What are pellet implants? Hormone pellets are are tiny cylinders that are inserted into a numbed area of subcutaneous fat, typically into the subcutaneous layer the patient’s buttocks for BHRT. The hormone doses are customized just for the patient and fits her/his body and how the body releases hormones.

Pellets can be made using estradiol or testosterone. Dosage is determined by your physician based on your lab results, medical history and reported symptoms.

From puberty until menopause, our hormones predictably fluctuate every month and we sometimes experience those cramps, mood swings, nausea, and all those common side effects of our menstrual cycle. So, what’s the difference with menopause?

Simply put, we’re experiencing a much stronger, dramatic shift of hormones than ever before…that’s what menopause can create symptoms similar to PMS or Pre-Menstrual Syndrome) but much stronger and more intense.

This is primarily due to a much lower production of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. If you’re wondering how hormones can cause such dramatic changes, keep in mind: estrogen plays a role in almost every major part of the body; our heart, skin, hair, bones, breasts and brain are all influenced by estrogen to some degree.

According to the Mayo Clinic, the transition to menopause can bring about the following symptoms:

  • Irregular Periods
  • Vaginal Dryness
  • Hot Flashes
  • Chills
  • Night Sweats
  • Migraine Headache
