What Are the Side Effects of BHRT Pellet Therapy?
While BHRT Pellet Therapy is generally considered safe for most patients, there are some potential side effects to be aware of. The most common side effects occur shortly after the pellet insertion and may include soreness or tenderness at the insertion site. Some individuals may also experience mild bruising or swelling in the area, though these symptoms typically resolve within a few days. In rare cases, infection at the insertion site can occur, but this is uncommon when the procedure is performed by a trained healthcare provider.
Other potential side effects of BHRT Pellet Therapy are related to the hormonal changes occurring within the body. Some patients may experience mood swings, headaches, or changes in libido, especially during the initial stages of treatment as their body adjusts to the new hormone levels. For women, side effects related to estrogen therapy may include bloating or breast tenderness, while testosterone therapy in both men and women may lead to acne, increased body hair, or oily skin. Although these side effects are typically temporary, it’s important for patients to stay in close contact with their healthcare provider to monitor their response to the therapy. In some cases, adjustments to the hormone dosage may be necessary to minimize side effects and optimize the treatment's benefits.
