In Detail
Hormone pellets typically last 3 to 4 months in women and 4 to 6 months in men, though the exact duration depends on metabolism, body composition, activity level, and dose. Patients who exercise vigorously often metabolize pellets faster than sedentary patients.
We track symptom return and check labs at appropriate intervals to determine the right re-insertion timing for each patient. The goal is consistent benefit without overshooting at peak or losing effect before the next cycle.
Pellet therapy works best as part of an ongoing relationship — initial dose selection, follow-up labs, symptom tracking, and gradual refinement over the first year typically yield the best results.
