Menopause is a natural transition every woman goes through, marking the end of menstrual cycles. The average age for menopause onset is 51, but it can happen earlier or later.
Leading up to menopause, women experience perimenopause, where hormone levels fluctuate and decline, periods become irregular, and menopause symptoms start appearing. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, trouble sleeping, mood changes, lack of energy, and more.
While a natural process, menopause brings considerable hormonal changes that can negatively impact women's health and quality of life if not properly addressed. Continuing vigilance and timely treatment is key.
The hallmark of menopause is plummeting estrogen levels. As the ovaries stop releasing eggs, less estrogen and progesterone are produced. Meanwhile, male hormones like testosterone decline more gradually.
These shifting hormone ratios cause many unwelcome effects. Estrogen in particular helps regulate reproductive health, bone strength, heart function, skin elasticity, body temperature, memory, and more. Deficiencies can promote weight gain, sexual dysfunction, hot flashes, osteoporosis, heart disease, and other issues.
Careful hormone testing is crucial to uncover imbalances. Levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol and more may be assessed through blood, saliva, or urine tests. This informs appropriate treatment.
Without adequate hormones, numerous symptoms and risks emerge. Here are key deficiency signs:
There are various options to treat menopause depending on symptoms and test results:
Custom blends of FDA-approved hormones matched to individual needs. More flexibility in doses and delivery methods.
Plant-derived with similar molecular structure to human hormones. Considered natural and well tolerated. Brands include Estrace, Estraderm.
Diet, exercise, stress management and certain supplements can aid hormone balance. But moderate cases need medical treatment too.

While hormone replacement therapy has commonly been used to treat menopause symptoms, research shows that cognitive behavioral therapy focusing on changing thought patterns around aging can be just as effective for some women. This talk therapy helps counteract the cultural stigmatization of menopause as a time of decline.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) entails testosterone treatment delivered through gels, injections or pellets to supply steady testosterone levels in deficient patients. As women get older, declining testosterone underlies issues like low libido, sexual dysfunction, lack of energy, depression, weight gain and more.
TRT therapy has the following features and benefits:
Testosterone pellet implants are a popular long-term TRT option, providing stabilized hormone levels for typically 3-6 months per treatment. Pellets are bioidentical hormones derived from yams and soy plants, considered more natural and safer than synthetic versions.
Working with an experienced hormone specialist is strongly advised to ensure proper diagnosis, dosing and monitoring when starting TRT or any hormone therapy regimen. Keep reading to discover why Balance Hormone Clinic leads in premier menopause and age management treatments.
Since hormone production declines with age, maintaining optimal levels through testing and prompt treatment becomes crucial, especially during milestone phases like perimenopause and menopause.
The emergence of menopause symptoms indicates your body communicating that hormone production from your ovaries is slowing. These early warning signs shouldn’t be ignored or dismissed as normal aging. Acting quickly leads to the best health outcomes.
Here's why timely diagnosis and treatment is so vital:
In addition to bothersome symptoms making life less comfortable, left untreated, deficiencies can silently raise your risk for issues like osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Stopping or reversing hormone loss early on is key to staying vibrant and healthy during your later years.
