Testosterone Supplementation for Women in Naperville, IL
Testosterone is a type of sex hormone present in men (and people assigned male at birth) and women (and people assigned female at birth). The purpose of this hormone is to signal to your body what it should do and how.
When testosterone levels start to decrease, changes happen within our bodies that aren’t as desirable.

We are here to help you by creating a custom treatment plan that helps get your body’s hormones balanced.

Testosterone Pellets for Females
Testosterone replacement therapy for symptomatic women has the potential to improve mood and libido, accelerate fat loss, sexual desire, and boost energy levels.
For many patients, the treatment also improves cognition and heightens feelings of well-being. In addition, documented health benefits include reduced cardiac risk, reduced breast cancer risk, and improved bone density.
You will first meet with your board-certified physician, who will take a full medical history from you. This is the time to discuss the different complaints you have been having as well as the procedure of pellet insertion. We are happy to answer any questions and address every possible concern.
Blood work will be done to determine a unique dosage of testosterone, and the procedure will be scheduled. Full effects will be 2-4 weeks after pellet insertion, and the effects will last 3-5 months.
Symptoms of Low Testosterone in Women
It’s normal for testosterone levels to go down with age, but it can also happen at any point for other reasons. Reasons can be anything from genetic conditions to malnutrition, extreme stress, and more.
Having your ovaries removed is another very common cause of low T because the ovaries produce about half of the body’s testosterone. That’s why so many people research testosterone supplements as a potential solution.
Some of the common signs of low testosterone in women include:
- Fatigue
- Trouble sleeping
- Infertility
- Vaginal dryness
- Inability to orgasm
- Decreased sex drive
- Lack of concentration
- Muscle weakness
- Thinning hair
- Dry skin
A blood test is the only way to know for sure how your testosterone levels are doing. Our team can help! Not only do we run diagnostic tests before your procedure to understand the issues you are experiencing, but we also test bloodwork weeks afterward. This helps to ensure that you are on the right track toward wellness.
Women’s Testosterone Therapy FAQs
What Can I Expect On the Day of My Pellet Procedure?
When it’s time for your testosterone therapy procedure, we will go through your lab results together. Testosterone pellets are about the size of a grain of rice, which we place into the fatty tissue along the hips, typically alternating sides with each appointment.
Before the pellet insertion, a small amount of anesthetic will be injected into the buttocks/hip area. Once the numbing has set in, a certified healthcare professional will make a tiny incision to carefully place the pellet underneath the skin.
Steri-strips will be applied to the insertion sight along with two layers of pressure bandages for protection. The full procedure lasts 10 minutes, with patients reporting no pain and minimal discomfort.
How Should I Prepare for Women’s Testosterone Therapy?
Two weeks before your appointment, you should avoid NSAIDs, aspirin, or other blood thinners.
On the day of testosterone therapy, eat a good breakfast to give yourself plenty of energy.
It’s important to understand before the procedure that you may experience bruising, swelling, and/or redness of the insertion site. These side effects can last from a few days to a few weeks.
To help prepare for your resting time, have ice packs or cold compresses ready that you can set on your hips after treatment.
What Should I Avoid After My Pellet Insertion?
During your recovery time, submerging in bathtubs or hot tubs for a week is not recommended. You are welcome to shower right away but wait to scrub the site for seven days.
You shouldn’t participate in aerobic activity, exercise, and weightlifting for five days. Excessive hip movement can lead to the pellet migrating away from the incision area. You can go on walks and do light activities; just be mindful of your movements.
What Should I Do After Hormone Pellet Insertion?
Streamline your recovery after testosterone pellet insertion by:
- Directly massaging the area for six months to help blood flow and circulation
- Removing the outer pressure bandage after 24 hours or if it gets wet
- Removing the steri-strips after three days
- Applying firm pressure for five minutes if you experience bleeding from the incision
- Schedule post-insertion bloodwork five to six weeks after to monitor results
We also recommend putting an ice pack on the insertion area a couple of times for about 20 minutes each time over the next 4 to 5 hours.
If you have any bleeding that pressure doesn’t relieve, or if any pus comes out of the insertion site, please call right away, as this is NOT normal.
How Often Should a Woman Get Testosterone Pellets?
Patients make an appointment for re‐insertion as soon as symptoms that were relieved from the pellets start to return. The charge for the second visit will be only for the insertion, not a consultation.
We typically see that testosterone pellets for women last three to five months after the initial treatment. However, every patient is different. We are happy to help you figure out the best time for testosterone therapy.
