  • Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a type of hormone therapy that uses hormones chemically identical to those the human body naturally produces. It's commonly used to treat symptoms of hormonal imbalance, particularly in women during perimenopause or menopause, and sometimes in men with low testosterone (andropause).

    5. Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement where tiny pellets (usually containing estradiol, testosterone, or both) are implanted under the skin—typically in the hip or buttock—every 3–6 months. This method offers some distinct advantages over other delivery methods (like creams, gels, pills, or injections), but it’s not right for everyone.

    1. Steady Hormone Levels

    • Pellets deliver a consistent, time-released dose of hormones.

    • Avoids the hormone spikes and crashes common with pills, creams, or injections.

    2. Convenience

    • Requires only 2–4 office visits per year.

    • No daily application or weekly injections.

    3. Improved Symptom Relief

    • Many patients report more stable relief from symptoms like hot flashes, low libido, mood swings, fatigue, and brain fog.

    • Often preferred by those who had inconsistent results with other methods.

    4. No Transdermal Issues

    • Bypasses issues like skin irritation from creams or gels.

    • No risk of hormone transfer to others via skin contact.

    5. Bypasses the Liver

    • Like creams or injections, pellets avoid first-pass metabolism in the liver, reducing the risk of liver strain seen with oral hormones.
