BioTE
Bio-identical Hormone Pellet Therapy
When your body’s ability to produce hormones is disrupted—such as a natural decline with age—you may notice a difference in how you feel. BioTE Medical is a company that specializes in hormone replacement therapy using bioidentical hormones. Bioidentical hormones are compounds that have the same molecular structure as hormones produced naturally in the body. BioTE’s therapy involves the use of hormone pellets that are inserted under the skin to provide a consistent release of hormones over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is BioTE hormone replacement therapy?
BioTE hormone replacement therapy involves the use of bioidentical hormone pellets, typically containing estradiol or testosterone. These pellets are inserted under the skin, usually in the hip area, and provide a slow, steady release of hormones.
How does BioTE differ from traditional hormone replacement therapy?
Traditional hormone replacement therapy often involves the use of synthetic hormones. BioTE uses bioidentical hormones, which are derived from natural sources and are designed to closely mimic the body’s own hormones.
What hormones are typically used in BioTE therapy?
BioTE commonly uses bioidentical estradiol and testosterone for women and testosterone for men. These hormones play crucial roles in maintaining hormonal balance in the body.
Who can benefit from BioTE hormone replacement therapy?
Both men and women experiencing hormone imbalances or deficiencies may benefit from BioTE therapy. Common symptoms include fatigue, mood swings, low libido, weight gain, and other issues related to hormonal imbalance.
How is the BioTE pellet inserted?
The BioTE pellet is usually inserted subcutaneously, or under the skin, in a simple in-office procedure. The pellets are typically placed in the hip or buttock area.
How long do BioTE pellets last?
The pellets typically last for several months, and the frequency of pellet insertion may vary based on individual needs and hormone levels.
