BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
How can I prepare for this treatment?
We advise all patients to discontinue taking any NSAID’s such as aspirin or ibuprofen around one week before your appointment, if possible.
Are any tests required prior to my treatment?
Yes, our team will examine a sample of blood in order to ensure bio-identical hormone replacement therapy may be right for you.
What can I expect during my appointment?
Patients will be brought into an examination room where the designated insertion area will be numbed. A very small incision is created where the pellet is administered. A small bandage will cover the treatment site for optimal protection.
What happens to the bio-identical hormone pellets?
The BioTE hormone pellets are comprised of only the essential hormones that are naturally created within the body. Over time, the pellet will dissolve and will not leave anything behind in its place.
What can I expect during the following week after my appointment?
Our specialists recommend avoiding lower body exercise, excluding walking, as well as hot tubs, bathtubs, and swimming (you will still be able to use the shower). Once the bandage is removed, you may continue your normal activities.
How often should I receive bio-identical hormone replacement therapy?
Since everyone’s body chemistry is distinctive, your treatment plan will be customized to best address the symptoms you are experiencing.
