Pellet Therapy

Bioidentical estrogen therapy can be life-changing, but using it doesn’t have to mean disrupting your life. While some methods still require daily administration, newer treatment options offer convenient, longer-acting alternatives while still delivering effective benefits. In particular, subcutaneous hormone pellets and transdermal patches allow you to set it and forget it—up to a week at a time with the patches, and up to six months at a time with the pellets. But how do you know which is right for you?

When you’re seeking hormone replacement therapy to correct a hormonal imbalance, choosing a therapy format that is both safe and effective is essential—but it can also feel overwhelming. Topical gels, intramuscular injections, transdermal patches, pills, and implanted pellets may all have the potential to resolve your symptoms, but which format will leave you feeling your best with the least amount of hassle?

As men grow older, their testosterone levels progressively become lower and lower. This may leave them feeling tired, irritable, and alarmed by the way their bodies are changing. But aging men aren’t the only ones who can experience hormonal issues; primary hypogonadism, pituitary gland and hypothalamus dysfunction, and even obesity can all have a profound impact on testosterone production and affect men who are young and otherwise healthy.
