In my years of specializing in urogynecology, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless women regain control of their lives by treating conditions like incontinence and prolapse. While the satisfaction of resolving these specific health challenges was immense, I often heard patients express a wish—that the other issues they were grappling with could also be ‘fixed.’ Upon deeper discussion, it became apparent that many were experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause and menopause, initially manifesting as vaginal dryness but extending to a range of other issues as well.

This led me to broaden my medical lens to include Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) as a key part of my practice. Just as we routinely replace insulin in diabetics or thyroxine in those with thyroid imbalances, I was struck by the compelling data in published literature suggesting that the absence of hormones can promote disease. While it perplexed me that some in the medical community chose to leave these hormonal imbalances untreated, thereby indirectly promoting other health-related issues, I knew that I wanted to do more for my patients.

I introduced Hormone Replacement Therapy for both women facing menopausal symptoms and men experiencing symptoms of andropause. The transformations were not just heartening; they were life-changing. I witnessed firsthand how replacing essential hormones could not only alleviate discomfort but also mitigate risks associated with chronic diseases. The positive feedback from patients who not only felt better physically but also experienced a marked improvement in their quality of life was immensely gratifying.
To further amplify these successes, I extended the scope of my practice to include a dedicated Wellness Center, emphasizing education and holistic approaches to health. The center focuses on providing insights into well-being, including considerations for a balanced lifestyle.

Today, my practice is not just about treating symptoms or specific health conditions; it’s about empowering men and women to take control of their health at every stage of life. The joy and fulfillment I’ve derived from this extension of my work, helping people become the best versions of themselves, have been some of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

Dr. Peter Lotze is an esteemed Urogynecologist who established his pioneering practice in Houston in 2002. As one of the first physicians to receive Board Certification in Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery in 2013, he has earned a reputation for excellence in the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of female pelvic health and urinary incontinence. His areas of clinical expertise include conditions such as prolapse (e.g., cystocele, rectocele, uterine/vaginal prolapse) and urinary (stress) incontinence, along with irritating bladder symptoms like frequency and urgency. Leveraging advanced diagnostic technologies, including flexible cystoscopy and multichannel urodynamics, Dr. Lotze creates individualized treatment plans that encompass both medical and surgical options, with a focus on minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopic and vaginal approaches.

Building on his extensive experience in urogynecology, Dr. Lotze expanded his practice to include a Wellness Center specializing in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

This integrated approach equips patients to actively engage in their wellness journey, aiming for a higher quality of life.
