Menopause
While menopause is clinically defined as the lack of menstrual periods for a full year, if it's happening to you, it's hardly so cut and dried! Though it's a natural event in every woman's life, menopause can be a time of upheaval and upsetting symptoms that continue for several years. From the onset of perimenopause, which can begin as long as a decade before menopause, the complex system of hormones in a woman's body is in flux. Levels of progesterone and estrogen fluctuate and gradually fall, and a woman's periods will typically become irregular and more widely-spaced. Until a new equilibrium is reached, many women will experience menopause symptoms such as memory problems, mood swings, "hot flashes", difficulty sleeping, reduced sexual interest and enjoyment and depressed mood.
Dealing With Menopause Symptoms
It's important that your health provider get a clear picture of what's happening to your body. At a minimum, your physician will need to check your estradiol level and your level of FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone.) In addition, it is important that your thyroid be evaluated, as many maturing women experience lower levels of thyroid gland activity which can be mistaken for symptoms of midlife transition.
At the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center, we understand that every woman is unique. Our providers use careful, extensive testing to determine how best to restore our patients to optimal well-being. And, if warranted, a physician will prescribe bioidentical hormones that are exactly like the ones your body produces. At BHRC, we avoid the use of synthetic hormones that have never existed naturally in the human body.
