Hormone Replacement

Testosterone pellets are a form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to treat low testosterone levels in men and women. These small pellets, typically about the size of a grain of rice, are made of bioidentical testosterone. They are designed to release a consistent dose of testosterone over time, providing long-lasting benefits.

Testosterone pellets are typically prescribed after a thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider to ensure they are safe and appropriate for the patient’s specific needs. Regular follow-ups and blood tests are required to monitor hormone levels.

How they work?

Insertion: The pellets are implanted under the skin, usually in the hip or buttocks, through a minor in-office procedure using local anesthesia.
Slow Release: Once inserted, the pellets gradually dissolve, releasing testosterone directly into the bloodstream over 3–6 months.
Steady Levels: This method avoids the fluctuations often seen with other forms of testosterone therapy, such as injections or gels.

Benefits:

Convenience: No daily dosing required.
Consistent Hormone Levels: Helps maintain stable testosterone levels.
Improved Symptoms: Can help increase energy, libido, muscle mass, bone density, and overall mood.

Ideal Candidates:

Men with low testosterone levels (hypogonadism).
Women with hormonal imbalances (sometimes used for symptoms of menopause).

Risk and Side Effects

Infection or bruising at the insertion site.
Possible side effects like acne, mood swings, or changes in red blood cell count.
Over- or under-dosage if not properly monitored.
