What is Menopause?
Menopause is diagnosed after you've gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Most women experience menopause between the ages of 45 and 55, although symptoms may begin years earlier during perimenopause. Changes occur as the body's production of estrogen and progesterone naturally declines.
Every woman experiences menopause differently. Common symptoms may include:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Irregular periods
- Sleep disturbances
- Mood changes, anxiety or irritability
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Pain during intimacy
- Decreased libido
- Weight gain or changes in metabolism
- Joint aches and muscle pain
- Fatigue
- Urinary urgency or recurrent urinary tract infections
If these symptoms interfere with your quality of life, effective treatments are available.
Personalized Menopause Management
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to menopause care. Your provider will work with you to develop a treatment plan based on your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and personal preferences.
Treatment options may include:
Lifestyle & Wellness
- Nutrition counseling
- Exercise recommendations
- Weight management
- Stress reduction
- Sleep improvement strategies
Hormone Therapy
For many women, hormone therapy can safely and effectively relieve symptoms. Your physician will discuss whether hormone therapy is appropriate for you.
Non-Hormonal Treatments
Several prescription and non-prescription options are available for women who cannot or choose not to use hormone therapy.
Sexual & Vaginal Health
Treatments are available to improve vaginal dryness, discomfort, urinary symptoms, and intimacy concerns.
Bone Health
We help identify osteoporosis risk and recommend preventive care to maintain strong, healthy bones.
Why Menopause Care Matters
Declining hormone levels can increase the risk of:
- Osteoporosis and bone loss
- Heart disease
- High cholesterol
- Weight gain
- Diabetes
- Pelvic floor disorders

Routine medical care during menopause helps protect your long-term health while addressing symptoms that impact your daily life.
