Pellet Hormone Therapy

The field of hormone replacement has evolved a great deal in recent years, with new choices for type and dosage emerging. Patients of Dr. Andronico may find that their hormonal imbalance would best be managed with pellet hormone therapy. Compared to the daily use of creams or ingestion of pills or even patches, pellets seem to offer a host of benefits.
The various advantages and positive results that come from pellet hormone therapy stem from the consistency in blood levels achieved with this dosage form. Evaluating your specific laboratory results, Dr. Andronico determines the amount of testosterone and estradiol (a form of estrogen) that are needed. Tiny pellets of the necessary hormones, about the size of a grain of rice, and are produced from safe plant source hormones which are bio-identical and from Brazilian yams and/or soy. They are then inserted into the fat beneath the skin in the hip area. The insertion of pellets takes only a few minutes. We begin by cleansing and numbing the implant site. Using a specialized instrument, a tiny incision is made and pellets are inserted. No sutures are needed to close the incision due to its small size. After applying adhesive strips, we cover the implant site with a small bandage.
The beauty of pellet hormone therapy is that the body draws hormones from pellets as needed; minimizing the risk of side effects such as mood swings. As testosterone and estradiol are gradually absorbed by the body, blood levels rise to amounts that are more reliable.

Why pellets?

Pellets are not only convenient and reliable, they are also most effective at mimicking natural physiologic levels of estrone and estradiol, two types of estrogen produced in the ovaries. The addition of testosterone may seem unnecessary, but women need this hormone as well in order to feel their best. The key is identifying and achieving the balance between male and female hormones, and maintaining them with proper follow up.
A few months after the insertion of pellets, we will perform additional lab work to ascertain blood levels of hormones. Evaluation of these levels will guide us in tailoring future dosing and the timing of your next pellets.
