The transition into menopause is a natural part of aging for women. As the ovaries stop producing eggs and estrogen production declines, women experience changes that can significantly impact quality of life. Menopause, defined as 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, typically occurs between the ages of 45-55. The years leading up to menopause are called perimenopause, and this time is often associated with irregular periods, hot flashes, mood changes, sleep difficulties, and vaginal dryness.
While menopause is inevitable, women do not have to suffer through debilitating symptoms. Through hormone therapy and lifestyle changes, the compassionate and knowledgeable staff at Revive Hormone Clinic can help women navigate menopause gracefully. We provide customized treatment plans to relieve symptoms and help patients embrace this new phase of life.
The declining estrogen levels associated with perimenopause and menopause can result in a variety of symptoms. These include:
Women experiencing moderate to severe menopause symptoms often benefit from hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to replenish estrogen, progesterone, and/or testosterone. When prescribed at appropriate doses, research shows hormone therapy effectively:
In addition to symptom relief, starting HRT early in the menopausal transition carries protective health benefits. Estrogen therapy initiated before the body adjusts to lower hormone levels can reduce the rate of bone loss and lower risks of heart disease. HRT also decreases chances of developing type 2 diabetes, colorectal cancer, and tooth/gum disease.
Hormone therapy options fall into two main categories:
Research suggests bioidentical hormones effectively relieve menopause symptoms while carrying a lower risk profile than synthetics. The natural plant-based hormones molecularly match those produced by the body, allowing optimal activation of necessary receptors. Many women report fewer side effects from bioidentical preparations.
Revive Hormone Clinic specializes in balanced bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) tailored to each woman’s unique needs. Our board-certified practitioners have advanced training in BHRT protocols using FDA-approved hormones derived from soybeans and wild yams. We carefully monitor progress through follow-up appointments and blood tests when necessary. Most women quickly report feeling like themselves again thanks to our customized therapies.
Many women going through menopause find that simple lifestyle changes can make a big difference in managing symptoms. Getting enough sleep, staying physically active, limiting alcohol and caffeine, and trying relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation can help with hot flashes, mood swings, and trouble sleeping without necessarily needing medication.
Identifying hormone deficiencies and excess through testing ensures appropriate treatment. Common assessments include:
Check levels of key hormones:
Detect bioavailable hormones not bound to proteins in the bloodstream. Help determine daily patterns and ratios between different estrogens and progesterone.
