If you’re struggling through the hormonal fluctuations of menopause and the irritating side effects, pellet therapy may be a great option for you. If you’re new to the idea, you might wonder what is pellet therapy? Here are some facts you need to know!

Let’s Get Right to It! What Is Pellet Therapy?

It’s a hormone delivery method in the form of a pellet that is considered quite effective. It’s been around for about 80 years! The pellet, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under your skin through a small incision made on your upper buttock during an in-office visit.

Pellet therapy is made of bio-identical hormones that mimic your own natural hormone molecular structure.  It can balance hormones in both men and women. Additionally, it’s a popular menopause treatment.

How Does It Work?

Once inserted, the pellet begins slowly metabolizing to deliver a natural dose of hormone. Hormones are released at a slow and steady rate, without fluctuations.

How Long Does This Last?

On average, the pellet lasts three to five months, but this varies from person to person. How long yours lasts depends on how quickly you metabolize the hormones and other factors. 

What Are the Benefits of Pellet Therapy?

It can increase sex drive, improve bone density, and increase energy levels. Additionally, many women experience improved mental function and motivation. It’s great for improving menopause symptoms. To put it succinctly, it’s an overall improvement in your quality of life!
