HRT PELLET THERAPYIn Knoxville, TN

What Are HRT Pellets?

Hormone replacement therapy has been used for almost a century to provide relief from hormone-related symptoms and improve quality of life. During that time, both the medications and the administration methods used to deliver them have evolved to better meet the needs of patients. For many, hormone pellets are the most exciting method to date.

Pellet therapy administers hormones via small pellets implanted under the skin, typically in your hip, buttock or lower abdominal wall. These pellets are very small –about the size of a grain of rice–and contain custom hormone preparations. They are gradually metabolized by your body over the course of three to six months. How many pellets you need and how often they need to be replaced –depends on your personal symptoms and hormone levels. The number of pellets does not affect the size of the wound. Implantation is performed in your doctor’s office, usually under local anesthesia, and is painless for most of our Knoxville HRT Pellet patients. Significantly, pellets do not have to be removed, as they dissolve in your body.
