Menopause is a natural transition that all women go through, marking the end of menstrual cycles and fertility. The average age for menopause is 51, but it can occur anytime between the ages of 45-55.

The hormone changes of menopause also lead to an increased risk of certain health conditions if left untreated, including:

Proper treatment can help mitigate these long-term health risks substantially.

Perimenopause refers to the transitional stage leading up to menopause when hormone levels begin to fluctuate but menstrual cycles are still occurring. This stage can last for months or even years, and is associated with more severe symptoms. Getting treatment during perimenopause is key to ease this transition.

Treatment Options Overview

There are a variety of safe and effective evidence-based treatment options for managing bothersome symptoms and health risks related to menopause and hormone changes in middle-aged women.

Hormone Therapy

HRT (hormone replacement therapy) involves taking supplements of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone that become deficient leading up to and during menopause. At Vitality Wellness Clinic, we develop fully customized HRT regimens catered to your unique hormonal profile, risk factors, preferences, and treatment goals.

Lifestyle Changes

Certain lifestyle changes like staying active, eating a balanced diet, practicing stress management, and optimizing sleep habits can provide additional relief for menopause symptoms. We provide thorough lifestyle optimization counseling as a core component of your treatment plan.

Alternative Therapies

Some women may prefer to try alternative therapies like herbal supplements, acupuncture, meditation, or cognitive behavioral therapy to assist with hot flashes, mood changes, sleep difficulties, and other bothersome menopause concerns. We can advise you on evidence-based alternative options that may complement your treatment plan.
