This is a simple question with a complex answer. Some women move through menopause with relative ease and don’t find their symptoms to be especially disruptive. However, if symptoms begin to disrupt your normal daily activities, it may be time to seek treatment at The Miami Institute for Women’s Health. There is no need to live with the discomfort or inconvenience of menopause symptoms when there are safe and effective treatments that can help. What are some treatments for menopause?
The primary treatment for menopause is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). This approach involves adding supplemental hormones to help you achieve optimal hormonal balance by replenishing estrogen your body is no longer producing. At The Miami Institute for Women’s Health, Dr. Aldabbagh uses bioidentical hormones for hormone replacement therapy. These hormones, while synthetic, are from plant sources. Certain non-bioidentical synthetic hormones are from the urine of pregnant horses. Bioidentical hormones share the same molecular structure as your natural hormones, and your body cannot distinguish between the hormones you produce and those that are supplemental. In some cases, you can treat specific symptoms of menopause without hormone replacement therapy. For example, if your primary complaint is anxiety or depression, some medications can help you during the menopause process.
