Hormone Therapy for Treating Peri- and Menopause

As you reach menopause, your body’s production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone declines, often leading to uncomfortable symptoms that can impact your quality of life. Many women experience hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, brain fog, and mood swings during perimenopause and menopause.

Hormone replacement therapy can be a highly effective way to alleviate these symptoms and support overall well-being during this transition. Additionally, replenishing the female hormones your body no longer produces can provide crucial protection against osteoporosis, which commonly develops in a woman’s 40s and 50s.

Symptoms of Peri- and Menopause include:

  • Anxiety
  • Brain fog
  • Depression
  • Headaches/migraines
  • Fatigue
  • Heart palpitations
  • Hot flashes
  • Night sweats
  • Incontinence
  • Dry eye
  • Itchy skin
  • Irritability
  • Joint pain
  • Low libido
  • Painful sex
  • Weight gain
  • Period changes
  • Skin/hair/nail changes
  • Sleep issues
  • UTIs
