Menopause is a natural transition that occurs when a woman's ovaries stop producing as much estrogen and progesterone. The average age for menopause is 51, but it can happen earlier or later. Menopause brings physical and emotional changes that can significantly impact quality of life.
Common menopause symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, difficulty sleeping, mood changes, and thinning hair. Some women also experience weight gain, fatigue, joint pain, anxiety, depression, and urinary issues during menopause. These symptoms vary in type and severity between women.
There are increased health risks after menopause, including osteoporosis, heart disease, and neurological conditions. Estrogen plays a protective role in bone and heart health. Without sufficient estrogen levels, women become more vulnerable to these age-related diseases.
Hormone therapy can provide relief for menopause symptoms when tailored appropriately to each woman's needs and health profile. Benefits include:

Our beautiful clinic provides a peaceful atmosphere for women to receive compassionate menopause care. We offer extended hours and strive to eliminate obstacles to timely treatment.
It's important for women to seek medical care at the first signs of menopause instead of waiting years to address disruptive symptoms. Reasons to pursue early treatment include:
Even if symptoms seem manageable at first, they tend to become more severe over time. We encourage women not to suffer through menopause alone but rather enlist our support.
Many women are unaware that certain lifestyle changes can ease menopausal symptoms without medication. Simple steps like avoiding triggers like stress and spicy foods, dressing in layers, engaging in relaxing activities, and maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine can make a significant difference during this transition.
