Menopause occurs 12 months after a woman’s last period. It involves a significant decline in the body’s production of hormones, namely estrogen and progesterone. The hormonal changes associated with menopause have a large impact on women’s health, leading to symptoms such as mood changes, night sweats, restless sleep, vaginal dryness, low libido, and anxiety, among others. These symptoms can begin to appear as early as ten years before menopause as the ovaries gradually produce less estrogen and progesterone throughout adulthood.
After menopause, the body no longer produces the same volume of hormones as it once did. To combat the health problems associated with menopause, many women turn to BioTE hormone pellets.
What is BioTE?
BioTE is a natural hormone replacement method that involves the administration of bio-identical hormones in the form of tiny pellets. These pellets, which are smaller than a grain of rice, are inserted beneath the skin and last up to four months for women and six months for males. This provides ongoing relief from symptoms of menopause without the fluctuations associated with traditional hormone replacement therapy. The hormones used in BioTE are all-natural, plant-derived estrogen and progesterone.
