It’s natural for men to experience a gradual decline in testosterone as they age, but that doesn't mean they have to accept the reduced quality of life that comes with it. If you want to restore your vigor, ask your physician about testosterone pellet therapy.

How Does Testosterone Pellet Therapy Work? 

Testosterone pellet therapy is a kind of hormone replacement therapy. To administer this treatment, physicians implant approximately 10 small testosterone pellets beneath the skin, typically near the hips or buttocks. Each pellet is about the size of a grain of rice. They deliver a consistent low dose of crystallized testosterone and last for about six months before they need replacing.

What Are the Benefits of Testosterone Pellet Therapy?

Implanting the testosterone pellets is a simple, noninvasive procedure that can be completed in a matter of minutes. Once inserted, these pellets raise the patient’s testosterone levels, thereby eliminating all the symptoms they’ve been experiencing. Low testosterone can cause sleep disturbances, increased body fat, reduced muscle mass, decreased bone density, hair loss, fatigue, and low libido. 

Testosterone pellets are not the only way to combat the symptoms mentioned above. However, they have some advantages over other hormone replacement therapies. For example, inserting the pellets for months at a time is more convenient than relying on injections, gels, creams, or oral medications. Additionally, pellets don’t cause negative side effects like skin irritation or gastrointestinal distress.
