FAQS

BHRT: What kind of testing is done before starting BHRT?

Before starting BHRT, we conduct comprehensive lab testing, which may include blood, saliva, or urine tests, to accurately assess your current hormone levels and identify any imbalances.

BHRT: What is the core of the SottoPelle BHRT method?

The core of the SottoPelle method is its unique pellet delivery system. Small, custom-compounded pellets, roughly the size of a grain of rice, containing bioidentical hormones (most commonly estradiol and testosterone) are gently inserted just under the skin, usually in the hip or buttocks area, during a quick in-office procedure.

BHRT: How do SottoPelle pellets deliver hormones?

SottoPelle pellets are designed to provide a steady, continuous release of hormones directly into your bloodstream. Unlike other methods like creams, pills, or patches that can cause hormone levels to fluctuate, pellets aim to deliver a low, consistent dose 24/7. This approach closely mimics your body's natural hormone production, avoiding the "hormone roller coaster" effect.

BHRT: How long does it take to see results from BHRT?

Many patients begin to notice improvements within a few weeks to a couple of months of starting BHRT, though individual results can vary. Optimal results are often achieved over several months as your body adjusts.

BHRT: How long do SottoPelle hormone pellets last?

Once inserted, the SottoPelle pellets typically provide long-lasting effects, lasting anywhere from 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual and the specific hormones being administered. They gradually dissolve over time, releasing hormones as your body needs them. This eliminates the need for daily dosing.

BHRT: Who can benefit from SottoPelle BHRT?

SottoPelle BHRT is a treatment option for both men and women experiencing hormonal imbalances. For women, it can address symptoms related to perimenopause, menopause, or low testosterone. For men, it can alleviate symptoms of andropause or "Low T." It aims to relieve a wide range of common symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, low libido, mood swings, weight gain, and decreased mental clarity.
