Hormone Pellets

Hormone pellet therapy is a method of replacing hormones in males and females with forms of estrogen or testosterone along with a combination of hormones for optimum health and safety. Hormone pellets are small rice-like pellet implants (commonly estradiol, made from plant sources, or testosterone) that your healthcare professional inserts under your skin. Once the pellet is inserted in its place, it slowly dissolves into your bloodstream and restores hormone balance.

Estrogen Hormone Therapy

Estrogens are very important hormones, ones that regulate many functions in the body. Many women suffer from estrogen hormone imbalance, where the body is producing either too much estrogen or too little. Estrogen imbalance has many serious symptoms, including emotional distress, weight gain, breast soreness, frequent bleeding or heavy bleeding. However, estrogen imbalance is treatable with estrogen pellet therapy.

Estradiol Hormone Pellet Therapy: what to expect?

Hormone Pellet Therapy involves the insertion of pellets in a simple, pain-free in- office procedure. The pellets are inserted under the skin – usually in the buttock or hip area. These pellets gradually release hormones directly into the blood similar to the way the ovaries produce hormones during the younger adult years. For ideal results, it usually takes a few weeks up to three months to feel the full effects. Over time, you will feel improved sexual wellness, increased energy and relief of menopausal symptoms and an overall improved sense of wellbeing. Most of the patients experience negligible or no side effects from the hormone pellet therapy.

Testosterone Pellet Therapy For Women

Testosterone is one of the main sex hormones of a woman’s body that helps many functions to run smoothly. These functions include sex drive, energy and mood. As women age, testosterone levels start to decline and become especially low after menopause. Some people might not be aware but birth control pills also lower the amount of testosterone in a woman’s body. The symptoms of low testosterone in women include low sex drive, depression, anxiety, lower motivation, tiredness and unwanted weight gain.

Eating healthy, getting proper sleep, exercising regularly and taking regular dosage of vitamins may improve your testosterone levels naturally but sometimes the results are not visible. If you tried everything and your testosterone levels are still low, you may opt for pellet therapy. Pellets are implanted as a part of combination hormone replacement therapy in women and show effective results. Research studies show that women undergoing testosterone pellet therapy were able to find success in reducing fatigue, depression, and increasing sex drive and better mood. Some women also find this treatment brings stronger bones, more muscle mass and better overall health.

Testosterone Pellet Therapy For Men

Testosterone is a hormone produced by testicles in men and its deficiency increasingly affects the overall health and quality of life. Testosterone can boost libido, muscle mass, memory, energy and well-being. Most men lose testosterone with age. Testosterone pellets may be a good option for those seeking a constant, long- term dose. As per studies, 20 to 40 percent of men have a medical condition called hypogonadism as they age and need testosterone therapy.

Inadequate testosterone production is not the only cause of erectile dysfunction (ED), however, when ED occurs due to decreased testosterone production, pellet therapy is regarded as the best way to solve the problem. Stress, alcoholism, chronic illness, inflammatory diseases, ageing, genetic abnormalities, abdominal obesity, injury or infection may be the cause/causes of low testosterone levels in men. For this, testosterone pellet therapy has a better track record of restoring a man’s sex drive and overcoming erectile dysfunction.
