Hormone Pellets?

Posted , 5 users are following.

I am considering hormone pellets for a few reasons including a hopeful relief from LS.  

Does anyone out there have experience with hormone pellets or have gotten some definitive advise about them or have a good resource for information?  

If so how have they effected you?

Any relief from LS?

Thank you!

    I use the generic form of vagifem.  Not sure if that is what you are referring to, but I insert a pill - it's estrogen.  I'm supposed to do it 2x/week, but only do it 1x/week.  Helps with vaginal dryness, and I haven't had any side effects.  My doctor said if taken as prescribed, it's the equivalent of 1 hormone treatment per year.

    Hi Christine

    That is t what I’m referring to but it sounds interesting.  Has it only helped vaginal dryness or are you seeing/feeling a positive effect on LS?

    The pellets are determined by a range of blood tests and then inserted under the skin on the butt.  SottoPelle is the doc that developed it.  There’s private med centers here in the US that do this procedure.

    HI Flower ~  no I don't have any experience with that. Are the homeopathic? 

    well, in any case, some of the supplements that I found in doing research on the nutrition to rebalance our bodies from autoimmunity are listed as also aiding hormonal rebalancing - without actually being a hormone - well oh, vitamin D it turns out is actually a hormone - fascinating... just domw thoughts to consider...
