Here's a step-by-step look at how BHRT therapy works:
Consultation: A detailed consultation where the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and health goals are discussed.
Lab Tests: Labs will be collected and reviewed to identify any hormonal deficiencies.
Customized Treatment Plan: Based on symptoms and lab test results, pellets are tailored to the patient’s specific hormone levels.
Pellet Delivery: After the area is numb, a tiny incision will serve as the entry point for the hormone pellets (size of a grain of rice) in either the hip or buttocks. This minimally invasive procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish. Once implanted, the pellets begin to slowly release hormones that are absorbed by the body over the next 3-6 months.
Follow-Up: After the procedure, follow-up appointments will monitor hormone levels and assess how well the treatment is working. Blood panels are typically re-drawn and reviewed to ensure hormone levels are within the desired range. Any adjustments to treatment will be made from there.
