Hormone Pellet Therapy

Meaning

Hormone pellet therapy is a method of bioidentical hormone replacement where small, custom-compounded pellets, typically composed of hormones like estradiol or testosterone, are subcutaneously inserted into the fatty tissue, often in the hip or buttock area. This delivery system is designed to provide a steady, continuous release of the hormone directly into the bloodstream over a period of several months, circumventing the daily application or injection required by other methods. Clinicians often favor this approach for its ability to maintain stable serum hormone concentrations, avoiding the peaks and troughs associated with oral or transdermal preparations. The goal is to restore physiological hormone levels for improved vitality and symptom management.
