Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help both women and men, but let’s talk about the benefits of pellet therapy for women in this post. This is a new treatment we’re offering here at Revive Medical Center, and we’ve already found success with this hormone replacement therapy. What are the benefits you can expect from BHRT pellet therapy? Here’s a list of them for you to consider.
Conditions Caused by Low Hormone Levels
Women naturally produce estrogen and progesterone (among other hormones) in their younger years. These hormones help a young woman develop and aid in menstruation and pregnancy. As a woman ages, estrogen and progesterone production stops, and she goes into perimenopause as the hormone production slows down and menopause when the levels are so slow she can no longer menstruate.
There are many uncomfortable and serious side effects of menopause. Although some women have an easy transition, many women describe the period as one of the worst times of their lives. Even though menopause is a natural part of the aging process, many women end up with
- Anxiety
- Bone density loss (osteoporosis)
- Depression
- Heart problems
- Hot flashes
- Insomnia
- Little to no libido
- Night sweats
- Rage
- Uncontrollable weepiness
- Vaginal dryness
These symptoms are not only uncomfortable but also disruptive. Some women end up in tears in our office because they want a good night’s sleep, and no matter what they try, they can’t get it. Even if you aren’t in menopause, BHRT pellet therapy can help if you suffer from severe PMS.
The Benefit Is Simple
Because low hormone levels cause the conditions listed above, the benefit of BHRT pellet therapy is simple: It replaces the low hormones and alleviates the symptoms of PMS, perimenopause, and menopause. This hormone replacement therapy is also safe, as opposed to medicinal HRT. The bioidentical hormones are plant-based and mimic those produced by your body.
In and Out in 15 Minutes
Finally, BHRT pellet therapy is an out-patient procedure that takes about 15 minutes. This benefit means you’ll be in and out of our office and back to your day in no time. A hormone pellet is inserted in your buttock, and a bandage covers the insertion site. Within two weeks, you’ll begin to feel relief from your hormone imbalance symptoms. Expect to get back to normal within six months.
