How BHRT Works
Step 1
Contact ChristiMD Medical Group for an initial consultation.
We'll thoroughly discuss your symptoms, and take blood samples for testing. Once Dr. Christi has assessed your issues and analyzed your lab work, she can identify the best type and dosage of hormones for your BHRT in Houston, TX. Once this is done, we'll schedule your procedure.
Step 2
Bioidentical hormone replacment therapy uses small, cylinder-shaped bioidentical hormone pellets to correct the hormone imbalances in your body. They can be very tiny, up to very small oval tablets.
Pellet implantation is a simple and relatively pain-free procedure. Your skin will be numbed with local anesthesia, and then Dr. Christi inserts the pellets through a small incision.
Step 3
The pellets deliver hormones directly to your bloodstream around the clock for 3 to 6 months after your BHRT procedure.
ChristiMD Medical Group will call you for follow-ups to ensure your issues are improving, and to make any adjustments as needed.
You may experience some acne, bloating, or swelling, but these easily-treatable symptoms should subside within a few weeks.
