The traditional method of treating symptoms associated with hormone deficiency includes anti-depressants and synthetic hormones (which might consist of Provera, Premarin, Evista, Activella, and/or oral contraceptives) in the lowest dose for the shortest amount of time. Many providers are almost hesitant to prescribe hormone therapy. Yet, these providers are failing to make a significant distinction between synthetic hormones and Bio-identical Hormones (BHRT).

Traditional hormone therapy included synthetic hormones with a different molecular structure than natural hormones. Although they have proven to relieve vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness), traditional hormone therapy can’t reduce all the signs that hormone deficiencies can cause. In addition, according to the Women’s Health Initiative published in 2003, Prempro and Provera were found to carry increased risks of breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke. These foreign hormones can be harmful since the molecular structure is not identical to a woman’s natural hormones and is not metabolized by her body in the same manner.

Empower RF is the most advanced technology, delivering life-changing women’s wellness treatments.

With this platform, multiple complaints can be addressed, including stress, urge, mixed urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, pain with intercourse, chronic infections, and vaginal laxity.

Approximately 1 out of 3 women over the age of 45 and 1 out of every two women over 65 have some form of stress urinary incontinence. Not to mention, a recent study found that some form of female sexual dysfunction was reported in 58% of 1st-time mothers one year after childbirth.

The main complaint includes insignificant lubrication, abnormal vaginal sensation, vaginal laxity, and incontinence during intercourse.

For 1 in 10 women, sex hurts – every time. A new study that surveyed nearly 7000 British women ages 16 to 74 found that women in their late 50’s and early 60’s were most likely to experience pain during sex, followed by women ages 16 to 24.

Imbalanced hormones affect all aspects of your wellness, physical and mental. Reproductive hormones such as estrogen and testosterone are no different. At Rhett Women’s Center, we find that hormone pellet therapy is an excellent solution for optimizing and replenishing women’s and men’s hormone levels. Pellet Therapy is among the methods of hormone optimization used to balance hormones for men and women.

Hormone Pellet Therapy at Rhett Women’s Center is a form of bio-identical hormone therapy that delivers hormones that are molecularly identical to your body’s hormones. Pellets the size of a grain of rice provide estradiol (a form of estrogen) or testosterone tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Dr. Edmund Rhett or Dr. David Smith place testosterone +/- estradiol pellets through a small incision in the hip or buttocks to insert the pellet. The procedure only takes about three minutes, is painless, and requires no recovery time.

Hormone pellet therapy’s primary benefit over other methods of hormone optimization is that the pellets release small amounts of hormones directly into the bloodstream, creating less risk of inconsistent delivery. Other benefits include:

• Increased libido
• Increased muscle mass
• Decreased body fat
• Reduced risk for diseases such as osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s
• Improved cardiovascular health
• Healthy blood sugars
• Healthy cholesterol levels
• Less hot flashes/night sweats
• More energy
• Better sleep
