● Cleansing: The area will be cleansed with a sterile solution to minimize the risk of infection.

● Anesthesia: A local anesthetic (lidocaine) will be administered to numb the insertion site, ensuring comfort during the procedure.

● Insertion: A small incision (approximately ¼ inch) will be made, and the pellet will be inserted using a trocar (a hollow needle). This method allows for a steady release of hormones over time.

● Post-Procedure Care: The insertion site will be covered with a sterile bandage after the procedure to protect it during the healing process.
