How Comfortable is Testosterone Pellet Therapy?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort with pellet insertion. The entire process is generally considered quick and tolerable. The procedure typically takes less than 20 minutes. Testosterone pellets are tiny — approximately the size of a grain of rice. The treatment site is cleaned and numbed, then the pellet is inserted through a very small incision and the site is covered with a bandage.

Does Male Testosterone Therapy Require Any Aftercare?

Some people experience mild tenderness and bruising for a few days after insertion. We may ask you to leave the original bandage on and keep the area dry for the first 24 hours. After that, you can shower as usual and change the bandage as needed over the next few days. Avoid baths, pools, and hot tubs for at least three days and refrain from strenuous exercise for approximately one week after insertion. After that, you can resume all normal activities.

If you are taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or any other blood thinner, we recommend you stop taking it two weeks before pellet insertion.
