What are Hormone Pellets in Scottsdale?
Hormone pellets are an established type of alternative hormone replacement
therapy (HRY) that has recently gained recognition as a new, “bio-identical
hormone” therapy. These plant-derived, natural ingredients are made of pure
crystalline estradiol 17-B (estrogen) and/or testosterone (androgen) which
contain the identical properties to the natural human hormones. The hormone
pellets are injected under the skin in the abdomen, arm or hip and over time
hormones are released into the body in a consistent manner. The pellets enable
the hormones to be metabolized within the body and regain lost hormones through
absorption. Depending on the person, the pellets remain effective for a period
of 3 to 6 months.
Are Hormone Pellets in Scottsdale Safe?
For decades, hormone pellets have been used in both men and women and the
research has been positive. Once the pellets are implanted
subcutaneously, the pellets release their hormones and
provide a steady, therapeutic hormone level. If you are using hormone pellets
and you still have your uterus in place, you should be cautious. Continuous
exposure to estrogen may increase the risk of uterine cancer. To be safe, these
patients are strongly advised to use progesterone in concert with the hormone
pellets.
