The female body is always hard at work. It may not always be obvious, but your brain is constantly sending and receiving chemical signals, fighting off disease, and producing hormones so you can function at peak efficiency.
But even when you aren’t aware of when your body is behaving like it should, you’ll almost certainly notice when something goes awry.
If you develop a hormone imbalance, you may experience a number of debilitating symptoms that leave you feeling not like yourself. To get back on the right track, contact our team at Mid-Florida Age Management about our treatment methods for HRT for women in Ocala, including pellets.
The Benefits of Pellets
Our preferred treatment method for HRT is hormone pellets. Hormone pellets are the most effective and convenient method for delivering a steady stream of much-needed hormones to the body.
These hormones are bioidentical, meaning they are composed of hormones that are identical to the ones your body naturally produces. This minimizes the chance your body rejecting the hormone treatment.
After we insert the bioidentical hormone pellets beneath the skin, they slowly release the hormones you need into the bloodstream, allowing your body to function as normal.
What BHRT Treats
Because the body uses hormones in so many of its daily functions, a hormone deficiency can contribute to various wellness conditions. Some of these symptoms are physical, but others may influence your mood.
Hormone deficiencies lead to such varied symptoms it’s difficult to predict if you have one without sitting down with a medical professional. That said, you may want to schedule a hormone screening if you’re dealing with symptoms like:
- Difficulty sleeping
- Brain fog
- Sudden weight gain
- Sudden weight loss
- Depression
- Dry skin
- Digestion issues
To reduce or eliminate these symptoms, talk to our expert team about BHRT.
Hormone Treatment for Women
While we may recommend BHRT for men as well, women’s hormones tend to be much more complex than men’s. The female body goes through fluctuations in its hormone levels during its period cycle, perimenopause, and menopause.
HRT for women in Ocala may provide relief from additional symptoms unique to female patients. Women may consider BHRT if they’re facing:
- Hot flashes
- Joint pain
- Vaginal dryness
- Night sweats
The women of Ocala shouldn’t have to worry about these troublesome wellness concerns. Experience relief by sitting down with us for an in-person consultation.
Meeting With the Experts
Before you receive your pellet treatment, you need to meet with our team members for an in-person consultation. The consultation is the best way to ensure you receive the right treatment for your needs.
When you come in for a BHRT consultation, we ask you about your symptoms, discuss what you’re hoping to get out of your treatment, and run tests to determine your current hormone levels. We want to ensure we understand you on a deeper level, so we can better build a plan that accomplishes your wellness goals.
Inserting the Pellets
At the end of your consultation, our experts develop a plan for your hormone replacement therapy and schedule your initial session.
During this session, we bring you back to one of our treatment rooms and have you lie down on a treatment table. Then, we numb the treatment area so you’re comfortable when the small incision is made.
To ensure the pellet can provide you with the necessary hormones, we must insert the pellets beneath the skin, usually in the hip. Because the pellet is so small (about the size of a grain of rice), you should not notice the incision site after the treatment is complete.
Experiencing Real Results
After the treatment is complete, you may notice some acne, bloating, or swelling, but those should abate in time.
Some women notice their results in a few days, and others need to wait a few weeks, though the specific results timeline changes based on the patient’s body, condition, and goals. On average, women can experience the benefits of their BHRT treatment for anywhere from 3 to 4 months, but the process doesn’t need to end there.
If you’re interested in maintaining your results indefinitely, talk to your provider about scheduling a maintenance treatment. We can replace the dissolved BHRT pellet so you can continue to receive your much-needed hormones.
