What is Hormone Pellet Therapy?
Hormone pellet therapy is a form of hormone replacement therapy that uses small implants to deliver a prescribed hormone over an extended period. The pellets are typically about the size of a grain of rice and can contain hormones such as estradiol or testosterone.
The pellet is placed beneath the skin. Once inserted, it gradually dissolves and releases the hormone into the bloodstream over several months. This provides continuous hormone delivery without requiring daily pills or regularly applied creams and gels.
The hormone, dose, and monitoring schedule are determined before insertion based on the patient’s medical history, symptoms, laboratory findings when indicated, and treatment goals.
Treatment duration and response vary depending on the prescribed hormone, dosage, formulation, metabolism, and individual health factors.
Could Hormonal Changes Be
Affecting How You Feel?
Hormonal changes can affect energy, sleep, mood, sexual health, concentration, and physical performance. These concerns can
develop during perimenopause, menopause, or clinically diagnosed testosterone deficiency.
Symptoms that can lead patients to request a hormone evaluation include:
Hot Flashes or
Night Sweats
Sleep
Disturbances
Vaginal
Dryness
Painful
Intercourse
Low
Libido
Persistent
Fatigue
Mood Changes
or Irritability
Difficulty
Concentrating
Reduced
Muscle Mass
Changes in
Sexual Function
Reduced Physical Performance
These symptoms may be influenced by several factors beyond hormone levels. Dr. Syra Hanif takes a comprehensive approach, reviewing your health history, symptoms, and individual needs to determine whether hormone therapy is appropriate for you.

Benefits of Hormone
Pellet Therapy
Hormone pellet therapy offers potential benefits for eligible women and men with a medically identified need for hormone replacement.
Benefits depend on the hormone prescribed, the condition being treated, dosage and individual response.
Relief From Menopausal Symptoms
Estradiol pellet therapy can help appropriately selected women manage hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse associated with menopause.
Support for Testosterone Deficiency
Testosterone pellets can help eligible patients with clinically confirmed testosterone deficiency address low energy, reduced libido, loss of muscle mass and changes in sexual function.
Improved Energy and Daily Function
When fatigue and reduced physical performance are connected to a diagnosed hormone deficiency, appropriate treatment can support energy levels and everyday functioning.
Enhanced
Sexual Health
Hormone therapy can help address low libido, vaginal dryness and other sexual-health concerns related to menopause or confirmed testosterone deficiency.
Long-Lasting
Convenience
Pellets gradually release the prescribed hormone over several months, eliminating the need for daily pills or regular application of creams, gels and patches.
Personalized
Treatment
The hormone, dose and monitoring schedule are selected according to the patient’s symptoms, medical history, laboratory findings when indicated and treatment goals.
Results differ between patients, and hormone pellet therapy does not treat every cause of fatigue, mood changes, low libido or reduced
physical performance. A medical evaluation determines whether these symptoms are hormone-related and whether pellet therapy is appropriate.
What Happens During a Hormone
Pellet Appointment?
Consultation With Dr. Syra Hanif

Medical Evaluation
Dr. Syra Hanif orders bloodwork when clinically indicated and reviews factors that determine whether hormone therapy is appropriate. Not every patient requires the same testing or treatment.

- ✦ Prefer an alternative to daily hormone medication
- ✦ Understand that the dose cannot be quickly adjusted after insertion
