Menopause is a natural transition that all women experience as they age. The term refers to when a woman stops having her monthly period permanently. It signals the end of a woman's reproductive years.
On average, most women reach menopause around the age of 51. However, it can occur earlier or later for some women. The years leading up to menopause are called perimenopause. This is when hormone levels start to fluctuate and decline.
Perimenopause symptoms are caused by these changing hormone levels. They can last for several years. Some common symptoms include hot flashes, trouble sleeping, vaginal dryness, mood changes, and irregular periods.
After menopause, women are no longer able to get pregnant. But there are still health risks to be aware of. Lower estrogen levels after menopause raise a woman's risk for certain medical issues like osteoporosis and heart disease.
That's why it's so important to get the right care and treatment during this transition. The experts at Renew Medical HRT Clinic specialize in helping women navigate menopause comfortably.
The first step is getting an accurate menopause diagnosis. This will help create the most effective treatment plan.
Doctors can run blood tests to check follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen levels. Elevated FSH in combination with low estrogen levels indicates that ovarian function has declined.
However, blood tests aren’t always definitive. Some women may still have regular or irregular periods during perimenopause. So doctors also consider reported symptoms and menstrual history.
At Renew Medical HRT Clinic, our menopause experts take the time to thoroughly evaluate each woman’s unique situation. This ensures an accurate diagnosis and personalized care.
Once diagnosed, the next step is exploring treatment options to relieve symptoms and reduce long-term health risks.
There are a range of medical and lifestyle therapies available:
Hormone therapy (HT) - replaces depleted hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. It's the most effective treatment for menopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes. HT also helps prevent bone loss and fractures.
At Renew Medical HRT Clinic, HT treatments are customized based on each woman's needs and health history. We provide high quality bioidentical hormones which precisely match the body’s natural hormones. This results in optimal symptom relief with minimal side effects.
We offer convenient oral tablets, creams, gels, patches, pellets, and injections. Patients are closely monitored to achieve the right hormone balance unique to them.
Our doctors specializing in menopause have over 15 years expertise in hormone therapy.
Making certain lifestyle adjustments can also help ease menopausal symptoms:
Incorporating healthy lifestyle habits improves a woman’s overall quality of life during menopause and beyond.
At Renew Medical HRT Clinic, our menopause doctors provide comprehensive lifestyle guidance to complement hormone therapy. We help each patient create a custom self-care plan.
It’s crucial for women to seek medical care as soon they start experiencing perimenopause/menopause symptoms. Getting treatment quickly provides the greatest benefits.
Delaying treatment allows symptoms to linger and get worse over time. Hot flashes and sleep disruption greatly impact daily function and quality of life. Vaginal dryness and painful intercourse strain intimate relationships. Mood swings can negatively affect work performance, friendships, and family dynamics.
Putting off treatment also allows bone loss to progress further. This significantly increases the chance of osteoporosis, fractures, and disability later on. Heart disease risk also continues to rise.
At Renew Medical HRT Clinic, we make sure women get the care they need right away. Our menopause clinics offer prompt appointments and personalized treatment plans.
Studies show that practicing yoga can help reduce many problematic menopause symptoms. Specific poses that twist, stretch and invert the body may help regulate hormones, improve circulation, reduce stress, and ease hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety and joint pain. Yoga provides a drug-free way to find relief during this transition.
