What is menopause management?

Menopause management takes an integrative, holistic approach to managing menopausal symptoms.

Menopause is a normal part of a woman’s aging process. It officially occurs after you’ve gone 12 months without a menstrual period. However, hormonal changes often start before then as part of the lead-up to menopause. This lead-up phase is called perimenopause.

The hormone fluctuations caused by perimenopause and menopause trigger various symptoms. These symptoms can be challenging and affect your mood, sleep, and quality of life.

Menopause management aims to relieve these symptoms quickly, using safe, effective treatments.

Am I a candidate for menopause management?

Consider enrolling in menopause management at Regenerative Services if you have symptoms like: 

• Irregular periods
• Hot flashes (a sudden uncomfortable feeling of warmth that spreads over your body)
• Night sweats
• Vaginal dryness
• Fatigue
• Difficulty sleeping (insomnia)
• Breast tenderness
• Dry skin, dry mouth, or dry eyes
• Low libido

All these symptoms are caused by hormone fluctuations. Menopause management rebalances your hormones and reduces the risk of common age-related health problems like osteoporosis and heart disease.

What does menopause management involve?

At Regenerative Services, Marina tailors menopause management to your needs. She could recommend:

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) uses synthetic (lab-made) hormones to increase levels of progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone.

Restoring your hormone balance can relieve common menopause symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. HRT can be administered in several ways. Marina offers pills, patches, creams, and a vaginal ring.

Compounded medications

If you aren’t a candidate for traditional HRT, Marina could recommend bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). BHRT uses natural, plant-based hormones to balance the hormones in your body.

Marina sends your prescription to a compound pharmacy that creates your bioidentical treatment. Like HRT, bioidentical hormones can be administered in several ways.

Anti-aging treatments

The menopause transition takes a toll on your hair and skin. Anti-aging treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, and intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy can reduce these effects, keeping your skin and hair healthy and youthful.

How long does it take menopause management to work?

The time it takes menopause management to work will depend on how severe your hormone imbalance is and your personalized treatment plan. Many women experience noticeable relief within a few weeks of starting hormone replacement therapy, but it could take longer.* Follow Marina’s instructions and attend each of your scheduled checkups.
