The transition into menopause, medically referred to as perimenopause, starts for most women in their late 40s to early 50s. As the ovaries begin producing less of the key hormones estrogen and progesterone, levels fluctuate and ultimately decline. This brings unpleasant symptoms that disrupt quality of life.
Menopause itself is confirmed after a woman has gone 12 straight months without a period. The average age for this milestone is 51. Let's explore common symptoms and proven treatment options.
While menopause is inevitable for women as they age, you don't have to suffer through debilitating symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy can provide immense relief when tailored to your needs.
Our compassionate menopause specialists offer cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies to help you feel like yourself again. We identify your unique hormonal imbalances through blood tests and carefully craft treatment plans with bioidentical hormones - made to perfectly match your natural hormones.
With over 15 years serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Optimal Hormone Wellness Center provides exceptional care with:
We also provide hormone treatments for transgender patients. Regardless of your background and identity, you'll find a welcoming environment.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the estrogens, progesterone and testosterone produced in the female body. This allows them to bind more efficiently with receptors and mimic natural function.
Synthetics like those found in birth control pills and conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) have slightly altered structures. As foreign substances, these hormones may increase health risks and cause new issues.
Rest assured bioidentical hormones offer the safest, most natural relief from disruptive menopause symptoms. Let's explore key treatment options...
Declining estrogen levels drive most bothersome menopausal symptoms. Estrogen therapy primarily comes in two forms:
We'll help determine if estrogen alone or combined "progesterone estrogen" therapy is best for you based on your health profile.
Testosterone also gradually declines in women over 40. Since it strongly influences sex drive and energy levels, testosterone therapy can profoundly improve your vitality.
Options include testosterone pills, injections, gels and creams. Pellet implants placed under the skin provide another effective long-term solution.
Progesterone works hand-in-hand with estrogen to regulate menstruation and stabilize moods. It can be taken as a progesterone pill, injection, or suppository.
Again, by testing your hormone levels first, our practitioners create fully personalized plans to get you feeling balanced again.
Along with hormone optimization, we provide therapies like:
It's important to realize menopause treatment goes beyond temporarily alleviating symptoms. Supporting your hormone levels earlier on provides extensive health protections well into older age.
Estrogen therapy is proven to help:
The benefits of testosterone and progesterone extend even further. Don't wait until you've reached full-on menopause to seek treatment. The sooner you begin optimizing hormones after they start declining, the more rewards you'll reap long-term.
Studies show that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be an effective menopause treatment, reducing symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood changes in some women. CBT helps women identify and change negative thought patterns around menopause, improving coping skills and resilience during this transition.
We aim to educate and empower women to take charge of their health during this major life transition. Our renowned menopause doctors stay current with the latest research and best practices.
