Menopause is a natural transition that typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, marking the end of a woman's reproductive years. It is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Menopause occurs when the ovaries stop producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone, causing changes throughout the body.
Many women experience bothersome signs and symptoms during menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, difficulty sleeping, irritability, and panic attacks. Decreased estrogen levels are also associated with conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease when left untreated in the long-term. Lifestyle strategies can help alleviate symptoms, but the most effective treatment is hormone therapy.
Hormone therapy (HT) replenishes estrogen and progesterone to reverse deficiency. It is highly effective at treating hot flashes and night sweats. HT also helps prevent bone loss and fracture risk associated with osteoporosis. At Vitality Hormone Clinic, our experts design customized treatment plans based on each woman's needs and health history. We provide both systemic and localized options.
Our clinic's menopause specialists tailor treatment protocols after thoroughly evaluating hormone levels and assessing risk factors. We collaborate closely with each patient to adjust dosages and medications based on treatment response. Most women notice significant symptom relief within a few weeks of starting therapy. We also provide recommendations for lifestyle changes and integrative therapies that complement hormone therapy.
