Therapeutic phlebotomy is a medical procedure that removes blood from the body to treat specific health conditions. This service is particularly effective for managing hemochromatosis and polycythemia vera, conditions characterized by excess iron or red blood cells that can damage organs over time. The procedure works similarly to blood donation, safely extracting a controlled volume of blood to reduce harmful levels and restore balance to your system. Therapeutic phlebotomy is also commonly used for individuals undergoing testosterone replacement therapy, as elevated hematocrit levels can be a side effect requiring periodic blood removal to maintain optimal health markers. Our trained phlebotomists perform this procedure with precision and care, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. Regular therapeutic phlebotomy sessions, as prescribed by your healthcare provider, can significantly improve symptoms and reduce long-term health risks associated with blood disorders.
