Hormone Pellets For Your Old Age

By Jake Alexandre


As we grow older, the level of hormones in our body starts declining. This decline is known as hormone imbalance. Certain unpleasant effects are associated with it. These include mood swings, depression, and loss of hair, decline in bone mass, body aches, fatigue, stress, sleep disorder and many other problems. This decline in hormones also affects the energy level, so in order to overcome these unpleasant effects; certain hormone therapies are being administered. Among these therapies, bio-identical hormone pellets therapy is one of them. In this therapy, hormone pellets made from estradiol or testosterones are given to the patient. For women who are facing unpleasant effects of menopause, they can undergo this hormone pellet therapy. This treatment will restore the quality of life and improve body functions.

Women generally have a hard time dealing with menopause. In fact a large number of them don't even know that their bodies are going through this phase. It's only after they visit a doctor or hear about the side effects of menopause, that they realize they are experiencing similar problems. During and after menopause, the female body stops producing estrogen and progesterone. These are two vital hormones that are produced by the ovaries in female bodies. When their production stops women feel listless, tired, experience hot flashes, headaches, fatigue and a variety of other physical problems.

Now there are many ways of undergoing hormone replacement therapy. You get gels, patches, pills, creams and injections. However a large number of women prefer to go through hormone pellets therapy. Hormone pellets are synthesized from soybean and yam. A local anesthesia is given and a tiny incision made, and the hormone pellet is placed under the skin and the incision is closed. The patient may feel some discomfort for a few days from the incision after which it heals. The effect of hormone pellets starts taking effect after a few hours or weeks depending on the hormone deficiency in the patient, and it will maintain the required hormone balance in the body for 3 to 4 months.

Hormone pellet therapy is very easy and a convenient treatment for those males as well, whose level of hormones has declined. Pellet therapy can quickly reduce the unpleasant effects of low level of hormones in just 2-3 weeks. Hormone pellet therapy will increase your mental focus. After undergoing hormone pellets treatment, the unbalance in hormones level will end. The anti-aging benefits of the treatment will also help in improving your health.

Hormone pellets therapy is not limited to women only, men who suffer from lack of testosterone hormones can also opt for hormone pellets therapy. The procedure of administering the pellets is the same, however the hormones are different. In certain cases testosterone hormones are also given to women. The risks that are generally associated with hormone replacement therapy are reduced by hormone pellets therapy. Risk of cancers, blood clots, stroke and heart diseases are reduced. Patients who have undergone hormone pellets therapy have very seldom reported the side effects that are generally associated with hormone replacement therapy.

However, hormone pellet therapy will increase risks of uterine cancer. So it is advised that those women who have not had the uterus removed should not undergo this therapy. Similarly, those having history of breast cancer should avoid hormone pellet therapy. Women having clotting disorder history should also avoid this treatment. Normal gynecological examination and mammogram should be conducted before starting hormone pellet therapy. Before opting for hormone pellet therapy you must consult a doctor, and only go for it if the doctor recommends it. Don't ever try to go for hormone pellets or any other form of hormone therapy without medical consent. Hormone replacement without proper consultation and advice can be risky, and result in serious side effects.
