Hormone Pellet Therapy | Tampa FL

Hormone Pellet Therapy has women in Tampa, Fl, looking and feeling great at midlife and beyond!

Hormone Pellet Therapy for women is a safe and convenient treatment for women dealing with the most debilitating symptoms of menopause and age-related hormone decline. We create a hormone pellet program as unique as you are. At our Tampa, Fl location, Dr. Winston Cope, M.D., designs your hormone pellet treatment plan tailored to your individual symptoms, goals, and lifestyle.

Hormone Pellet Therapy uses small rice-like pellets containing hormones, usually estradiol, made from plant sources implanted just under the skin, where they release doses of hormones into the body. Once the pellet is in place, it slowly dissolves, gradually and steadily releasing hormones that enter your bloodstream and restore balance. Each patient’s pellets are custom-made to contain the precise dose of the specific bioidentical hormones they need.

As opposed to other forms of hormone replacement, with hormone pellets, you receive an ongoing and consistent flow of hormones. This is much closer to the way your body normally produces and releases hormones. As a result, your levels always stay within a normal range.

“Hormone pellets deliver hormone therapy in a more consistent and biologically friendly way than most other forms of hormone replacement.”

Who Can Benefit From Hormone Pellet Therapy?

Hormone pellet therapy is an attractive option for relieving the most common symptoms of menopause.

In addition to alleviating typical perimenopause or menopausal symptom such as night sweats, hot flashes, and mood swings, our hormone replacement treatments for menopause provides:

• Improved Libido and Better Sexual Performance – Our menopause patients see an increased sex drive, less vaginal dryness, and report more satisfying sexual experiences.
• Increased Energy and Stamina – Our approach to hormone therapy has been shown to increase metabolism, which boosts your ability to turn fat into energy.
• Improved Memory and Cognition – Hormone therapy for women has been shown to improve memory, focus, and concentration.
• Stronger Bones – Hormone therapy for women leads to stronger, healthier bones and decreases your risk of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a common and serious complication of menopause.

How Does Hormone Pellet Therapy Work?

As opposed to other delivery methods hormone pellets offer:

Consistent delivery

You receive an ongoing and consistent flow of hormones. This is much closer to the way your body normally produces and releases hormones. As a result, your levels always stay within a normal range. By comparison, pills and shots suddenly introduce a large dose that steadily declines, reaching a low level just before it’s time for your next shot or pill. This roller coaster effect does not promote optimal health and wellness.

Long-lasting delivery

Pellets last three to four months, giving you the hormones your body needs without needing to remember to take daily pills, apply creams, or give yourself frequent shots.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Age-Related Hormone Loss In Women?

There are many signs and symptoms of age-related hormone loss in women. The symptoms of menopause can start even before a woman has had her last period. This time when symptoms gradually appear as estrogen drops is known as perimenopause. Symptoms before and during menopause include:

• Hot Flashes
• Night sweats
• Insomnia
• Dryness and thinning of the skin and particularly the vaginal area
• Diminished sex drive and loss of sensitivity to stimulation
• Hair Loss
• Anxiety
• Forgetfulness that may include an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease
• Depression and other mood changes

Symptoms also include the potential loss of bone density and increased risk of heart disease.

What Kind of Results Can I Expect From Hormone Pellet Therapy For Women?

Hormone pellets are inserted in a simple, pain-free in-office procedure. They are well-tolerated and quite effective in delivering hormone replacement therapy for most women. The hormone pellets are inserted under the skin, usually in the thigh or the hip area. The pellets release small amounts of hormone directly into the bloodstream in a manner quite similar to the way that your ovaries produced during your younger adult years.

As with any medical treatment or procedure, your individual results of hormone pellets therapy will vary. Generally speaking, it usually takes a few weeks before you will feel the initial benefits of pellet therapy and up to three months to feel the full effects.

Over the course of that time, you will see improved sexual wellness, increases in energy, relief of menopausal symptoms, a reduction of “foggy thinking,” and an overall improved sense of well-being. Most of our patients experience little or no side effects from hormone pellet therapy.
