Testosterone pellet therapy is a very safe and effective method of hormone replacement.
A small 3-4mm incision is made in the upper outer buttock area after anesthesia is injected in the general area of pellet insertion. Pellets the size and shape of a small capsule are inserted just into the fat in the upper outer buttock. No sutures are required but butterfly tape will be applied and the patient will then be instructed to abstain from vigorous activity for a brief period of time after insertion.
The major benefit of choosing testosterone replacement therapy for the treatment of menopausal symptoms is the decreased risk of breast cancer associated with this therapy. In addition to effective relief of menopausal symptoms, women can also experience many of the other anti-aging benefits associated with this therapy.
For men, the major benefit to this therapy over other methods (such as the testosterone patch, cream or injection) includes the higher, longer term and consistent delivery of hormones and therefore more consistent relief of symptoms. Men will also experience the anti-aging benefits associated with testosterone therapy.
