Hormone Pellets Therapy In Houston, TX — A Convenient Way To Feel Like Yourself Again — Provides A Constant Stream Of Hormones And Requires No Creams, Injections, Or Oral Pills.
However, we don’t have to ride out the waves when we can tackle them head-on using hormone pellets therapy in Houston, TX.
There are other options besides pellets, but these have some drawbacks. That may lead you to wonder if pellets have any. You may also question if they’re a revolutionary way to alter hormone levels that’ll be around for some time or just another passing health trend.
We have some insight!
Hormone pellets are life-changing and a game changer for those looking for a long-lasting, balanced way to boost hormone levels.
How They Work
Hormone therapy began over a century ago, but a lot has changed through the years, including the induction of bioidentical hormone therapy, which can be given as hormone pellets.
Similar to other methods, the general concept remains the same — the client’s hormone levels are low, and by introducing a synthetic version into a person’s system, they can be replenished. The symptoms the person is experiencing will then stop.
With this route of administration, there are no regular injections, messy creams, pills, or patches to remember to use regularly.
Instead, Dr. Shel will insert a pellet consisting of the necessary hormone dosage and combination, if you need more than one, to balance your hormones and make you feel like a natural woman or man once again. (Like our play on song lyrics there?)
Once in, it releases a consistent amount of the hormone(s) into the bloodstream to reestablish your levels.
The results, however, aren’t instantaneous. You usually notice you’re feeling better with fewer symptoms in a few days to about a week. Most people, however, don’t report feeling totally back on track until about two to four weeks after insertion.
How They’re Administered
Fully understanding the benefits of hormone pellets therapy in Houston, TX, requires you to know how they’re given.
You’ll then see how far we’ve come along in science and may find you appreciate the low maintenance and the fact you sit back, let the doctor do the work, and then return home to reap the rewards.
So, you know, the insertion process involves Dr. Shel making a tiny incision, either in the buttock or hip, and then using a specialized tool to insert the pellet. Don’t worry: Dr. Shel will apply a numbing agent beforehand so that you won’t feel a thing.
In the end, you usually don’t even need any stitches to close the site. However, sometimes, our physician will close it using a single, small stitch. Most often, though, it doesn’t need anything or will only require a little adhesive bandage.
You won’t need to worry about it for three to six months. We’ll let you know when to return, but we always encourage patients to contact us if they feel the hormones are wearing off earlier.
All the Perks of This Method
You’ve got a little glimpse at the benefits, but when you truly compare pellets to traditional methods, pellets just bring more to the table, to put it lightly.
-
No Mess and No Risk to Others
First one, you’re not rubbing on a cream, gel, or lotion, which can all be a pain.
We should note that those hormones are topical and will transfer through anyone’s skin, so you have to be extra careful that nobody is touching your laundry or anything else that came in contact with the hormones.
You play no role in the administration process of pellets, and since the hormones are contained under your skin and in a capsule, there’s no risk to anyone else, even if they should touch the area.
-
Steady Release of Hormones
Secondly, the release is continuous, unlike pills or topicals that cause a spike followed by a drop or topicals that aren’t always being released at the same dose.
Because the hormones from pellets are balanced, you receive continuous control of your symptoms.
-
Less Frequent Treatments
While it’s third on the list, it certainly isn’t third in terms of the benefits; the frequency of retreatments is much less than that of other methods, which may need to be applied as frequently as every day or a few days, depending on the treatment.
-
Highly Customizable
We can’t forget to note that pellets are highly customizable in terms of the hormones given and their dosages, much more so than other methods. (But patches are a close second.)
That said, however, once they’re in, there isn’t much that can be done to change the dosage besides removing it and inserting another with a different dosage, if desired.
-
No GI Side Effects
While all those benefits make pellets sound appealing, the reduction in side effects, especially of the GI tract, is one you can’t overlook.
Oral medications require the hormones to pass through your digestive tract or liver before being dispersed throughout your body via the bloodstream. That’s why that route can have the side effects of nausea and indigestion.
With pellets, the hormone(s) bypass the GI tract and make a beeline for the blood vessels, so these unwanted side effects aren’t a problem.
