Menopause is a natural transition that all women go through as they age. The menopause experts at Vital Hormones Clinic in Paterson understand this complex process and provide customized menopause treatment plans to help women through the changes.
During perimenopause and menopause, levels of key hormones like estrogen and progesterone decline. This often leads to uncomfortable symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, difficulty sleeping, mood changes, and more. The goal of treatment is to minimize these symptoms so women can continue living life to the fullest.
At Vital Hormones Clinic, we offer both pharmaceutical and holistic menopause therapies. Treatment always begins with a blood test to analyze current hormone levels. From there, we can create a personalized plan that may include:
Menopause symptoms vary widely from woman to woman. Changes usually begin during perimenopause, which can start several years before menstruation actually stops. Knowing what to look out for can prompt women to seek proper menopause treatment.
These early symptoms are usually manageable with lifestyle adjustments and low dose estrogen or progesterone therapy.
As hormone levels continue to decline, symptoms may worsen. These include:
Prompt menopause treatment can help minimize severity of symptoms and support better health and wellbeing.
The menopause doctors at Vital Hormones Clinic recognize that no two women have the same experience with menopause. We perform comprehensive blood analysis to understand each woman's hormone levels before creating customized treatment plans.
