What are hormone pellets?

​

Hormone pellets are the size of a grain of rice and are gently inserted under the skin, usually in the buttock area in the office. Pellets consistently deliver a steady dose of hormones for 3-6 months and is convenient for the patient since they don't have to remember to use them.

​

What are the benefits to using hormone pellets?

​

Results such as improvement in energy, libido, hot flashes, night sweats, weight loss, moods, vaginal dryness, bone health and many others are quickly seen and have lasting results. Before starting hormone therapy, we have an in-depth consultation with you to discuss whether this treatment is right for you.

​

What is required before starting hormone therapy?

​

We perform a detailed assessment of the patient's medical history, complete a physical exam and order blood or saliva testing.

How long do I stay on hormone therapy?

​

That depends on your medical history and medical needs. Each therapy is tailored to the individual patient.
