Menopause Treatments

ABOUT MENOPAUSE

Menopause is a term used to describe the period in a woman’s life when she stops menstruating. Menopause is usually identified after an individual has gone a full year without having a period. While it typically develops around the age of 50 for many women, it can happen at nearly any age. Menopause can’t be delayed or stopped, and it often causes many difficult symptoms for patients. At Your Family Medical Clinic, our skilled providers take special care when it comes to women’s health and work with each patient to help manage or reduce menopause symptoms. If you think you may be entering menopause or haven’t had a period in a while, contact our team to take early measures and control your symptoms.

SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS

There are many symptoms women can experience during menopause, including:

• Differences in mental health (such as depression or mood swings)
• Gaining weight
• Dry skin
• Trouble sleeping
• Hot flashes and/or chills
• Sagging breasts
• Vaginal dryness
• Thinning hair
• Lowered sex drive

Once symptoms start to manifest, receiving treatment to manage or reduce them can be crucial for your overall well-being and quality of life. At Your Family Medical Clinic, our team offers hormone replacement therapy to supplement your changing hormones and regulate them. However, we also offer non-hormonal options for our patients.

Thankfully, our team at Your Family Medical Clinic can offer treatments to help regulate your changing hormones and improve your quality of life.
