Menopause Care

Understanding Menopause & Perimenopause Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, marking the end of her reproductive years. It typically occurs in your late 40s or early 50s. Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause, characterized by changes in hormone levels. Both stages can bring a variety of symptoms that affect your quality of life, but with the right care, you can continue feeling your best.

Signs & Symptoms of Menopause and Perimenopause

Menopause and perimenopause can present with a wide range of symptoms, including:

Hot Flashes & Night Sweats sudden feelings of warmth, often intense and uncomfortable, that can disrupt your daily life and sleep.
Trouble Sleeping Insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns that leave you feeling exhausted.
Painful Sex & Vaginal Dryness Changes in vaginal health that can make intercourse uncomfortable or decrease libido.
Weight & Body Changes Unexplained weight gain, particularly around the abdomen, and changes in body composition.
Brain Fog & Memory Lapses Difficulty concentrating or remembering things, often referred to as "menopause brain."
Moodiness, Anxiety & Depression Emotional ups and downs, including feelings of sadness, irritability, or anxiety.
Common Signs of Aging from Hormone Decline Fatigue, weight gain, joint pain, and loss of libido can also be linked to declining hormone levels.

What We Treat

We offer comprehensive care to address the following menopause and perimenopause-related conditions:

Treatment Options

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) Through the use of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), we optimize hormone levels for each individual to help you regain balance and feel your best. BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to those your body produces naturally, providing a more natural and effective approach to hormone replacement.

Estrogen Therapy

Estrogen therapy is the most effective treatment for relieving menopausal hot flashes and night sweats. It also helps prevent bone loss and can improve mood and energy levels.

Progesterone Therapy

For women who still have their uterus, progesterone is prescribed along with estrogen to prevent the increased risk of endometrial cancer that estrogen therapy alone can cause. Progesterone can also help improve sleep and mood.

Frequently Asked Questions About BHRT

What is BHRT?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment that uses hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the hormones your body naturally produces. It’s used to treat symptoms of hormone imbalance or deficiency.

Is BHRT safe?

BHRT is considered safe for many women, especially when tailored to individual needs and monitored by a healthcare provider. However, it’s essential to discuss your personal health history with your provider.

Will BHRT help with aging symptoms? 

Yes, BHRT can help reduce symptoms related to aging, such as fatigue, weight gain, joint pain, and loss of libido, by optimizing hormone levels.

How is BHRT different from traditional HRT?

Unlike traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that uses synthetic hormones, BHRT uses hormones that match your body’s natural hormones. This can result in fewer side effects and more effective symptom relief.

How long will I need to be on BHRT?

The duration of BHRT varies depending on your symptoms and how well you respond to treatment. Some women may need it for a few years, while others may benefit from longer-term use.

How do I know if I'm a candidate for BHRT?

A thorough evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and hormone levels will help determine if BHRT is right for you. We provide personalized treatment plans to ensure you receive the care that best meets your needs.
