Hormone Replacement Therapy (Women)

Service Description

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with pellets is a form of treatment for women who are experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, particularly during menopause. Hormone pellets are small, cylindrical implants that contain bioidentical hormones, typically estradiol (a form of estrogen) and testosterone. These pellets are inserted under the skin, usually in the buttocks or hip area, through a minor surgical procedure. HRT with pellets aims to restore hormonal balance by providing a steady and consistent release of hormones into the bloodstream over several months. The hormones in the pellets are bioidentical, meaning they are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced in the body. Some common symptoms of hormonal imbalance in women include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. HRT with pellets can help alleviate these symptoms by supplementing the declining levels of hormones in the body. Benefits of HRT with pellets for women may include: 1. Relief of menopausal symptoms: Hormone pellets can effectively reduce hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. 2. Improved bone health: Estrogen is crucial in maintaining bone density. HRT with pellets can help prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. 3. Increased libido: Hormone imbalance can lead to a decrease in sex drive. HRT with pellets may help restore sexual desire and improve sexual function. 4. Enhanced mood and well-being: Hormonal fluctuations during menopause can contribute to mood swings, irritability, and anxiety. Hormone replacement therapy can stabilize hormone levels and improve overall mood and well-being. 5. Potential cardiovascular benefits: Estrogen has been shown to positively impactimprov cardiovascular health, including improving cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of heart disease. However, the cardiovascular benefits of HRT are still a topic of ongoing research and discussion. It is important to note that HRT with pellets, like any form of hormone replacement therapy, is not without potential risks and side effects. Some possible side effects may include breast tenderness, bloating, acne, weight gain, and mood changes. There is also a small risk of complications associated with the surgical procedure to insert the pellets, such as infection or pellet extrusion.
