Testosterone pellet therapy for women

Posted by caspurr @caspurr, Feb 7 9:16pm

I am 71 years old and it was suggested to me that I should try this to help rebuild bone and muscle and hopefully restore and heal my injured knee. Severe arthritis bone on bone on left knee along with meniscus tear and ACL tear.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bones, Joints & Muscles Support Group.

I would think seriously about pellet therapy as the mode of choice. This method is more difficult to control the dose as once it's inserted, I don't think you can remove it should the dose be too high. I know too many women who have suffered hair loss and other unwanted side effects from testosterone pellet therapy. A transdermal method would be easier to dose and manage.

What about DHEA supplements. Don't they help the body boost its own testosterone? I am a 76 year old woman, and have been taking DHEA to help build muscle (through resistance training). It would certainly be a plus if it was also beneficial to my bones as I have ostopenia too.

Thank you for your response. I’m not sure about the website address but if you look under testosterone pellet therapy, there will be information there. Friends recommended the company they are using. But there are others. BioTE is one of them. I’m not sure that I trust their recommendation.

As a counterpoint, I have not had any issues with the testosterone pellet. My functional medicine provider is very conservative about dosing and follows my blood tests carefully. I am, however, go into ask her about the patch mainly for my convenience.

Thank you for your response. I am a 71 year-old female and I’m just wondering approximately what age you are and how long have you been taking the testosterone pallet therapy.? Is it testosterone/estrogen/progesterone in the pellet? Or is progesterone taken separately as an pill?And are you seeing any amazing benefits with this product?
