Bio-identical Pellet Therapy is a natural hormone replacement therapy that uses hormones derived from natural sources to supplement or replace hormones that the body is not producing in sufficient amounts. This therapy has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its effectiveness and safety. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has been used for decades to help men and women alleviate symptoms of hormone imbalance, but traditional HRT has been associated with health risks. Bio-identical Pellet Therapy offers a safer and more natural alternative to traditional HRT.
Hormone Imbalance in Men and Women
Hormone imbalance can occur in both men and women, leading to a range of symptoms that affect the quality of life. For women, hormone imbalance is most commonly associated with menopause, which is the time when a woman’s body stops producing estrogen and progesterone. Symptoms of menopause can include hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness For men, hormone imbalance is most commonly associated with andropause, which is the time when a man’s body starts to produce less testosterone. Symptoms of andropause can include fatigue, decreased sex drive, and mood changes. Hormone imbalance can also be caused by other factors, such as stress, poor nutrition, and certain medical conditions.
Bio-identical Pellet Therapy Procedure
Bio-identical Pellet Therapy involves a simple and relatively painless procedure. The first step is a consultation with a healthcare provider who specializes in hormone therapy. During the consultation, the provider will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and goals for treatment. They may also order hormone testing to determine your hormone levels.
Once the provider has determined that you are a good candidate for Bio-identical Pellet Therapy, they will insert small pellets under the skin in the hip area. The pellets are about the size of a grain of rice and are inserted through a small incision. The procedure takes only a few minutes and is performed in the provider’s office.
After the pellets have been inserted, they slowly release hormones into the body over the course of several months. The hormones are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and liver. This results in a more consistent and natural hormone level.
