Hormone pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). It involves the use of pellets, which are about the size of a grain of rice, containing hormones identical to those our bodies naturally produce. These pellets are inserted subcutaneously, usually in the hip area, where they gradually release small, physiologic doses of hormones over several months.
The Science Behind the Therapy
Hormone pellet therapy works by delivering consistent hormone levels into the bloodstream, avoiding the fluctuations that are often associated with other forms of hormone therapy. The pellets contain hormones derived from natural plant sources and are custom-compounded to match each patient's individual hormonal requirements.
Benefits of Hormone Pellet Therapy
Why opt for hormone pellet therapy over other types of hormone treatments? The benefits include:
Who Can Benefit from Hormone Pellet Therapy?
Hormone pellet therapy is suitable for men and women dealing with hormonal imbalances, particularly those related to menopause, perimenopause, andropause, or other endocrine disorders. It is vital, however, to undergo a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional to determine if this therapy is appropriate for your specific condition.
The Process: What to Expect
The insertion of hormone pellets is a quick, in-office procedure. After administering a local anesthetic, a small incision is made, usually in the hip area, and the pellets are inserted. The incision is then closed, often without the need for sutures. The procedure typically takes less than an hour, and patients can return to their daily activities with minimal downtime.
Are There Any Side Effects of hormone pellet therapy?
As with any medical treatment, there can be side effects. These might include bruising or discomfort at the insertion site, breast tenderness, water retention, or acne. However, these side effects are generally mild and resolve on their own.
