Experience the Virden Difference
Understanding Bioidentical Hormones
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those produced naturally by your body. At TheraPellET, we only use natural plant-based sources, like wild yams for testosterone and soy for estrogen. These hormones are for people with low or unbalanced hormones, which can negatively impact your overall well-being. We specialize in slow-release pellets, offering a consistent release and minimizing side effects.
Bioidentical Estrogen
Replacement Therapy
Our approach to bioidentical estrogen replacement therapy uses bioidentical estrogen derived from soy. Using Dr. Virden’s patented method, this treatment ensures a slow and steady release of estrogen through pellets, providing a minimally invasive and effective procedure. By treating low estrogen levels, we aim to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness to enhance your overall quality of life.

Virden Method™
Virden Method™ is Dr. Virden’s patented approach to implant bioidentical hormone pellets. It’s designed to be more gentle on your body and deliver hormones more effectively, using blunt-edged atraumatic trocars as opposed to traditional sharp-tip trocars. The blunt atraumatic trocar used in the Virden Method™ minimizes bleeding, making absorption possible. We recommend 2 to 3 insertions for men and 3 to 4 insertions for women per year.

FAQs
What Are the Side Effects of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?
For a couple of days post-treatment, you may experience swelling, bruising, and mild pain at the injection site.
Is Bioidentical HRT Better Than HRT?
Both types of treatment are effective in managing symptoms of low testosterone and low estrogen. The difference is your preference on whether you want a natural or synthetic treatment. Bioidentical hormones used at TheraPellET are derived from wild yams (testosterone) and soy (estrogen), giving you a natural approach to hormone replacement therapy.
How Many Years Can You Take Bioidentical Hormones?
The duration of your treatment depends on your individual needs and how long you want symptom relief. We can regularly monitor and reevaluate your treatment based on the safety and effectiveness of therapy.
Do Bioidentical Hormones Cause Weight Gain?
Bioidentical hormones don’t directly cause weight gain, but it can occur as a result of other factors associated with hormone therapy. These factors include things like water retention or an increase in your appetite.
What Happens to Your Body When You Stop Taking Bioidentical Hormones?
Your body may return to its pre-hormone therapy state, meaning your symptoms may come back. The severity and duration of your symptoms can vary depending on individual factors and the length of time you were on hormone therapy.
