One of the problems we face as we age is hormonal imbalances and changes. Some hormonal changes are expected, like the changes in estrogen levels and testosterone levels that drop in our forties and beyond. Other hormonal issues are caused by illness and disease, and the body can experience some terrible side effects from hormonal problems like acne or libido problems.
If you’re interested in learning about replacement hormone therapy and how introducing estrogen and testosterone to your body may help hormonal imbalances, you’ll want to know more about BioTE pellet therapy, which is a featured treatment at Pro-Care Medical Center.
Hormone Pellets Have a Long History
Although BioTE pellets may seem like something from the future, they were actually developed at the close of the 1930s as a treatment for women who had undergone a radical hysterectomy. Later, they would see use by women experiencing menopausal symptoms. A variety of studies on the effectiveness of the pellets has come out of Europe and Australia.
One of the notable findings has to do with the way the pellets deliver hormones. Scientifically speaking, hormone delivery is based upon cardiac output, which means the patient receives an appropriate amount of hormones based upon his or her own body’s needs. Also, one of the benefits of using pellets is that the therapy doesn’t use the liver, which means problems with the body’s clotting mechanism aren’t a concern.

Experiencing Hormonal Imbalances
There are several symptoms you may experience with a hormonal imbalance. For women, hormonal imbalances may cause weight gain, anxiety, headaches, and PMS. Severe cases can even cause early miscarriage or infertility. Further effects include hot flashes, memory issues, and night sweats.
Men are also at risk for many symptoms when they experience a hormone imbalance. They may see unexplained weight loss, lower sex drive, and fatigue. Men may also experience hair loss, headaches, and an enlarged prostate.
BioTE Outperforms Other PrescriptionsImage may be NSFW.

Science has given us a variety of options for hormone therapy including oral, patch, and cream prescriptions. One of the drawbacks of some of those prescriptions is the side effects. BioTE pellets not only provide effective therapy, but they also come with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs.
You may be wondering why a therapy that outperforms many other treatments isn’t well-known, and the answer has to do with patents.
Because pellets use hormones that are identical to the ones our bodies already produce, they can’t be patented by pharmaceutical companies. No patent means there isn’t a significant amount of money to be made as is the case with popular drugs. However, despite a lack of support from major pharmaceutical companies, the pellet therapy is available from certified practitioners.
How Does the BioTE Process Work?
BioTE isn’t a “one size fits all” approach to hormone therapy. With the help of an experienced practitioner, this bioidentical hormone pellet therapy will be prescribed in a dose that fits the specific patient’s body. An effective and proper dose means patients will see the greatest benefit from using the therapy.
When taking the hormones, there are a variety of potential positive outcomes that include improved mental strength and a more pronounced libido. In addition, patients have also reported positive changes in the body including a reduction of body fat and an increase in muscle mass and toned muscles.
Hormonal balance is important at all stages of your life and particularly as you reach middle age and beyond.
