Hormone Pellet Therapy: A New Alternative to Restore Well-Being

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 8, 2012 -- As a woman ages, her hormones decline, and this can cause an imbalance in her body. The shift in hormones can manifest itself in different ways, including hot flashes, depression, fatigue, anxiety, headaches, decrease in libido and weight gain.

But now Propel pellet treatments – an advance in hormone therapy – can treat these manifestations and help a woman achieve a sense of balance and well-being.

“The replacement of a woman’s natural hormones with bio-identical therapies can restore balance,” said Dr. Jonathan Gewirtz, of the Women’s Medical Center in Mays Landing (WMC). “At the proper dosages, bio-identical hormone therapy can benefit many patients who suffer from fatigue, decrease in libido, sleeplessness, irritability, hot flashes, weight gain and vaginal dryness.”

With the Propel pellet, which is derived of plant compounds, hormone therapy is delivered naturally, Gewirtz said. The therapy is highly effective when the correct hormone levels are monitored by your physician. This natural, bio-identical pellet therapy maintains the hormonal equilibrium in your body, because it is absorbed slowly and maintains constant levels in your blood stream.

“The Propel pellet treatment delivers biologically active hormones beneath the skin and can last from four to six months,” said Dr. Gewirtz. The blood levels of hormones are followed precisely with lab work, so that every patient can be assured of a personalized response and improved function.

The Propel pellet insertion procedure is quick and painless. Women who receive hormone therapy pre- and during menopause report improvement in mental and physical health. There are also re-invigorating changes in their sexual lives and a new sense of vitality.

Hormone therapy is not for everyone. Women who have a history of breast cancer, coronary heart disease, or previous blood clot, heart attack or stroke should consult their physician before seeking hormone therapy. For women at high risk for these complications, comprehensive alternatives to hormone therapy are available.
