Disadvantages of Pellet Hormone Therapy:

*Pellet hormone therapy is small pellets containing bioidentical hormones (usually estrogen, testosterone, or both) implanted under the skin. Pellets are marketed as a convenient, “natural,” long-lasting form of hormone replacement.

*Pellets comes with several disadvantages and potential medical and safety disadvantages:

*Difficulty Adjusting the Dose

*Once the pellet is inserted, the dose can’t be adjusted or removed easily.

*If hormone levels become too high or side effects occur, the pellet may not dissolve for several months.

Risk of Hormone Overdose

*Pellets can release hormones at unpredictable rates.

*This can lead to symptoms like acne, hair loss, mood swings, increased aggression (testosterone), or breast tenderness and bloating (estrogen).

*Infection or Implant Site Problems

The insertion procedure carries minor surgical risks such as:

*Infection, Bruising or bleeding

*Pellet extrusion (pellet coming out of the skin)

*Hormone Level Fluctuations

While marketed as providing “steady” levels, hormone release can vary between patients.

*Surges soon after insertion followed by a decline before the next pellet.

*Long-Term or Systemic Risks

*Unknown Long-Term Safety

*Fewer large, well-controlled studies exist for pellet therapy compared to standard hormone replacement (patches, gels, oral forms).

*Long-term effects on cardiovascular health, breast cancer risk, and metabolic function remain less clear.

Supraphysiologic Hormone Levels

*Some compounding pharmacies or clinics use doses that raise hormone levels above normal physiologic ranges, which may increase risk for:

*Heart disease

*Liver strain

*Blood clots (estrogen)

*Prostate growth or cancer (testosterone in men)

Cost:

*Requires repeat minor surgical procedures every 3–6 months.

Limited FDA Oversight

*Most pellets are custom-compounded, not FDA-approved.

*This can lead to variability in purity, potency, and safety between batches or clinics.

Practical & Lifestyle Drawbacks

*Requires a minor surgical procedure for each insertion.

*Cannot easily “pause” therapy if you want to stop.

*Limited number of qualified providers and ongoing lab draws.

*May cause localized scarring or discomfort with repeated use.

7 ESSENTIAL HORMONES

ESTROGEN
Over 50 years of studies show that loss of Estrogen increases Cardiovascular Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, Osteoporotic Fractures, Urogenital Atrophy, Macular Degeneration and Depression. Recent studies outline the confusion created by the WHI (Women’s Health Initiative) over Estrogen.

PROGESTERONE
Synthetic progestins increase the risk of breast cancer, heart disease, strokes, bleeding, and depression. Micronized progesterone/Natural Progesterone does not increase these risks and protects against them. There is a synergistic effect of progesterone with estrogen. Understanding the difference between progesterone and progestins is essential.

TESTOSTERONE
Testosterone is the primary male hormone and women also benefit from supplementation. Levels of testosterone decline with age in men and women. At optimal levels, testosterone increases bone density and bone formation, enhances energy and s*x drive, decreases body fat, increases muscle strength, lowers blood pressure and modulates cholesterol levels. Testosterone is a hormone men and women should not be without

DHEA
DHEA has a beneficial effect on immune response, s*x drive, metabolism and emotional stability. DHEA benefits the immune system and reduces visceral fat associated with diabetes. Other health-related benefits include support of cognitive function, helping the body cope with stress, and protection against heart disease through its effects on lipids and body fat.

MELATONIN
Melatonin regulates the circadian rhythm as well as deep stages of sleep. Studies suggest that the immune system depends on melatonin’s effects of deep sleep. There are hundreds of studies showing that melatonin can scavenge free radicals, and be a safe sleep-enhancing hormone.

PREGNENOLONE
Failure of memory and lack of mental clarity can be among the most frustrating aspects of aging. Studies indicate that Pregnenolone might be beneficial against age-related cognitive decline.

THYROID
This metabolic hormone secreted by the thyroid gland and regulates temperature, metabolism and cerebral function. Insufficient thyroid levels result in fatigue, increased cholesterol levels and increased risk of coronary artery disease. With age, thyroid hormone levels gradually decline resulting in a decreased metabolism, which affects all cells and organs. Low thyroid causes low energy, and thinning of hair, skin and nails.

Custom Compounded Hormone Replacement.

Some doctors are afraid to prescribe BHRT because of misguided fears that it will harm women.

Many patients are afraid of hormone therapy too, and some have never even heard of bioidentical hormones. Recent research has shown that many of these fears are overblown and may still be preventing women who could benefit from hormone therapy from getting the help they need.

Are fears keeping you from BHRT and its potential relief from perimenopause and menopause symptoms?
