Progesterone & Estradiol Hormone Therapy

Pellet therapy uses hormones derived from natural plant sources to replicate the body’s normal hormonal levels for both men and women. Patients have found this type of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy extremely effective. A pellet smaller than a grain of rice is placed under the skin and consistently releases small, physiologic doses of hormones that provide optimal therapy. Pellets contain a natural plant source of estrogen or testosterone. The pellet is made by a compounding pharmacist which follows strict federal guidelines to compound the estrogen or testosterone used in the pellet for your unique needs. The pellets are placed in the fatty tissue underneath the skin and most closely mimic the hormone release of hormones into the bloodstream. Implanting the hormone pellet is a procedure we do in our office. The insertion of pellets is a simple, relatively painless procedure done under local anesthesia. The pellets are usually inserted in the lower abdominal wall or hip through a small incision which is taped closed. Experience of the health care professional counts; not only in placing the pellets, but in determining the correct dosage of hormones to be used. Dr. James Campbell has been implanting hormone pellets in Tulsa County for 30 years. Because the hormones used are completely natural, pellet therapy is ideal for patients who want the benefits of a natural hormone without the drawbacks of a synthetic. After pellets are inserted, patients may notice that they have more energy, sleep better and feel happier. Muscle mass and bone density will increase while fatty tissue decreases. Patients may notice increased strength, co-ordination and physical performance. They may see an improvement in skin tone, hair texture, concentration and memory as well as overall physical and sexual health.
