BioTE is a specific type of BHRT that is entirely plant-based and doesn’t include any synthetic hormones. BioTE pellets are tiny custom-made pellets that are inserted into your upper hip or buttock, where they slowly release hormones to regulate your body function and reduce your symptoms.
BHRT begins with a comprehensive exam and consultation including a full blood panel to identify any hormonal deficiencies or signs of other conditions that could be contributing to your symptoms. Once your doctor knows exactly what your needs are, they work with a BioTE- approved compounding pharmacy, where your BHRT pellets are made.
When your pellets are ready, your doctor injects a pellet into your upper hip or buttock, where it slowly releases hormones to regulate your body function. During your treatment, you have frequent appointments with your doctor so they can monitor your symptoms and hormone levels to ensure your BHRT is effective. They may adjust your dose or the hormones included in your pellets, if necessary.
If you’re interested in BHRT, call Humble Family Practice or make an appointment online today to find out if this innovative and highly customized treatment is right for you.
