Menopause Treatment: Hormones or not?

     Menopause is defined as one year without a period, without surgery to remove your uterus.

     The symptoms can start 10 years before, and last for 10 years after!
It’s a normal part of every woman’s life and a different experience for every woman.

     Some women breeze through without a thought or hesitation. Others spend night after night unable to sleep with hot flashes & headaches; others describe bloating, weight gain, mood swings, irregular periods, dry skin and decreased libido.

    The herbs and prescriptions that work for your neighbor probably won’t help you at all. There isn’t a magic potion for everyone but there is a solution that is specific to you!

  After taking a thorough history and physical, and a Pap if you are due, decisions will be made for blood work and other tests. This appointment could take one hour. This time is devoted completely to you and your concerns.

     After all of this information is gathered, a plan will be made with you for life style changes, natural hormonal interventions, including herbs and bioidentical hormones, if appropriate.
