What Are Bioidentical Or Pellet Hormones?

The name bioidentical means these hormones are chemically identical to your body’s natural hormones. The difference is that bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources. The common hormones matched are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

How does bioidentical hormone replacement differ from other therapies?

The main difference is the delivery methods used. For women, traditional hormone replacement therapy has involved either low-dose vaginal products or systemic hormone therapy. Low-dose vaginal preparations are available in cream, tablet, or ring form. Systemic estrogen is available in different forms: pill, skin patch, gel, cream, or spray foam.

For men, traditional testosterone replacement is done through injections, skin patches, gels, and mouth patches.

The shortcoming of these delivery methods is consistency in the amount of hormone available to the body. Plus, oral delivery methods involve the digestive system and liver, which can lead to side effects and inconsistent levels of hormone delivery.

With bioidentical hormone pellets, we place the tiny pellet and it instantly gets down to the job of delivering bioidentical hormones for 3-4 months.

What happens during the insertion of the bioidentical pellet?

The insertion of the bioidentical hormone pellets takes only a few minutes in our office. We use a small amount of local anesthetic to numb the insertion site, usually on the upper buttocks. A tiny incision is then made and the pellet is inserted under it.

How long does it take for the bioidentical hormone pellet to work?

Every patient’s system is unique, so there is no “set” timeframe for improvement of your symptoms. Most of our patients report an improvement with various symptoms such as hot flashes in as little as 2-4 weeks. Fully realized results could take up to six months.
