Menopause & Perimenopause

Navigating Hormonal Transition

Menopause is a natural transition, but symptoms don't have to control your life. Explore bioidentical hormone therapy and supportive treatments.

Overview

Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles, typically occurring in your 40s or 50s. The transition phase (perimenopause) can last several years and bring various symptoms as hormone levels fluctuate.

Common Signs & Symptoms

Hot flashes and night sweats
Sleep disturbances
Mood changes and irritability
Vaginal dryness
Decreased libido
Brain fog and memory issues
Joint pain
Weight gain

Understanding the Stages

Perimenopause is the transition phase before menopause, characterised by irregular periods and fluctuating hormone levels. Menopause is confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a period. Post-menopause refers to the years following menopause.

Compounded Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (cBHRT)

cBHRT uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those your body produces naturally. We can compound customised estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone formulations in various delivery methods including creams, troches, and capsules.

Complementary Approaches

Beyond hormone therapy, we can create formulations to support bone health, cardiovascular health, and mood stability during this transition. Customised nutraceuticals can address specific symptom concerns.
