Testosterone pellets are a form of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) that is implanted under the skin. The pellets are about the size of a grain of rice and contain crystalline testosterone. Once implanted, the pellets slowly release testosterone into the bloodstream over a period of 3 to 6 months. Testosterone replacement therapy pellets are used to treat low testosterone levels in men. Low testosterone can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
- Fatigue
- Low sex drive
- Erectile dysfunction
- Mood swings
- Difficulty concentrating
- Loss of muscle mass
- Increased body fat
- Bone loss
Testosterone replacement therapy via pellets is a safe and effective way to treat low testosterone levels. The pellets are a long-acting form of testosterone therapy, so they do not require daily injections. This can make testosterone pellet therapy more convenient and easier to follow than other forms of TRT. The procedure to implant testosterone pellets is a simple outpatient procedure that takes about 15 minutes. The doctor will numb the area where the pellets will be implanted and then make a small incision in the skin. The pellets will then be inserted into the incision and the incision will be closed with stitches. After the procedure, you may experience some mild pain, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. These side effects should go away within a few days. You will also need to avoid strenuous activity for a few days after the procedure. The risks of testosterone pellet therapy are similar to the risks of other forms of TRT. These risks include:
- High testosterone levels
- Side effects of high testosterone levels, such as acne, hair loss, and aggression
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Pain
- Allergic reaction
- Extrusion of the pellets
If you are considering testosterone replacement therapy via pellets, it is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits. Your doctor can help you determine if testosterone pellet therapy is right for you.
