Menopause is a natural transition in a woman's life when her periods stop permanently and she can no longer get pregnant naturally. The years leading up to menopause are called perimenopause. During this time, hormone levels become irregular and start to decline until menstruation finally stops.
Key signs of perimenopause and menopause include:
The average age for menopause is 51, but it can happen anytime between the ages of 40 and 55. Every woman's experience is different. Understanding the changes ahead of time and getting the right treatment can help you manage symptoms and stay healthy during this transition.
The main goals of menopause treatment are to:
Hormone therapy, also called menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) or hormone replacement therapy (HRT), is the most effective treatment for menopause symptoms. The experts at Balance & Renew Clinic offer customized plans to help women find relief.
Hormone therapy replaces hormones that decline during perimenopause and menopause. The most common types are:
The safest duration for hormone therapy is 4-5 years. But each woman is different, so treatment plans must be customized based on her health profile and needs.
The menopause experts at Balance & Renew Clinic specialize in creating individualized hormone therapy regimens to give women the best results.
Fluctuating and declining hormones during perimenopause and menopause affect every aspect of a woman's health. Let's examine key areas more closely.
Hot flashes - The most common menopause symptom. Sudden sensations of intense heat in the upper body caused by blood vessel dilation. Night sweats often accompany hot flashes.
Vaginal and urinary issues - Low estrogen causes vaginal lining to thin (atrophy). This leads to irritation, dryness, pain, more UTIs, and light bladder leakage.
Bone loss risk - Estrogen helps calcium absorb into bones. So low estrogen increases the rate of bone thinning leading to osteoporosis over time.
Heart issues - Lower estrogen is associated with high blood pressure and higher cholesterol increasing chance of heart disease in later years.
Key takeaway - Properly treating menopausal symptoms can help minimize long term health risks! The experts at Balance & Renew Clinic create customized treatment plans to address each woman's unique health needs.
Mood changes - Hormone fluctuations often cause increased anxiety, sadness, irritability, trouble focusing, memory issues and trouble sleeping for many women.
Self-confidence - Menopausal body changes like weight gain plus sexual health issues can hurt self-image and self-worth.
Key takeaway - In addition to physical symptoms, Balance & Renew Clinic also provides emotional health support to help women navigate menopause confidently. Customized care plans consider both physical AND emotional wellbeing.
Libido - Declining estrogen and testosterone levels frequently lead to decreased sex drive in women.
Vaginal dryness & pain - Thinning vaginal tissue becomes easily irritated making intercourse painful without lubrication.
Arousal issues - Hormone issues also inhibit blood flow needed for arousal response including clitoral engorgement and vaginal expansion during sex.
Key takeaway – Low hormones seriously disrupt female sexual satisfaction and pleasure. The holistic menopause doctors at Balance & Renew Clinic offer multi-faceted treatment plans that include hormone optimization, sex therapy resources, and compound creams to rejuvenate vaginal tissue and eliminate dryness. This brings natural desire and comfort back to a women’s sex life.
