Let’s talk about the “m-word”. Menopause. Chances are, you probably just groaned to yourself at the thought of it.
After all, it’s usually accompanied by quite a few undesirable symptoms. Insomnia, weight gain, hot flashes, anxiety, and low libido, just to name a few.
While menopause can certainly be difficult to navigate, here’s the good news:
Women today have better options for menopause treatment than women 20, 10, or even 5 years ago.
There are even free online Hormone Health Tests to help you determine if the symptoms you’re experiencing are due to hormone deficiency.
In fact, the changes in your hormones leading up to and during menopause are often the culprit for symptoms like vaginal dryness, mood changes, night sweats, hot flashes, and difficulty concentrating.
By now you’re probably wondering: What can be done? Will I always feel this way? Or can it get better?
We’re glad you asked! We want to let you in on the next big thing in menopause treatment. It’s natural, effective, and has the power to change your life.
We’re talking about Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Pellet Therapy.
Never heard of it? We’ve got you covered!
What is Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Pellet Therapy?
Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Pellet therapy is a time-tested, revolutionary method to fully treat hormone deficiency.
It is a quick, simple, and painless in-office treatment. Utilizing local anesthetic, tiny hormone pellets are inserted under the skin, typically in the upper hip.
The hormones are absorbed over the next three to four months. You will feel the results fast! In fact, you will start feeling better in a matter of days.
What are the Effects of Pellet Therapy?
Estrogen pellets help maintain your body’s ideal balance of estradiol. This regulates your mood and restores sleep patterns. It can also relieve menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats.
Estrogen pellets can also help with migraines, menstrual headaches, incontinence, vaginal dryness, and urinary urgency.
Testosterone pellets are used in both men and women, to strengthen muscles and bone density and decrease fat mass. Testosterone is also known to improve sexual drive for both men and women.
The overall effect of hormone pellet therapy is a dramatically improved quality of life, including the following:
- Relief from depression and anxiety
- Increased energy levels
- Possible fat loss
- Improved sleep quality
- Restored or increased sex drive
- Greater focus and mental clarity
- Relief from hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia
Why is it the Best Menopause Treatment Method?
Other types of menopause treatments include pills, patches, and creams. In addition to being inconvenient, these methods can result in significant fluctuation of hormone levels on a day to day basis. Despite being comprised of high doses of hormones, these methods typically result in only slight reduction of a symptom or two and do not treat all of the symptoms of hormone deficiency effectively.
On the other hand, hormone pellet therapy allows for consistent, healthy levels of hormones, as the hormones are steadily absorbed into the body for the entire 3 – 4 months. Because of the superior method of delivery, hormone pellet therapy uses much lower doses of hormones to achieve incomparable results. Pellet therapy effectively treats all of the symptoms of hormone deficiency.
Unlike some other forms of hormone treatment, hormone pellet therapy is all natural. Derived from soybeans, the hormones used in the pellets are identical to those produced by our bodies.
Thanks to the fact that pellets treat all of the symptoms using very low doses, hormone pellet therapy reduces the risks of many age related diseases. Other methods do not improve overall health in the ways that pellet therapy does.
Also, one of the greatest benefits of hormone pellet therapy is the fact that it’s highly customizable to treat your individual symptoms and deficiency.
At your consultation, your expert medical professional will perform comprehensive hormone blood work to accurately check your levels. If you choose to have pellet therapy, your first treatment can be provided immediately or can be scheduled for your convenience. After your first treatment, your blood work will be completed again in one month in order to ensure your hormone levels are optimal.
You are encouraged to share any concerns and ask all of your questions at your consultation or any time during treatment. You are free to choose our treatment or not; no commitment is required.
How Quickly Will I Start to Feel Better?
Most people begin to feel positive effects as soon as 24 – 48 hours after the procedure. For other patients, it may take one to two weeks. While hormone balance plays a key role in menopause treatment, proper diet, regular exercise, and stress management are also important. Our menopause experts can help with all of your needs, including weight loss and diet.
How Do I Know if Hormone Pellet Therapy is Right For Me?
Hormone pellet therapy is the superior menopause treatment, but it can also be the solution for hormonally deficient women before and after menopause. The truth is that women can start feeling the effects of hormone deficiency long before menopause and untreated hormone deficiency after menopause will continue to have negative effects.
