Hormone therapy uses pellets

Menopause is a natural occurrence in the body, but it can cause hot flashes, night sweats, and even decrease a person’s sexual drive.

Dr. Quint Jardine says bio-identical hormone replacement therapy with pellet implants is effective hormone therapy in woman and men.

A pellet the size of a grain of rice is inserted into the patient’s upper buttocks region. The pellet is made up of either estradiol or testosterone.

The process takes just a few minutes in the office. The patient is put under a local anesthesia, the pellets are inserted and the small incision is closed with a steri-strip.

Dr. Jardine says the pellet releases a small dose of hormones for four to six months. The time release helps to avoid fluctuations of hormone levels seen with other methods of delivery.

Dr. Jardine says the feedback from patients has been overwhelmingly positive. Patients say they’ve gained relief of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. They also say they have an improved sex drive, libido, sexual response and performance.
