Delivery methods vary based on your individual needs and preferences. In general, we recommend pellet therapy as a good option for females and injection therapy as a good option for males.

Pellet therapy provides consistent hormone release for 3 to 4 months. Females have extra adipose tissue that can hold pellets in place without extrusion. Because men don’t have the same amount of this tissue and adherently have a higher extrusion rate, we usually recommend testosterone injections.

Yes. Creams are not usually our first recommendation because they tend to be less effective than other methods. It’s also important to be careful with creams about transference to family members and pets.

At Amy Brenner, MD & Associates, we bill insurance for every part of the process that we can. This includes the initial consultation, bloodwork, and follow-up lab visits.

When you visit us for HRT in Cincinnati, you’ll start with an individualized consultation. During this time, you’ll sit down with one of our providers so we can discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and goals for treatment. If we suspect that you may have a hormone imbalance, we will order a blood test to take a closer look at your hormone levels.

From there, we will discuss your treatment options and determine which delivery method is best for you. After you start treatment, you will have follow-up lab visits where we will monitor your hormone levels and make adjustments to your dosing if needed. Additionally, you will meet with one of our providers every 3 to 4 months to discuss your treatment.
