Menopause Management

As women age, the hormone levels of estrogen and progesterone drop, and this causes a natural and gradual transition into menopause. For most women, the symptoms of menopause, or perimenopause, begin in their late 40s. Women are considered menopausal when they have had no periods for over one year. Due to the fluctuation of hormones, some women will experience symptoms like:

  • Hot flashes
  • Changes in menstrual cycle
  • Mood swings
  • Insomnia
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Bone loss
  • Vaginal dryness

All women experience menopause differently, therefore the treatment of menopause is highly individual to each woman’s experience. Some women can manage the symptoms of menopause without treatment, while others may benefit from moderate lifestyle changes that can help alleviate the more bothersome symptoms. 

How Will I Know if I am in Perimenopause?

Salivary hormone testing can be used to confirm the fluctuation of hormones as well as assess your hormone balancing requirements. Based on the results of your salivary testing, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is considered a safe option to relieve symptoms of menopause, and restore and renew the way you feel and function.   

At your annual wellness exam, Dr. Aslanis will discuss your medical history and current symptoms to help determine if you are entering into perimenopause. The risk of certain diseases such as osteoporosis, heart disease and cancer tend to increase after menopause, therefore it is important to keep your annual exam so you can discuss any changes in your health.
