Hormonal imbalance is something that will occur in all men and women at some point in their lives as their body’s production of hormones decline with age. Aside from the aging process, there are other causes that can worsen and decelerate the process, such as prescription drugs, birth control, stress, poor diets, and environmental toxins. The affects of hormonal imbalance can have a dramatic effect on a persons quality of life and also make them more susceptible to diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Pellet Therapy is a Form of Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement. Pellets have been uses for the treatment of hormonal imbalance since the 1930’s and have many unique advantages over other methods of hormone administration. Pellets are tiny cylinders about the size of a grain of rice that are inserted in the fatty area of the upper buttock. This is a very quick, simple, and painless in-office procedure. The incision is so small that there are no need for stitches. There is absolutely no downtime and you can return to your daily routine.
