Menopause can precipitate symptoms like menstrual changes, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, bladder issues and a host of other symptoms. There are currently multiple treatment options to help alleviate these worrisome symptoms. It is wise to evaluate your hormonal levels to determine treatment as well as having follow-up lab testing to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment that you are exploring. Regular evaluation of your estrogen, testosterone and other hormones can help guide your treatment pathway.
