WHAT IS HORMONE PELLET THERAPY?
Bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy serves as a method to replenish hormones that diminish naturally with aging. The decline in estrogen and testosterone associated with aging leads to a hormonal imbalance, impacting various bodily functions and resulting in disruptive symptoms that affect daily life. BHRT is designed to address this imbalance and alleviate the associated symptoms.
This therapy employs naturally derived "bioidentical" hormones sourced from plants. The advantage lies in the body's efficient utilization of bioidentical hormones compared to synthetic ones, as they closely mirror the molecular structure of our natural hormones.
The term "pellet" therapy refers to the delivery mechanism of hormones. Pellets, inserted under the skin, facilitate a consistent absorption of hormones, ensuring a steady maintenance of levels as needed. Unlike typical oral and transdermal hormone delivery methods, which often lead to fluctuations in energy levels and mood, pellet therapy avoids these issues by providing a sustained release that aligns with the body's requirements.
