Transitioning through perimenopause, the phase leading up to menopause, is a natural progression in a woman’s life. However, the symptoms accompanying this stage can be disruptive if left untreated. At Spokane Vitality Center, we offer comprehensive solutions to help you navigate perimenopause with confidence and comfort.
UNDERSTANDING PERIMENOPAUSE:
Perimenopause encompasses a range of symptoms that vary from woman to woman. These may include irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal changes, mood swings, fatigue, sleep disturbances, weight fluctuations, libido changes, hair and skin changes, memory and concentration issues, and digestive discomfort. While this list is not exhaustive, it highlights the complexities of perimenopause. If you suspect you’re experiencing these symptoms, we’re here to provide guidance and support.
IS OUR TREATMENT RIGHT FOR YOU?
If you’re grappling with the challenges of perimenopause, our tailored treatments may offer the relief you seek. Typically occurring in the late 40s to early 50s, perimenopause can begin earlier for some individuals, influenced by genetic factors such as family history. Our personalized approach takes into account your unique symptoms and medical history to create an effective treatment plan.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR APPROACH:
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a cornerstone of our treatment strategy. By replenishing declining hormone levels, particularly estrogen and sometimes progestin, HRT effectively alleviates common symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. Additionally, we may integrate low doses of testosterone to address concerns such as muscle loss, libido changes, and fatigue. Our treatment options include various administration methods, including pills, creams, injections, or pellets, tailored to your preferences and needs.
BEYOND HORMONAL SUPPORT:
In conjunction with HRT, we emphasize holistic approaches to promote overall well-being during perimenopause. A balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can aid in managing weight and supporting health. Limiting caffeine and alcohol intake may help mitigate hot flashes and sleep disruptions. Regular exercise, encompassing aerobic activities and strength training, is beneficial for stress reduction, mood enhancement, and weight management. Adequate calcium intake is essential for bone health, particularly during perimenopause when the risk of osteoporosis heightens. Consider supplementing with calcium and vitamin D if dietary sources are insufficient.
