Hormone Pellets in Scottsdale

What are Hormone Pellets in Scottsdale?

Hormone pellets are an established type of alternative hormone replacement therapy (HRY) that has recently gained recognition as a new, "bio-identical hormone" therapy. These plant-derived, natural ingredients are made of pure crystalline estradiol 17-B (estrogen) and/or testosterone (androgen) which contain the identical properties to the natural human hormones. The hormone pellets are injected under the skin in the abdomen, arm or hip and over time hormones are released into the body in a consistent manner. The pellets enable the hormones to be metabolized within the body and regain lost hormones through absorption. Depending on the person, the pellets remain effective for a period of 3 to 6 months.

Are Hormone Pellets in Scottsdale Safe?

For decades, hormone pellets have been used in both men and women and the research has been positive. Once the pellets are implanted subcutaneously, the pellets release their hormones and provide a steady, therapeutic hormone level. If you are using hormone pellets and you still have your uterus in place, you should be cautious. Continuous exposure to estrogen may increase the risk of uterine cancer. To be safe, these patients are strongly advised to use progesterone in concert with the hormone pellets.

What are the benefits to using the alternative HRT hormone pellets in Scottsdale?
