Menopause is a natural stage that occurs within a woman’s lifetime, and though it may present some uncomfortable symptoms, it can be easily managed. This condition occurs when a woman’s body begins to decrease its production of estrogen and progesterone. A woman is considered to have reached menopause when she has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months, though she may experience symptoms in the time leading up to this stage, which is known as “peri-menopause.” Women can experience peri-menopause for anywhere from 2 to 8 years, with menopause usually occurring around the age of 50, though it can occur at a younger or older age.
Common symptoms of peri-menopause and menopause include:
- Night sweats
- Hot flashes
- Insomnia
- Irregular periods
- Abnormally heavy periods
- Vaginal dryness
- Pain during intercourse
- Thinning hair
- Growth of facial hair
- Decline in sexual desire
- Urinary incontinence
Many women do not require treatment of peri-menopause and menopause symptoms, however, our healthcare team can provide treatments that make the symptoms more bearable. Most patients can effectively treat their symptoms with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and treatments can also be provided to help with specific symptoms such as insomnia, vaginal dryness, irritability, and mood swings.
