Wisconsin Pellet Therapy

When most men and women reach their 40s signs of the natural aging process may begin to appear. Unexplained weight gain, hair loss, low libido, inability to concentrate, and mild depression are some of the classic symptoms of hormone imbalance. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is an effective solution to restoring hormonal balance and reaching your maximum health potential. BHRT is available in a variety of delivery methods, such as pills, patches, creams gels, and injections, however, one method of delivery is a rising star in the industry: pellet therapy.

Hormone pellets are proving to be ranked by patients and physicians as the most efficient, painless, and proven delivery method for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, offering vast benefits for both men and women.

What is Pellet Therapy?

Pellet therapy is a safe and effective BHRT delivery system that can be painlessly administered during a short in-office visit. Pellets are derived from natural sources, such as soy or yam, and custom-compounded to meet each patient’s specific needs. Pellets are about the size of a grain of rice and are carefully inserted through a small incision into the upper-hip area. Once in place, the pellet is slowly metabolized by the body over the course of 3 to 5 months, releasing a steady dose of hormone in much the same manner as the body would under normal function.

Benefits of Pellet Therapy

The greatest benefit of pellet therapy is the convenience it offers patients. Unlike pills, creams, and injections, there are no daily dosing hassles or risk of side effects from taking too much, too little, or missing a dose. Pellet are inserted during routine office visits every 3 to 5 months, depending on how quickly the body metabolizes the pellet and because the dose is naturally delivered and carefully compounded for each patient’s needs, patients don’t have to worry about spikes and crashes at the beginning of end of each treatment cycle.

Patients report experiencing vast improvements in symptom relief, quality of life factors and overall health with treatment plans that include pellet therapy, including:

It’s highly likely that most women are not aware of the benefits that testosterone can offer. For example testosterone helps with a number of issues, including reduced sex drive, mood swings, brain function, and bone density. Testosterone pellet therapy can be especially beneficial for women who are experiencing symptoms associated with menopause.

Testosterone pellet therapy can offer numerous benefits to women, including:

• Greater emotional stability*
• Improved bone density*

Women may, also, need estrogen pellet therapy. As a women ages and goes through menopause the amount of estrogen produced naturally reduces. Estrogen plays a role in maintaining balanced cholesterol in the blood, how the body uses calcium and overall vaginal health. If you have low estrogen levels you may experience:

• Hot flashes*
• Osteoporosis*
• Depression*
• Mood swings*
• Hot flashes*

Every individual needs something different and bioidentical therapy is no exception. Dr. Raskin will determine if estrogen or testosterone pellet therapy is right for you after your hormone levels are tested.

Pellet Therapy for Men

A natural part of aging includes a reduction in the production of testosterone. Men with reduced testosterone, or low T, may experience fatigue, low libido, decreased muscle strength and endurance, and an overall decline in wellbeing. Testosterone replacement therapy is an excellent solution to help put an end to these issues.

Testosterone pellets are made of bioidentical testosterone and a natural binder. As the pellets dissolve, testosterone is steadily absorbed into the system imitating the body’s natural release of hormones. Testosterone pellet therapy offers men numerous benefits associated with low T, such as:

• Enhanced sexual performance*
• Improved drive and stamina*
• Improved energy levels*
• Improved lean body mass*
• Improved mood stability*
• Increased focus and concentration*
• Increased sexual desire*
• Lower risk of certain diseases related to low testosterone*
