Understanding Menopause and Its Symptoms

Menopause signals a natural transition in a woman's life, marking the end of fertility. The average age for menopause is 51, but it can occur from 40s to 50s. As estrogen levels decline during perimenopause and after menopause, women may experience symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, trouble sleeping, and more.

Hot Flashes and Night Sweats

Hot flashes and night sweats are common menopause symptoms. Hot flashes cause sweating and reddening of the face and upper body, lasting from 30 seconds up to 10 minutes. Night sweats occur during sleep. These symptoms can disrupt sleep and daily activities. Hormone therapy can provide relief.

Vaginal Dryness and Discomfort

Declining estrogen thins vaginal tissues, causing vaginal atrophy symptoms like dryness, irritation, burning, and painful intercourse. Localized estrogen treatments can help restore tissues and moisture. Maintaining an active sex life also helps keep tissues healthy.

Mood Changes and Sleep Disruption

Hormone fluctuations during menopause can trigger mood swings, anxiety, irritability, and depression. Hot flashes and night sweats also interrupt sleep. Hormone therapy helps stabilize moods and allows better sleep. Exercise, meditation, and socializing also help.

Other Common Symptoms

Other menopause symptoms include fatigue, memory lapses, weight gain, headaches, and urinary issues. Every woman experiences menopause differently - treatment should target individual symptoms. Lifestyle changes like better diet, more activity, and stress reduction also help manage symptoms.

Diagnosing Menopause with Testing

Since menopause symptoms mimic other conditions, testing helps diagnose menopause and identify any risks requiring treatment. Our clinic offers comprehensive menopause lab testing for accurate diagnosis and personalized care.

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test

This blood test measures FSH levels. FSH tells the ovaries to prepare eggs. High FSH indicates menopause as ovaries stop producing estrogen. Annual FSH testing helps diagnose menopause timing.

Estradiol Test

This blood test measures estradiol, the dominant estrogen in women. Low levels confirm menopause. Testing estradiol along with FSH provides the best diagnostic accuracy.

Menopause Hormone Therapy from Renew Hormone Clinic

Renew Hormone Clinic specializes in menopause treatment using cutting-edge hormone therapies to relieve symptoms and reduce long-term health risks. Our customized programs deliver excellent results.

Types of Therapies

Systemic estrogen therapy (pills, patches) remains highly effective for hot flash relief. Localized vaginal estrogen creams treat vaginal dryness and discomfort. We tailor combinations to your needs and health status.

Testosterone therapy treats low desire. Bioidentical compounded hormones closely match your body's natural hormones for fewer risks. We also offer PRP therapy using your plasma to stimulate ovaries.

Determining Treatment Approach

We personalize care based on symptoms, medical history, risks, lifestyle, preferences, and test results. FSH, estradiol, and risk factor testing guides treatment plans. Follow-ups assess progress.

Age and time since menopause determine systemic therapy duration. Newer lower-dose options expand usage for more women. Localized treatments can continue long-term. We collaborate with your healthcare team for complementary care.

Lifestyle and Wellness Recommendations

We provide tailored practical recommendations to help manage symptoms, such as lowering stress, adequate sleep, regular activity, healthy eating, intimacy maintenance, and more. Integrating wellness boosts hormone therapy benefits.

Importance of Timely Menopause Care

Getting tested and treated at the first signs of menopause offers significant benefits now and for your future health. We educate women on key reasons to prioritize care.

More Effective Symptom Relief

Intervening early provides the best chance of responding well to therapy for symptom relief. Delaying treatment allows symptoms to worsen, with severe hot flashes causing long-term nerve changes and discomfort continuing.

Reducing Long-Term Health Risks

Estrogen loss from menopause accelerates bone loss and increases cardiovascular disease risk. Early treatment preserves bone density and reduces likelihood of osteoporosis fractures later on. It also lowers cardiac risks.

Improving Overall Wellbeing

Relieving difficult menopausal symptoms helps women feel like themselves again. Restored sleep, stabilized moods, and reduced discomfort enables better quality of life. Prioritizing treatment optimizes health and wellbeing during this transition.
