Bioidentical Hormone Implants
A hormone pellet implant is a minor procedure performed under local anesthesia. {Name} makes a small incision after first injecting lidocaine into the skin. A customized-to-you bioidentical hormone pellet, about half the size of a pea, is then inserted under the skin. It takes about 5 to 7 days for the incision to heal. Patients can go back to their regular activities immediately following the procedure, but should avoid exercises that may agitate the incision for at least 48 hours following the implant.
Dosing Adjustment
Doses of bioidentical hormones are dependent upon your presenting symptoms and hormone test results. Saliva hormone testing is best since blood hormone levels may fluctuate throughout the day and month. Initially, {Name} may supplement your hormone pellet therapy until the correct hormone dosage can be achieved.
