Biote Pellet Hormone Therapy Provider in Beckley, WV

At Beckley Internal Medicine, we offer Biote hormone pellet therapy as part of our comprehensive range of medical services. Our experienced healthcare professionals understand that maintaining optimal hormonal balance is crucial to your overall health, and we are committed to providing innovative and effective treatment options.

Biote hormone pellet therapy is a unique form of hormone replacement therapy that utilizes bioidentical hormones. These hormones are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the human body, helping to ensure optimal hormonal balance. This therapy is a personalized treatment that can be used to treat hormone imbalances or deficiencies in both men and women.

Unlike traditional hormone replacement therapies administered through pills, creams, or injections, Biote therapy uses small pellets about the size of a grain of rice. These pellets, derived from plant-based bioidentical hormones, are inserted under the skin, usually in the hip or buttock area, through a minimally invasive procedure that typically takes around 15 minutes.

The pellets gradually dissolve, providing a steady, consistent release of hormones into your bloodstream over several months, eliminating the need for daily or weekly dosing. This controlled release also avoids the fluctuations in hormone levels that can occur with other hormone replacement therapies.

Biote hormone pellet therapy can be used to treat a range of symptoms and conditions, including menopausal symptoms in women, low testosterone levels in men, mood swings, fatigue, weight gain, decreased sexual desire, night sweats, hot flashes, and cognitive decline. The therapy is personalized to your specific needs, with the dose and combination of hormones customized based on a comprehensive hormonal panel conducted before starting the therapy.

We recommend regular follow-up appointments to monitor hormone levels and adjust the pellet dosage as necessary. It is important to note that this therapy should be administered under the supervision of our qualified healthcare professionals, who will assess your individual needs, determine if you are a suitable candidate, and provide ongoing monitoring to ensure optimal outcomes.

At Beckley Internal Medicine, we understand that hormonal imbalances can significantly impact your daily life, causing a myriad of physical and psychological symptoms. Biote can potentially address a wide range of symptoms related to hormonal imbalance. If you’re finding yourself constantly fatigued regardless of sufficient rest, or if you’re experiencing difficulty concentrating or sleeping, it may be indicative of a hormonal imbalance related to your thyroid or adrenal glands. Biote may help correct this imbalance and alleviate these symptoms.

For our female patients in menopause, Biote can provide much-needed relief from hot flashes and night sweats, symptoms commonly associated with decreased estrogen levels. It can also manage mood swings, depression, and anxiety. Additionally, it can treat symptoms related to sexual health, offering relief from low libido and vaginal dryness.

For our male patients experiencing andropause, the male equivalent of menopause, Biote can help manage symptoms often linked to declining testosterone levels, including low libido, erectile dysfunction, and reduced muscle mass. It can also address mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and irritability.

Beyond these specific symptoms, Biote can also potentially help with unexplained weight gain, muscle weakness, joint pain, and memory and cognition issues. It can assist in managing conditions caused by hormonal imbalances, such as osteoporosis, by helping to increase bone density.

Biote can also treat symptoms related to progesterone imbalance, such as irregular menstrual cycles, heavy or prolonged bleeding, premenstrual symptoms, and infertility.

Our BioTE therapy is intended as a long-term treatment to address underlying hormonal imbalances and support overall health and well-being. The duration for which a person can stay on BioTE is primarily dependent on the individual’s unique health needs and conditions, which are carefully evaluated during an initial comprehensive assessment.

As a general guideline, a single BioTE pellet insertion can last anywhere between three to five months in women and four to six months in men. However, this duration may vary depending on factors such as age, lifestyle, overall health status, individual patient response, and treatment goals. It’s important to understand that BioTE hormone therapy is not a quick fix.

At Beckley Internal Medicine, we recognize that hormonal imbalances can significantly affect a patient’s physical and emotional well-being. These imbalances may be a result of various factors such as menopause, andropause, or other endocrine disorders. Our approach involves the insertion of small, bioidentical hormone pellets underneath the skin. These pellets are custom-compounded based on each patient’s unique physiological needs, ensuring precise hormone levels.

At Beckley Internal Medicine, we provide this therapy to release small, consistent doses of hormones directly into the bloodstream. This bypasses the liver and digestive system, ensuring that the hormones are not lost or degraded and are readily available for use by the body’s cells.

Biote Hormone Pellet Therapy at Beckley Internal Medicine can significantly diminish symptoms associated with hormonal imbalance. It can alleviate menopausal symptoms, improve mood, memory, and concentration, enhance libido, promote restful sleep, boost energy levels, and enhance overall vitality.

In comparison to traditional hormone replacement methods like creams, injections, and pills, our Biote Hormone Pellet Therapy offers a more steady and consistent release of hormones, leading to stable hormone levels, fewer fluctuations, and often a more effective treatment.
