Frequently Asked Questions About Hormone Pellet Therapy for Women
FAQ
Is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) safe for women?
Yes, Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) is safe when properly monitored by qualified medical specialists like our team. Bioidentical hormones match the molecular structure of the hormones your body naturally produces, making them both effective and well-tolerated. We conduct comprehensive testing before treatment and monitor your levels throughout therapy to ensure optimal results with minimal risk.
Will hormone therapy help with menopausal weight gain?
Many women experience improved body composition and easier weight management with hormone pellet therapy. Balanced hormones help optimize metabolism, preserve muscle mass, and reduce the stubborn abdominal fat gain common during perimenopause and menopause. While hormone therapy isn't a weight loss treatment by itself, it creates the metabolic environment that makes healthy weight management more achievable for women.
Can hormone therapy help with mood swings and anxiety?
Yes, one of the most significant benefits women report from hormone therapy is mood stabilization. Fluctuating hormones are a primary cause of mood swings, anxiety, and irritability. The consistent hormone levels provided by hormone therapy help maintain emotional balance and reduce anxiety. Many women report feeling "like themselves again" emotionally within 2-3 weeks of beginning treatment.
Do women need testosterone replacement too?
Yes, testosterone is essential for women's health, though in smaller amounts than men require. In women, testosterone contributes to energy, mental clarity, muscle tone, bone density, and sexual function. Many women experiencing hormone-related symptoms benefit from optimized testosterone levels alongside estrogen balance. Our comprehensive testing will determine your specific feminine testosterone needs.
If I opt for pellet treatment, how often will I need hormone pellet insertions?
Most women require pellet insertions every 3-4 months, though this can vary based on individual metabolism and hormone requirements. Your provider will determine the optimal schedule based on your test results and symptom improvements.
Will insurance cover my hormone therapy?
We are in-network with most insurance plans and will work with you to maximize your benefits. Many insurance companies cover the diagnostic testing and follow-up visits. The pellet therapy itself may be covered depending on your specific plan. We also offer competitive self-pay options and package pricing for women without coverage.
