At Clinics MedYDerma in Orihuela Costa, hormone therapy is a valuable treatment option designed to address a range of health issues through carefully administered hormones. In gynaecology, it’s commonly used to alleviate menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, as well as to manage conditions such as premenstrual syndrome and certain hormonal imbalances. One common approach is hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which typically combines estrogen and, in some cases, progesterone.

Hormone Pellet Therapy

Once the decision is made to pursue hormone therapy, the next step is choosing the best method. For some women, hormone pellet therapy may be ideal. This method involves the insertion of 2-3 tiny pellets, each about the size of a grain of rice and containing either testosterone or estradiol, into the fatty tissue of the hip. This allows the hormone to be gradually and consistently delivered directly into the bloodstream.

The procedure at Clinics MedYDerma is quick and simple, performed in-office with local numbing of the skin and a small incision that requires only a steri strip, without stitches. The pellets act as a steady reservoir of hormone, providing a consistent dose throughout the day and night. Over the course of 3-5 months, the pellets dissolve fully, leaving no residue.

Because of this efficient delivery system, hormone pellet therapy minimizes side effects compared to oral or injectable hormones, and issues related to poor absorption—often encountered with creams, gels, or patches—are greatly reduced. This method offers a controlled, lasting solution for women seeking relief from hormonal symptoms with minimal disruption to daily life.
