Menopause is an inevitable stage in every woman’s life, marking the end of menstrual cycles and reproductive ability. It’s officially diagnosed when you have gone a full 12 months without a period, typically occurring between ages 45-55. The average age in the United States is 52. The years leading up to this are known as perimenopause. Perimenopause can start several years earlier and bring hormonal fluctuations that cause noticeable changes in your body and well-being.
HRT can be a safe and effective way to reduce or eliminate many of these symptoms. This treatment replaces the hormones your body no longer produces in adequate amounts.
HRT can be delivered in several forms and at Grace Gynecology we are happy to offer an array of options to women ensuring that we can come up with a treatment plan that will work for every woman. Some examples of ways to take hormones include pills, skin patches, gels, creams, or vaginal applications. We also offer bioidentical pellet therapy. The choices depends on your symptoms, health history, and preferences. For many women, a personalized hormone plan can significantly improve quality of life during and after menopause.
We understand that every woman’s experience is unique. Our providers take the time to listen to your symptoms, review your medical history, and discuss all available options – both hormonal and non-hormonal. Together, we’ll create a plan that supports your long-term health and helps you fell like yourself again.
