Hormones exist in harmony with each other. When levels of each hormone are in the right proportions, body systems are stable. When a balance is lost, hormone deficiencies and excesses can become problematic to the body, causing chronic symptoms and disorders and raising risks for disease.
Hormone replacement therapy is now a widely available antiaging treatment that’s growing in popularity among those who feel run-down, recently have become prone to weight gain, and when it comes to managing symptoms of menopause in women. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is to balance hormones that can treat symptoms like fatigue, bloating, lower sex drive and thinning of hair.
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may help relieve the symptoms of hormonal imbalance by raising hormones to their optimal levels. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can come in oral, topical, and pellet forms. BHRT using pellets offers a consistent administration and may help address rollercoaster-like effects. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses bioidentical hormones, meaning they have the same chemical structure as the hormones produced by the body.
What Is Hormone Imbalance?
As we age, the production of hormones may be affected. Too much or too little of a hormone can have effects on the body, ranging from moderate to severe. Bioidentical hormone pellets are used to treat hormonal imbalances in both men and women. In women, they can be used to address symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats, as well as to improve sexual function and bone density. In men, they can be used to treat low testosterone levels, which can lead to decreased muscle mass, decreased energy, and decreased libido.
How Does Pellet Therapy Work?
During pellet therapy, rice size pellets are inserted subcutaneously into the body in a quick, simple, in-office procedure. These pellets will gradually be absorbed over several months, dispersing hormones throughout the body. Unlike oral hormone replacement therapy, which is metabolized by the liver and can cause fluctuations in hormone levels, hormone pellets provide a steady, consistent supply of hormones, which can help to reduce symptoms and improve overall well-being.
What Is Pellet Therapy?
Biote developed a Method that offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in the form of subcutaneous pellets. Biote provides training on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for medical providers across the US, so they can help their patients feel their best at any age.
What are the Side Effects of BHRT?
It’s important to note that while bioidentical hormone pellets are made from natural plant-based ingredients, they are still a form of hormone replacement therapy, and they carry some risks and side effects. Before starting hormone pellet therapy, it’s important to have a thorough consultation with a healthcare provider to discuss the risks and benefits and to determine if this treatment option is right for you.
