Pellet extrusion

I started testosterone pellets a year ago and just had my 3rd implant a month ago. Up until now thought they worked great but only last me 4-5 months. This last time i had a pellet extrude a month later then got infected. Doctor put me on antibiotics. My question is should I some recourse to get new pellets re inserted or a refund? The doctor doesn’t mention it or offer it.
 
Pellets don't work. They're good money for the doctors but work poorly for the patients. If it was me I would slowly transfer to injections. It's so much easy to control your levels and to make the necessary adjustments when you do injections.
 
I agree . The pellets are my first experience adding testosterone. It is expensive and the doctor insists this is only way to get constant levels vs injections are a roller coaster. I need to decide how to make the transition. Thanks

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
