Menopause marks the permanent end of menstruation and fertility, typically occurring in your late 40s or early 50s. It is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period and is caused by a natural decline in reproductive hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.
While menopause is a normal biological process, it can bring on a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including:
Our team of menopause specialists is here to help you manage these symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
At PVHC, we offer a variety of treatment options to help you manage menopause symptoms effectively:
Healthy lifestyle choices, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco products, can reduce the severity and frequency of symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats.
Some women may benefit from herbal remedies like black cohosh, soy products, flaxseed, and vitamin E. However, these supplements can interact with medications or cause side effects, so it’s essential to consult with your PVHC physician before starting any regimen.
SSRIs are a class of drugs typically used as antidepressants to treat major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and other psychological conditions. However, low doses of certain SSRIs may also relieve menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and skin flushing.
If none of the therapies mentioned above alleviate your most uncomfortable symptoms of menopause, we may prescribe hormone replacement therapy (HRT). For women who qualify, HRT can be a highly effective way to manage severe menopause symptoms. Depending on your health history, medication may be prescribed as creams, gels, patches, or pills.
We take a personalized approach to menopause care, offering:
Every woman experiences menopause differently, and we believe your care should reflect that.
Our customized treatment plans begin with an in-depth evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. Based on this assessment, we create a tailored approach to help you manage your symptoms effectively.
Whether it’s addressing hot flashes, sleep disturbances, or mood changes, our personalized plans ensure that your treatment aligns with your unique needs and goals for optimal health.
HRT can be a highly effective option for managing severe menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and osteoporosis.
At PVHC, we offer a range of HRT options, including creams, gels, patches, and pills, designed to replenish the estrogen and progesterone your body no longer produces.
Our specialists carefully evaluate your health history to determine if HRT is safe for you, providing guidance and monitoring throughout your treatment.
For women who cannot or prefer not to undergo HRT, we provide effective non-hormonal treatment options. These include medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors that help reduce mental health symptoms like mood swings, anxiety, and depression, along with physical symptoms like hot flashes or night sweats. In addition, we offer strategies such as mindfulness practices, stress management techniques, and alternative therapies that can help improve your quality of life without hormonal interventions.
A healthy lifestyle can make a significant difference in managing menopause symptoms.
At PVHC, we focus on holistic wellness strategies. We encourage regular exercise, stress management, and smoking cessation to reduce hot flashes and improve overall well-being.
We also provide support for sleep hygiene and mindfulness practices to address insomnia and anxiety, helping you achieve better balance during this transitional phase.
Good nutrition is vital in managing menopause symptoms and maintaining long-term health.
Our specialists offer personalized dietary advice to help you support bone density, balance hormones naturally, and manage weight. We guide you in incorporating nutrient-rich foods like calcium, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids into your diet and suggest supplements where necessary.
With the right nutritional strategies, you can reduce the risk of osteoporosis and feel your best throughout menopause.
At PVHC, we are committed to helping you feel your best during this life stage. Our menopause specialists provide the following:
Women in menopause may experience hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, vaginal dryness, and bone density loss.
