Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Pellet Therapy for Men & Women

At Women’s Health & Wellness in Covington, LA, Dr. Vicki Steen offers Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Pellet Therapy (BHRT) for both men and women. As a board-certified OB/GYN with over 30 years of experience serving the Northshore, Dr. Steen provides personalized, science-based hormone optimization in a supportive and confidential environment. She understands how hormonal imbalances can affect energy, mood, vitality, and overall quality of life — and she is committed to helping patients feel their best at every stage.

Bioidentical hormone pellets are small, custom-compounded cylinders (about the size of a grain of rice) containing hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body. Inserted just under the skin, they deliver a steady, consistent release of hormones 24/7, avoiding the fluctuations common with creams, pills, patches, or injections.

Common Symptoms That May Benefit from Pellet Therapy

For Women:

  • Hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings
  • Fatigue, low energy, and sleep disturbances
  • Decreased libido, vaginal dryness, and discomfort
  • Brain fog, anxiety, or irritability
  • Weight gain and loss of muscle tone
  • Perimenopause and menopause symptoms

For Men:

  • Fatigue, low energy, and decreased stamina
  • Reduced libido and erectile dysfunction
  • Loss of muscle mass and strength
  • Increased body fat, especially around the abdomen
  • Mood changes, irritability, or depression
  • Difficulty concentrating or “brain fog”
  • Symptoms associated with andropause (low testosterone)
