Menopause is a natural transition that all women go through, typically between the ages of 45 and 55. As estrogen levels decline, women may experience unpleasant symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, sleep difficulties, and more.
Vitality Hormone Clinic in Sunny Isles specializes in providing individualized hormone therapy to help women relieve their menopause symptoms and promote better overall wellbeing during this transition. With a team of caring doctors specializing in menopause, we offer comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each woman's unique needs.
Menopause officially begins when a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Perimenopause refers to the transitional stage leading up to menopause, which can last up to 10 years for some women.
The declining estrogen levels that trigger menopause have widespread effects on a woman's body. Some common changes and symptoms include:
Prompt evaluation and treatment can provide immense relief by easing challenging menopausal symptoms. The doctors at Vitality Hormone Clinic stay up-to-date on the latest therapies to help patients thrive through menopause.
The first step in developing an individualized hormone therapy plan is thoroughly evaluating each patient's health status and risk factors. Our clinicians order laboratory testing of hormone levels and use the results along with a detailed health history to determine the best treatment approach.
Blood tests help evaluate levels of:
We also assess risk factors like:
Careful evaluation allows us to create treatment regimens using the lowest effective hormone doses to achieve symptom relief while avoiding risks. Follow-up testing helps monitor patient progress.
After the evaluation process, we develop custom treatment plans which often include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones naturally produced by the body. They are derived from plant sources and custom-compounded in a pharmacy according to each woman's individual needs.
Common bioidentical hormones we prescribe include:
Helps relieve hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal atrophy, bone loss, and mood issues. We offer oral tablets, topical gels/creams, vaginal inserts, and pellet implants.
Works synergistically with estrogen to balance hormonal effects on the body. Key for protecting uterine health. We provide oral capsules, vaginal gel, or progesterone creams.
Small amounts of testosterone help maintain sex drive, energy levels, cognitive function and emotional wellbeing. We prescribe custom compounded creams, gels or pellets.
Dosing starts low and is continually adjusted based on patient response and lab results. The goal is to use the ideal levels needed to effectively treat symptoms with minimal risks. Hormone therapy works best alongside lifestyle approaches (like diet, exercise, stress management) for whole-body vitality.
Follow-up blood tests are done 1-3 months after starting hormones and every 6-12 months thereafter. Patients are closely monitored for benefits and side effects.
