BioTE® Hormone Therapy: What Women Need to Know
Hormonal balance plays a vital role in women’s overall health, especially as we age. As a gynecologist committed to providing comprehensive care, I am excited to offer BioTE® hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—a natural, bioidentical hormone solution now available in our women’s services line here at Cuero Regional Hospital.
Whether you’re navigating menopause, struggling with low energy, or noticing mood changes or weight gain that just won’t budge, BioTE may be the answer you’ve been seeking.
What Is BioTE®?
BioTE is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that uses tiny pellets—about the size of a grain of rice—placed just beneath the skin. These pellets release consistent, individualized doses of hormones (usually estrogen or testosterone) that closely match what your body naturally produces.
Unlike synthetic hormone therapies, BioTE is plant-based and bioidentical, meaning it mimics the molecular structure of your body’s own hormones. This often translates to fewer side effects and a more natural transition to hormonal balance.
Who Can Benefit?
Many women experience hormonal imbalances due to aging, perimenopause, menopause, or other health conditions. You may benefit from BioTE if you experience:
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Low libido or sexual dysfunction
- Fatigue or trouble concentrating
- Mood swings or depression
- Weight gain or muscle loss
- Poor sleep or brain fog
If these symptoms are affecting your quality of life, it may be time to talk with Dr. Suarez about BioTE.
What to Expect
Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation and lab work. We’ll assess your symptoms and hormone levels to determine if BHRT is appropriate for you.
Step 2: Personalized Pellet Therapy
If you’re a candidate, your customized pellet dosage is created specifically for your body. The insertion procedure is quick, typically done in-office in under 15 minutes with a local anesthetic.
Step 3: Ongoing Support and Monitoring
Pellets release hormones steadily over 3–5 months, helping you avoid the rollercoaster of creams or pills. We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to track your response and adjust therapy as needed.
