Did you know we offer menopause and hormone therapy? Check it out!
"Menopause is the time of a woman’s life when she no longer has hormone production from her ovaries. The three main hormones produced by the ovaries are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. A woman may enter menopause naturally, and this occurs near age 50 in most women, but it can occur at any time after 40. Hormonal fluctuations that can affect how a woman feels from day to day begin in perimenopause, which can begin up to 10 years before menopause. A woman is considered fully menopausal when she has not had a period for a full 12 months. Surgery to remove the ovaries can lead to an abrupt surgical menopause as well. The common symptoms of menopause are caused by low or absent hormone levels. These symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, insomnia, low libido, anxiety, mood swings, vaginal dryness, mental fogginess, bone loss, weight gain, and skin and hair changes. They can be successfully treated with hormone replacement using traditional pharmaceuticals such as estradiol (estrogen) gels or patches and oral progesterone capsules. Bioidentical hormone creams or pellets are also available to add back all of the missing hormones, including testosterone, which often leads to better mood, better sleep, mental clarity, improved libido, and more energy."
