Testosterone pellet therapy for women

Thank you for your response. I have not yet had my blood tested. I will look into it and post my findings.

The doctor I am seeing is a specialist for hormone therapy specifically for the pellet therapy. I have had my blood test but do not have the results back yet and I’m starting the DHEA insert for the vaginal atrophy. Hopefully it will help without horrible side effects. This is all new to me. I don’t take any medications of any sort (Except on occasion an antibiotic to get rid of a sinus infection) And prefer to go the natural route as I have been doing for other issues. I am afraid of taking any drugs on a permanent ongoing basis.So I am continuing my investigation before attempting testosterone pellet therapy. And yes, DHEA insert is very expensive. So I’m hoping that the DHEA will resolve my vaginal issue within a short time before I find a permanent solution to manage it.

BHRT is not FDA approved and it has not been proven safe for use in humans per Dr. Google. I’m certain there are more articles saying the same thing.

Same protocol and results

With respect sir maybe you shouldn't be using Dr. Google.
Per Mayo Clinic...
"The term "bioidentical" means the hormones in the medicine are chemically the same as those the body makes. In fact, the hormones in bioidentical medicines may not be any different from those in traditional hormone therapy. In the United States, many hormone therapy medicines approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and prescribed by healthcare professionals have bioidentical hormones in them"

"Traditional hormone treatments also sometimes use natural hormones. For example, some FDA-approved medicines come from plants. These medicines include some brands of estradiol (Estrace, Alora, others). Estradiol has the hormone estrogen. These medicines also include a form of the hormone progesterone sold under the name Prometrium."

@kisu my apology for not including that some compounded BHRT products are not FDA approved in my quote. Thank you for the article you provided.

The Mayo Clinic does not support testosterone for muscle and joint health. I quote:

However, many professional societies, including the International Menopause Society, support careful, monitored testosterone use in postmenopausal women to improve their sexual desire, as long as there are no other contributing medical or psychiatric conditions. The goal of treatment in these women is to get their testosterone up to the levels that are seen in younger women before menopause. Despite what many women and the media tout, testosterone use is not recommended for:

Treating depression
Improving bone density
Improving muscle mass or strength
Reducing body fat
Enhancing general well-being
Improving cognition
