How and where are pellets inserted by bioidentical hormone doctors?
The insertion of pellets is a simple, relatively painless procedure done under local anesthesia for better comfort. The pellets are usually inserted in the lower abdominal wall or upper buttocks through a small incision, which is then taped closed. Of course, the professional experience of the bioidentical hormone doctors does matter a great deal, not only in placing the pellets, but also in determining the correct dosage of hormones.
