Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

Hormonal imbalances can occur at any time, often without you knowing it. These imbalances can result in bizarre symptoms and side effects that may leave you wondering why you are no longer feeling like yourself. Unfortunately, hormonal imbalances can be incorrectly diagnosed and are often masked by medications targeting anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Hormonal imbalances can be caused by factors such as aging, diet, and stress levels, and they occur in females when there is either too much or too little hormones produced by the endocrine system. Pellet therapy involves inserting a small pellet into the body that helps correct this imbalance and allows you to feel like yourself again.

Most patients return to their normal activities immediately. Patients can drive themselves after the procedure. You can resume exercise within seven to 10 days of pellet insertion. It takes about one week for the pellets to activate and for you to notice the effects. Most pellets last three months and will need to be replaced four times a year.

While experiencing the symptoms associated with a hormonal imbalance may be a sign that you have an imbalance, this is not always the cause; many different conditions can cause these symptoms. If you are experiencing multiple symptoms and cannot find another explanation for them, see your doctor right away to determine if your hormone levels may be responsible.
