What Is Hormone Pellet Therapy?
Hormone pellet therapy is a unique approach to hormone replacement that uses tiny, rice-sized pellets to deliver hormones straight into your bloodstream. The hormones used in pellet therapy are bioidentical: Molecular copies of your body’s natural hormones. Bioidentical hormones come from natural sources, like soybeans and yams. Your body accepts these duplicate hormones just like its own.
For pellet therapy, your doctor at Woodlands OBGYN Associates inserts the pellets just under your skin during a quick outpatient procedure. The hormones are released steadily into your bloodstream over time, keeping your hormone levels stable and preventing frustrating symptoms of hormone depletion. At Woodlands OBGYN Associates, we offer both estrogen and testosterone pellet therapy. Many women need both, as each has its beneficial properties.
The Effects of Hormone Pellet Therapy
Hormone pellets go to work almost immediately. Most women notice some symptom relief within the first three days. Symptoms continue to improve as the hormones move through your body, with peak benefits occurring around three weeks after insertion. Women usually experience:
- Less hot flashes
- Better sleep
- Improved energy
- Better mental clarity
- Improved libido
Many women also experience positive changes in their hair, skin, and nails when they start pellet therapy. It’s also important to know that estrogen can help protect against bone loss, heart disease, and other problems common during menopause.
How Often Do You Need Hormone Pellet Therapy?
One of the big advantages of hormone pellet therapy is its long-lasting nature. Because the pellets release over a long period, one insertion can give you three to six months of symptom relief. It’s a set-it-and-forget-it option for frustrating symptoms of low hormones. Unlike pills, patches, and other delivery methods, pellets give consistency, avoid surges, and don’t require constant dosing.
