Patients are advised to discuss symptoms outlined in table 1 & 2 if and when they occur.

*Blood test to determine your hormone levels are obtained via a simple blood draw.

Our physician is a Diplomat of The American Anti-Aging Society with Advanced Hormone Training. When requested he will order the appropriate testing and hormone replacements.
