Testosterone pellet insertion for hormone therapy is a short in-office procedure.


Testosterone pellets are small three millimeters by nine-millimeter pellets and they contain crystalline testosterone. They are implanted under the skin and into the fat. Where they slowly release testosterone over the course of the next three to six months.

A short, simple procedure is performed in the Z Urology office to implant the pellets under the skin, usually near your hip. These pellets are a long-acting form of testosterone therapy. They should deliver a stable, steady dose of testosterone, typically providing the needed level of hormone for at least four months.


Implantation of the testosterone pellets:

Implantation is a simple procedure that typically takes only 10 minutes or less. In this case, under the expert care of Dr. Z, it only took three short minutes.

The skin of the upper hip or buttocks is thoroughly cleaned, then injected with a local anesthetic to reduce discomfort. A small incision is made. Tiny testosterone pellets are placed under the skin with an instrument called a trocar. Typically, 10 to 12 pellets are implanted during the procedure. The effects generally last around 4 months after which time the procedure will need to be repeated.
