Elevated testosterone levels can have a variety of negative effects, including an increased risk of developing certain health conditions like heart disease, diabetes and infertility. Thankfully, there are treatments available to those suffering from high testosterone levels. One such treatment is hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the ICD 10 code for elevated testosterone is Hormone Replacement Therapy - F85.9.
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a medical procedure that helps restore normal hormone levels in patients who suffer from hormone imbalances or deficiencies. The goal of HRT is to reduce symptoms caused by the imbalance or deficiency, such as fatigue, depression, weight gain and mood swings. It can also help reduce the risks associated with elevated testosterone levels, including metabolic syndrome and other conditions related to abnormal hormone levels.
HRT works by replacing low hormones with bioidentical hormones identical to the ones produced naturally inside the body; either through injections, pills or topical applications. This helps restore physiological balance in patients suffering from low or unbalanced hormones due to age or any underlying condition that affects hormone production in their bodies.
The benefits of HRT vary depending on individual cases but may include:
Patients undergoing this treatment will likely experience fewer side effects than they would when using other prescription medications to control their hormonal issues. Furthermore, since HRT uses natural hormones similar to those produced by our endocrinology system it provides balanced hormones without the risk of adverse reactions that could otherwise occur with synthetic drugs.
