BioTE Pellet Therapy Q&A

As we age, the amount of hormones produced may change as well as reduction to sensitivity of the organs and tissues to their controlling hormones. Some of the common symptoms of hormone imbalance are:

• Fatigue and Lack of energy
• Night Sweats
• Irritability
• Anxiousness
• Hot flashes or flushes
• Difficulty sleeping at night
• Reduced mental focus and memory
• Feeling down, mood swings, on edge
• Weight gain, especially around mid section.
• Struggling to lose and maintain weight even with diet and exercise
• Decreased muscle strength
• Muscle and/or joint discomfort
• Reduced sexual desire and performance

Hormone optimization is essential for prevention of heart diseases, Alzheimer disease, Osteoporosis, breast cancer and Type-2 diabetes, among others.

Unlike the synthetic hormones, Bioidentical hormones work with the body’s chemistry because they closely replicate the molecular structure of the hormones that normally occur within the body.

The best method to introduce bio identical hormone into your body is the Pellet Therapy. It has many advantages over oral and other topical methods. If you take the hormones as pills they first must be digested before getting absorbed by the body.

These tiny pellets – each is about the size of grain of rice – are comprised of custom-compounded bio-identical hormones. Our Pellets are bioidentical and contain hormones like those our body naturally produces. These pellets are easier for the body to completely dissolve and absorb, leaving nothing behind.

Pellet insertion takes place in our office and takes less than 5 minutes for the procedure. These pellets are painlessly placed under the skin of your buttock. Placing the pellets under your skin allows for superior absorption because the hormones go directly into your bloodstream, steadily, 24 hours a day. To numb the area where the pellet will be inserted local anesthesia is used.

After the pellet insertion is done, strenuous exercise, prolonged immersion in water like swimming, bathtub, sauna should be avoided for 3 days. You can take normal showers and all other regular routine is okay. You can resume your normal work and lifestyle otherwise. One can resume normal exercise and swimming routines after the bandage is removed.
