What to Expect?
BioTE Hormone Optimization therapy is minimally invasive, and there is minimal discomfort or pain associated with the treatment.
Patients receive a local anesthetic injection at the site of insertion. During the procedure, you may experience some pressure, but it won’t be painful.
The insertion typically takes between 3-5 minutes for women. In men, the procedure will last a little longer, but it’s still quick.
Some patients experience mild swelling, which can make the pellet feel uncomfortable. Swelling typically disappears with a few days. In rare cases, it could last up to one month.
To prevent swelling, women should avoid gluteal exercises for at least 72 hours after insertion, and men should avoid this type of exercise for at least seven days.
Depending on activity levels, women will need to replace their pellets every 3-5 months, while men will need to do so every 4-6 months.
Mild fluid retention is normal in both men and women.
