Menopause

What is menopause?

Menopause marks the end of your reproductive years. It’s a time in your life when your ovaries gradually reduce estrogen and progesterone hormone production and your monthly menstrual periods stop.

Your doctor may confirm menopause if you’ve gone at least 12 consecutive months without a period. Usually, this occurs right around age 52.

But perimenopause, the years leading up to menopause, can occur anytime in your late 30s or throughout your 40s. During this time, you’re likely going to start experiencing menopause-related symptoms.

Do I need treatment for menopause?

Yes! Even if your menopause symptoms don’t seem too troublesome now, they can worsen over time. Plus, the drop in hormones affects your activity and future health.

The expert urogynecologists at The Woman’s Center encourage you to come in for an evaluation if you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms:

Disinterest in sex (low libido)
Pain during intercourse
Urinary incontinence
Difficulty sleeping
Vaginal dryness
Mood swings
Weight gain
Hot flashes
Irritability

These symptoms can affect your daily life, work, and even personal relationships. But don’t worry; the compassionate team at The Woman’s Center can help, so you can restore your quality of life.

How is menopause treated?

Your menopause treatment plan is entirely tailored to you, your lifestyle, and the severity of your symptoms. The Woman’s Center provides personalized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) treatment plans. Depending on your treatment plan, these formularies can come in:

Vaginal suppositories
Oral medications
Topical creams
Patches

The urogynecology team at The Woman’s Center can even perform minimally invasive procedures to implant pelvic slings for urinary incontinence, make repairs to reestablish vaginal support, and more.

Rest assured, you can experience relief from unbearable menopause-related symptoms once you get started on treatment.
