What Is Menopause?

Menopause is the natural transition from a woman’s reproductive years to her post-reproductive years.


Most women begin this transition in their mid to late 40s, during a stage known as perimenopause, when:

  • Ovarian function begins to decline
  • Estrogen and progesterone levels decrease


Menopause is officially reached when you have gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, which typically occurs in your early 50s.


While the end of menstrual cycles can bring relief, hormonal changes may also lead to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms.

What Are the Symptoms of Menopause?

Every woman experiences menopause differently. Some women have minimal symptoms, while others experience more significant changes.


Common Symptoms of Menopause

Hot flashes

Night sweats

Vaginal dryness

Pain during intercourse

Urinary incontinence

Weight gain

Mood changes

The severity and duration of symptoms vary from person to person. If your symptoms are interfering with your daily life, treatment options are available to help you feel better.

When Should I See a Doctor for Menopause Symptoms?

You should consider scheduling an appointment if you experience:

  • Persistent or severe hot flashes
  • Sleep disturbances due to night sweats
  • Pain with intercourse or vaginal dryness
  • Mood changes affecting daily life
  • Symptoms that interfere with your quality of life


Early evaluation can help you find effective symptom relief and long-term health support.

How Does Menopause Affect Your Overall Health?

Estrogen plays an important role in many functions throughout your body. As hormone levels decline during menopause, several changes may occur.


Health Effects of Decreased Estrogen

  • Reduced bone density (increased risk of osteoporosis)
  • Loss of skin elasticity and hydration
  • Increased risk of cardiovascular disease


Understanding these changes allows your provider to recommend treatments that support your long-term health and wellness.

What Are the Treatment Options for Menopause?

Treatment for menopause focuses on relieving symptoms and reducing long-term health risks.


Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)


The primary treatment for menopause is hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which helps restore estrogen levels.


HRT can:

Relieve hot flashes and night sweats

Improve vaginal dryness and sexual health

Help prevent bone loss and osteoporosis

HRT is safe for most women, especially when started early in menopause. However, it may not be recommended for women with a history of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer.



Your provider will perform testing, including blood work if needed, to determine the appropriate treatment plan and dosage.
