Let Us Help You Navigate the Challenges of Menopause!

Menopause image

Menopause. . . all women eventually have to go through it, but many suffer silently with the symptoms, or figure there’s nothing they can do about them. In fact, a lot of women won’t ever even bring up the topic to their primary care doctor or their gynecologist. Menopause happens when the ovaries no longer release an egg every month, menstruation stops and estrogen and progesterone levels drop, and these drops in hormone levels cause all kinds of changes in a woman’s body. Even though it is a normal part of aging, the symptoms of menopause can be very disruptive to some women’s lives. 

Although all women experience menopause in their own unique way, there are a number of symptoms women can end up experiencing during menopause. Here are just a few:

Hot flashes and night sweats: Studies show that about 75% of menopausal women experience hot flashes. Hot flashes are a sudden flush of heat in the face and neck and the upper part of your body. They can cause heavy sweating or can leave you shivering with a cold sweat, and often feel like a fever. They can happen several times in an hour, a few times a day, or once or twice a week. They can be during the day, or interrupt your sleep at night with night sweats. And night sweats can cause chronic sleep deprivation as well. 

Insomnia/sleep deprivation: Whether it’s because night sweats wake you up in the middle of the night, or you just have trouble falling asleep or waking too early, one of the issues many women have during menopause is getting enough sleep. And that can be very disruptive in life!

Urination and bladder control: Incontinence or the loss of bladder control can also accompany menopause. You may have a sudden urge to urinate or have problems with leakage during exercise or when sneezing or laughing.

Sexuality and vaginal health: The loss of hormones quite often leads to vaginal dryness, and a lack of elasticity which in turn can make sexual intercourse uncomfortable. Or the lack of hormones could lead to you feeling less interested in sex. Or, you may find yourself feeling freer and sexier after menopause due to the fact that you no longer have to worry about getting pregnant. 

Body changes: Your body just plain changes. Remember what it was like when you hit puberty and your body changed? Well, welcome to menopause, which causes a whole other range of changes. Your skin gets thinner, but your waist get larger. You can lose muscle tone and gain fat. You may feel more achey, have more headaches or have heart palpatations. You may find yourself getting more pimples. 

Changes in mood: Hormonal changes often bring about moodiness and irritability. Sudden swings in mood from happy to sad or mad can come about. Remember when you were a sulky teen? Menopause can make you feel that way again.

Bigger Health Concerns

While all of these symptoms listed can be either mildly annoying or truly interrupt your life, we don’t want to step over the fact that loss of hormones can cause larger health issues in the long run as well. Because regardless of how you feel about menopause, the fact is that it increases certain health risks. Hormonal changes in the 12 months following menopause can result in a rise in cholesterol leading to heart disease. A reduction of estrogen can lead to a dramatic decrease in bone density and the onset of osteoporosis in some post-menopausal women. The loss in muscle-tone due to the estrogen decrease can lead to women falling more often and breaking more bones. The hormonal changes can affect vision and weaken the cornea, and increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

There are a number of ways to combat the effects of menopause in your life, but you have to be willing to discuss it with your doctor. 

Here’s how to prepare to talk to your primary care about it: 

  1. Make a list of your symptoms, describing them clearly and briefly and noting when they started, how they make you feel and what you’ve tried already to alleviate them.
  2. Make a list of what prescriptions and over the counter drugs, vitamins, herbal remedies and other supplements you may be taking regularly.
  3. Make notes about your diet, physical exercise regime, smoking, drug or alcohol use and sexual history.
  4. Include notes about any allergies you have. Note any other treatments you get from other doctors.
  5. Make a list of questions and concerns you have and don’t be afraid to discuss the sensitive topics, for example, if sexual intercourse has become painful. Because it’s important, and can be addressed in a number of ways.
  6. Find out about tests, treatment options and medications that can help alleviate your current symptoms or protect you from future long term health issues due the menopause. Ask about side effects, or any other concerns new medications or treatments may have. 

Innovative Treatments

At PremierMD Care, we offer a number of innovative treatments for the symptoms of peri-menopause, menopause and to help lower the risks associated with post-menopausal lack of hormones.

One of the primary things we recommend for menopausal women is hormone replacement therapy, and we offer one of the newest methods for it with bioidentical pellet therapy. Pellet hormone replacement therapy is ideal because it is safe, natural and effective. The pellets deliver healthy, consistent levels of hormones for three to six months depending on dosage. Due to the steady hormone levels, users do not see unwanted symptoms or side effects caused by fluctuating levels of hormones. They do not increase blood clot risk like conventional or synthetic HRT methods. It does not carry the same risk of breast cancer as high oral estrogen doses that do not contain enough hormone metabolites or chemical progestins. Research suggests balanced hormones protect breast health. Some of the benefits of this therapy include:

  • More energy
  • Deeper, more restful sleep
  • Improved mood
  • Increase in muscle mass and bone density
  • Decrease in fatty tissue
  • Increase in strength, coordination and physical performance
  • Enhancement of concentration and memory
  • Improvement of skin tone and hair texture

Another innovative treatment we offer here is ThermiVa, which is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment option for vaginal rejuvenation. It uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat vaginal tissues, which encourages the production of collagen and elastin fibers. The process can tighten vaginal tissues, reduce urinary incontinence, enhance sexual sensitivity and reduce discomfort during sexual intercourse. Your body literally produces new fibers for better feminine wellness in general. 

We look forward to helping you move into your golden years with ease and grace and in the healthiest way possible! Your health and well-being is our biggest priority! Call (239) 500-6363 for an appointment.

Am I a Candidate for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Am I a Candidate for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

There are a number of reasons why people are interested in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Many women are interested in this therapy because of the constant fluctuations they experience in hormones throughout their lives. Pregnancy, menopause, PMS, and other situations can make life difficult for some women. Men also battle with hormone fluctuations, especially as they get older. Additional hormonal challenges arise based on a man’s diet and the stresses they are under.

As a person ages, they will experience a normal fluctuation in hormone levels. A person may ask, how can I know for sure if I am a good candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy? There are a lot of factors to consider, but let’s focus on just a few of them.

You Have Undergone Hormone Testing

This is the obvious but not always appreciated reason why people begin bioidentical hormone therapy. In fact, before our doctor would recommend any form of hormone therapy, they are going to do some testing to make sure that your hormone levels are actually low. There is no benefit in giving someone hormone therapy if their symptoms are being caused by something else.

Doctors are able to examine your blood to determine your hormone levels. They can compare these levels with what is considered standard for someone in your age range. Some assume that when a man or woman reaches a certain age, they are automatically deficient in a particular hormone. However, this assumption is not always accurate. There are a number of individuals who are in their middle-age years or older who are still producing healthy levels of hormones that their body is happy with. If that’s the case, then there’s really no reason to make any changes.

Let’s say that you are a woman who is healthy and in your mid-20’s. You’re experiencing hot flashes and other symptoms connected to menopause. This is not enjoyable, it’s not normal, and it is definitely not healthy. This may be an example of perimenopause. Basically, your hormone levels are dropping faster than they should. In this instance, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may be a solution to the symptoms that you are dealing with.

Men may also experience an abnormal drop in their testosterone levels. There are a number of factors that can contribute to this. In some cases, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is exactly what is needed in order to help get the man feeling like he should for his age.

Change Your Life for the Better with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Change Your Life for the Better with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

When your reproductive hormones start to drop, it can make you begin to experience a long list of bothersome symptoms. You may not have had any health problems up to this point. However, it’s a completely different story no matter how healthy you are. Even if you have always been in tiptop shape, exercising and making wise choices about what you put in your body, your hormones can cause unexpected changes that you can’t control on your own. If you begin experiencing symptoms that are turning your life upside down, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy could be an effective way for you to get your hormones back under control.

How Do You Know That Your Hormones are Imbalanced?

Your reproductive hormones are at their highest levels when you are younger. This is true for both men and women. Women go through more changes in their hormone levels than men. These changes revolve around menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause. Men peak in their early twenties, but their hormones gradually drop off from that point forward. If hormonal changes are mild, you might not notice anything that is different. If you go through an extreme drop in hormonal levels, you will know that something is off. You might not know what is wrong, but you realize you need to get checked by a medical professional. Your symptoms could be:

• Difficulty getting a full night’s rest
• Feeling extremely tired
• Difficulty staying on task and remembering things
• A loss of interest in sexual intimacy
• Weight gain for no reason
• Severe mood swings

If you have reached the age when hormone changes are common and you are experiencing symptoms that are bothering you, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy could be the right approach for you.

Why Choose Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy offers you a solution when your hormone levels have dropped to the point that you are feeling uncomfortable. You can choose a hormone replacement plan with hormones that have the same foundation as the hormones that should be produced naturally by your reproductive system. As your hormone levels come back up consistently over time, you should feel relief from your symptoms.
