Hormone therapy is an effective treatment for addressing hormone imbalances due to aging or menopause. In addition to administering replacement hormones through creams or pills, patients have the option of receiving their treatment through pellets containing plant-derived testosterone or estrogen that are embedded in the skin.
Pellet therapy can reduce or eliminate symptoms such as hot flashes, low libido, and cognitive issues. The pellet is inserted through a small incision, and may last between 3 and 6 months. Unlike other forms of therapy, pellet hormones are released directly into the bloodstream at a steady rate. This eliminates side effects such as clotting and prevents hormone levels from fluctuating.
