We here at Revive Medical Center are excited to talk about a new therapy that we’re offering our patients. Pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), and this method is preferred by many medical professionals because of its effectiveness. What is pellet therapy and will it help you? Let’s talk about this remarkable HRT and its benefits.
Just What its Name Suggests
Bioidentical pellet hormone replacement therapy is just what its name suggests: treatment using bioidentical hormone pellets. This might sound frightening, but it isn’t as invasive or painful as you might think. In addition, pellets are one of the most effective HRTs available, so the success rate of this treatment is very high. Many people undergoing pellet BHRT are healthier and happier.
We’ve Gotten Ahead of Ourselves, Though
Let’s take a step back for just a moment, however, and talk about BHRT. As you age, whether you’re a woman or a man, you lose the hormones your body produced naturally when you were younger. This is part of the aging process and is, in part, what causes many of the uncomfortable aging effects, including weight gain, hot flashes in women, and low libido in men. Bioidentical HRT replaces those hormones.
Bioidentical Pellets
For years, physicians have been using BHRT to relieve the uncomfortable symptoms of aging and restore their patients’ vitality. This isn’t the fountain of youth, but if you are severely deficient in, say, estrogen or testosterone, BHRT pellets can release bioidentical versions of the hormone your body once made into your system just as if you were producing the hormone yourself, hence “bioidentical.”
When manufactured by professionals in a quality-controlled compounding pharmaceutical lab, these pellets are safe and effective. The bioidentical version of the hormone in which you are deficient is encased in a pellet with natural binders. The pellets are tested to ensure they do not contain any endotoxins, toxins found in bacterial cells. They are also tested for efficacy and quality.
The BHRT Pellet Treatment Itself
Extensive lab work is performed to determine the hormone(s) in which a patient is deficient. Once the hormone levels in the body are mapped out, we can design a BHRT pellet treatment plan to replenish the missing ones. Bioidentical hormones are safer than traditional HRT, so this option is preferred by many patients. The right BHRT pellet will be inserted quickly into your buttocks and, boom! Done!
