Benefits of Estrogen Pellets

• Steady hormone release, avoiding the peaks and troughs of other hormone replacement methods.

What to Expect

1. Consultation: Before anything else, you’ll have a detailed consultation with our medical expert. This is where we discuss your symptoms, medical history, and the potential benefits and risks of TRT.
2. Blood Tests: To determine your current testosterone levels and ensure you’re a suitable candidate for TRT, we’ll conduct comprehensive blood tests. This helps us customize the dosage specifically for you.
3. Pellet Insertion: Once we’ve determined the right dosage, small testosterone pellets are inserted under the skin, typically in the upper buttocks or hip area. This minor procedure is done under local anesthesia and takes only a few minutes.
4. Minimal Downtime: The insertion site might be a bit sore for a day or two, but you can resume most of your regular activities immediately. We do recommend avoiding vigorous physical activity for a few days to allow the insertion site to heal.
5. Steady Release: One of the advantages of the pelleting method is the consistent release of testosterone. Over the next 3-6 months, the pellets will gradually dissolve, releasing a steady dose of testosterone into your bloodstream.
6. Follow-up and Monitoring: Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your testosterone levels and ensure you’re getting the most from your treatment. This is also an opportunity to discuss any concerns or adjustments needed.
7. Re-insertion: As the pellets dissolve and testosterone levels decrease, you’ll need a new set of pellets. The frequency of re-insertion varies but typically ranges from 3-6 months, depending on individual needs.
