About ProHormones
At Atlanta Cosmetic Urology, we offer prohormones for our patients who want to improve their lives, age well, lose weight, and recover from muscle fatigue or injury. Our board-certified urologist, Dr. Tariq Hakky, offers prohormone consultations in his office in Atlanta, GA. Dr. Hakky defines prohormones as proteins that are converted into active hormones in the body. He prescribes prohormone compounds of Nandrolone, DHEA, and Sermorelin for men and women who require an adjustment in their hormone levels. A blood panel (hormone tests) is required for diagnosis and will be closely monitored throughout treatment. If you would like to learn more about prohormones, please call us at Atlanta Cosmetic Urology to begin your journey to better health.

Best Candidates
To be considered as a candidate for prohormones, you will need to go through Dr. Hakky's diagnostic evaluation and blood tests to determine your eligibility. Atlanta Cosmetic Urology treats men, women, and transgender patients with medical conditions or symptoms, like:
- Obesity
- Slow metabolism
- Chronic pain and inflammation in the muscles and/or joints
- Muscle fatigue and/or atrophy
- Wounds that are slow to heal
- Abdominal lipodystrophy
- Injuries in recovery
- Sexual health concerns (difficulty with arousal, low overall libido, and/or lubrication issues)
- Low energy
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, then consulting with an experienced prohormone specialist, like Dr. Hakky, is an excellent idea.
Treatment Options
Once you have had your one-on-one consultation with Dr. Hakky and discussed your hormone levels, then you can start treatment planning. The prohormones that he prescribes may be taken as a pill or as a shot. We may need to teach you how to give yourself an injection so that you can receive the highest-quality compound medication for the healthiest outcome.
Nandrolone
Intramuscular injections of nandrolone can assist the body in building muscle, reducing inflammation, and easing joint pain. It is an androgenic anabolic steroid that is not just used for building muscles. It can also be given to postmenopausal women for osteoporosis or to a patient recovering from an injury.
DHEA
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is naturally found within the bodies of both men and women. As we age, the DHEA levels drop significantly and interrupt the functionality of other hormones, like estrogen. When DHEA decreases for women, it takes estrogen along with it. This causes medical problems, like vaginal dryness. Dr. Hakky wants you to know that no matter what your gender, DHEA can renew your hormone levels and your sexual wellness. It can be taken orally or via injection.
Sermorelin
Because it stimulates the production of human growth hormone, sermorelin can improve your metabolism and give you a boost in your weight loss efforts. Sermorelin can be taken as an oral medication (pill) or as an injection.
What to Expect
We can send your prohormone prescription to the Empower Compounding Pharmacy where you can order your supply. A cycle of prohormone therapy usually lasts for 3 – 6 months, but this is dependent on how you respond to the treatment, the severity of symptoms, and how well you tolerate the side effects. Many of our patients see improvement within 4 – 6 weeks of starting the therapy, such as:
- Increase in muscle mass
- More energy and focus
- Abdominal weight loss
- Reduction in joint pain
- Satisfying night's sleep
- Enhanced lubrication during sexual arousal
Monitoring your hormone levels will be of the utmost importance in guiding your treatment. Dr. Hakky will want you to have blood work completed before he refills prescriptions. Then he can increase or decrease your dosage as needed.
