Female Hormone Pellet Therapy in Myrtle Beach

Personalized Hormone Balance with Pellets

At Unity Health in Myrtle Beach, we offer female hormone pellet therapy, a convenient and effective solution for women seeking long-lasting hormone balance. Pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) designed to restore energy, reduce menopausal symptoms, and improve overall well-being.

Unlike traditional hormone therapies, pellets provide a steady, consistent release of hormones throughout the day, eliminating the need for daily pills or frequent injections. Our team, led by Dr. Almog Gal, delivers individualized treatment plans based on comprehensive lab testing and symptom assessment, ensuring safety and maximum effectiveness.

How Female Hormone Pellet Therapy Works

Pellet therapy involves a small, subcutaneous pellet placed under the skin, typically in the hip area. The pellet slowly releases a precise dose of bioidentical estrogen and/or progesterone over several months, helping to stabilize hormone levels naturally.

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Consultation: Discuss symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle goals with our team.

2. Lab Testing: Complete hormone panels and metabolic testing to personalize your plan.

3. Pellet Insertion: A quick, minimally invasive outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia.

4. Monitoring & Follow-up: Regular lab checks and follow-ups to ensure optimal hormone levels and symptom relief.

Pellet therapy offers continuous hormone support, reducing the fluctuations that can occur with pills, creams, or injections.
