At the Center for Hormone Health and Wellness, Dr. Thomas W. Clark and his team are often asked two questions. 

The first question is ‘How long will it take to notice a difference after receiving treatment with bio-identical hormone replacement pellets?’ and the second question is commonly, ‘How long will the treatment last?’  We will address both of these questions for you in this blog.

Wouldn’t it be nice if once you were treated with bio-identical hormone replacement pellets you noticed results immediately and those results lasted for life?  Unfortunately, it is not quite that simple.

After you are evaluated, treatment is decided upon, and your pellets are placed, you will not notice a change right away.  In fact, it generally takes about five weeks for your pellets to really kick in.  However, most people start noticing some changes and improvement in their symptoms within about one to two weeks.  Most commonly, we hear patients state that they start noticing they have a little more energy, or they are thinking a little more clearly, or sleeping better. 

For women, once your pellets are placed, they typically last for about three to four months.  For men, it is usually about six months. Everyone begins to notice some return of their corrected symptoms at slightly different times. 

You may wonder why treatment lasts longer for men.  The reason is that men are typically treated with higher doses.  Therefore, they last longer.  Once your symptoms start to return, it is time for your next treatment. 

To supplement this information, you are encouraged to watch an informative short webinar that reviews what you need to know about bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.  If you have other specific questions or are ready to get started, visit https://www.cfhhw.com or give us a call at (757) 223-0940.
