Menopause is a natural transition that all women go through, marking the end of menstrual cycles. The years leading up to menopause are called perimenopause, when hormone levels become irregular. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, trouble sleeping, and more.
While menopause is a normal part of aging, it can significantly impact one's quality of life. Proper treatment and management of symptoms is important. Vital Hormones Clinic specializes in individualized care plans to help women through menopause comfortably.
The first step is getting blood tests to check follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol, and testosterone levels. Thyroid function should also be evaluated. Our menopause specialists analyze hormone test results to determine if/where imbalances exist.
We also review lifestyle, diet, stress levels and medical history as these can affect hormonal changes. Ongoing testing allows us to track progress and adjust treatment accordingly. Early diagnosis leads to better outcomes.
Hormone therapy (HT) replenishes estrogen, progesterone and/or testosterone to alleviate unpleasant symptoms. Benefits include:
Vital Hormones Clinic creates customized HT plans using bioidentical hormones to match what the body makes naturally. Treatment is available as pills, patches, gels and pellets. Our menopause experts determine the best delivery method for each woman.
Healthy lifestyle choices also minimize menopause difficulties:
Making these changes eases the transition and enhances wellbeing. Our menopausal specialists provide diet/fitness guidance and refer patients to mental health professionals when needed.
