If these or other symptoms bother you, you don’t have to live with them. Rely on the experts at Modern OBGYN Care for relief.
Many menopause symptoms are linked with hormonal changes that occur in your 40s and 50s, which is why hormone replacement therapy is often a highly effective treatment. Low estrogen and progesterone levels are common causes of hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and other debilitating symptoms.
To find out if you’re a candidate for hormone replacement therapy, your provider discusses your symptoms and medical history. They complete a physical exam, including a pelvic exam if needed, and recommend blood tests to assess your hormone levels. Your specialist also asks questions about your lifestyle and preferences before personalizing a treatment plan.
What you can expect during treatment for menopause symptoms depends on the type of hormone therapy you choose. Hormone treatment is available in the following forms:
Your specialist can implant a hormone pellet underneath your skin to release a steady stream of hormones into your blood over time.
Healthy lifestyle habits can also alleviate unpleasant symptoms associated with menopause. Eat nutritious foods, get regular exercise and plenty of sleep, and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol intake. You should also try to keep your stress levels as low as possible.
