Dr. Charles Mok explains why doctors switch from hormone creams to subcutaneous pellets for testosterone and estrogen replacement. Testosterone pellets are rice-grain sized and inserted under the skin, usually in the buttocks or near the abdomen, delivering more consistent hormone levels than creams alone.

In our practice, we've been doing hormone replacement therapy. During that entire time, we were using the bioidentical hormone creams at first, which were working well. It was really hard to get enough testosterone into a woman through creams. So we switched over to the pellets, which are much more stable. Testosterone pellets about the side of a piece of rice. The estrogen pellet is about 1 20th that size. And then progesterone, which is another natural hormone that is taken orally. And the pellets go into your skin using the buttocks. It can go anywhere. You can put it where there's a scar in the abdomen from a C section or a appendix scar.
