Why We created Pelex Sports

Athletes have unique health needs.

Due to the specific medical considerations involved in caring for athletes, Sports Medicine is a widely recognized subspecialty within several medical specialities such as Orthopaedics, Family Medicine, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. For female athletes, they are at risk for reproductive conditions such as amenorrhea (aka missed periods), low estrogen levels, and stress fractures.

While syndromes such as Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) are relatively well-known in sports medicine,

endocrinologists specializing in Sports Medicine who treat this hormone disorder are rare. At Pelex, we know that missing menstrual cycles is common in athletes, but often under treated. Although there are guidelines that address how this disorder is diagnosed, there are few recommendations regarding care besides correcting energy deficits and behavioral medicine support.
