Menopause is a natural transition that all women experience as they age. The term "menopause" refers to the point when a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months. In the years leading up to menopause, women may experience perimenopause, which is characterized by irregular periods and fluctuating hormone levels.
The average age for menopause is 51, but it can occur anywhere from 40-55 years of age. Every woman's experience is unique. At New Beginnings HRT Clinic in Red Oak, our menopause specialists understand the physical and emotional changes associated with menopause and perimenopause. We provide individualized treatment plans to help women manage symptoms and promote long-term health during this transition.
Women may experience various symptoms before, during, and after menopause as a result of declining estrogen levels. Common symptoms include:
The severity and duration of symptoms varies significantly among women. Lifestyle choices can also impact menopausal symptoms. For example, smoking, lack of exercise, and a diet high in processed foods tend to worsen symptoms.
At New Beginnings HRT Clinic, we conduct a thorough evaluation to understand each woman's unique situation. We develop customized treatment plans aimed at relieving symptoms and helping women thrive during menopause.
In addition to bothersome symptoms, menopause increases risks for certain health conditions over time. These include:
When estrogen levels decline, women lose a layer of protection against these diseases. Our menopause practitioners explain these increased risks and offer solutions tailored to each patient's needs. The goal is to prevent disease and empower women to make smart lifestyle choices during the menopausal transition.
At New Beginnings HRT Clinic, we do not take a one-size-fits-all approach to menopause care. Our board-certified menopause hormone specialists conduct comprehensive evaluations, including:
Armed with this information, we develop custom treatment plans that may include:
Simple lifestyle measures can provide significant relief from troublesome menopausal symptoms. Recommendations may include:
In addition to relieving symptoms, healthy lifestyle choices strengthen the immune system and lower risks for age-related diseases. Our providers offer hands-on support to help women implement positive changes. We also provide referrals to dietitians, mental health professionals, or specialized fitness trainers as needed.
Hormone therapy can be highly effective at relieving moderate to severe menopausal symptoms when lifestyle measures alone are inadequate. At New Beginnings HRT Clinic, our menopause specialists tailor hormone regimens to each woman's needs, with consideration of her medical history, risk factors, preferences, and treatment goals.
We provide bioidentical hormones including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA. These plant-derived hormones are molecularly identical to those made naturally by the ovaries. Custom-compounded in our on-site pharmacy, these hormones closely mimic the body's fluctuating levels before menopause.
Benefits of hormone therapy include:
For women within 10 years of menopause onset, experts agree the benefits of hormone therapy generally outweigh risks when used at the lowest dose that relieves symptoms. We carefully monitor patients on hormones to ensure treatment safety and efficacy. Dose adjustments are made as needed over time.
