The way we feel, think, look, and connect are interconnected.

A Whole-Body Approach

If making changes to your diet, physical activity, medication, and sleep schedule has not improved your sexual functioning, we invite you to try hormone therapy. Dr. Clarke-Bennett will conduct a thorough medical history to make sure hormone replacement therapy will not cause problems with your existing medical conditions and medications.

What Is Pellet Therapy?

Pellet therapy is an innovative and effective way to deliver a regulated supply of hormones to your body when symptoms of a hormone imbalance negatively impact your quality of life. Dr. Clarke uses timed-released pellets inserted under the skin to improve patients’ hormone levels. Because the hormones used are natural, biocompatible chemicals, pellet therapy is ideal for patients who are looking to get the benefits of natural hormones without the risks associated with synthetics.

Pellet Therapy for Women

Hormone pellet therapy for women uses estrogen or progesterone (either alone or together) to help ease the symptoms of menopause, including:

  • Hot flashes
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Pain with intercourse
  • Increased risk of bone loss
  • Urinary system changes
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Mood swings

What About the Risks?

Research shows that certain types of hormone therapy may increase patients’ risk of blood clots, stroke, weight gain, and gallbladder disease. Using bioidentical hormone therapy may reduce these risks, but there have been no major research studies of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Bioidentical estriol and progesterone have been approved by the FDA, but some custom-compounded bioidenticals have not yet been approved. Talk to your doctor about the risks and potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy.

If you live near Laurel, MD, and are considering bioidentical hormone therapy, we invite you to contact Dr. Clarke-Bennett at A Better You Medical Spa.
