Menopause is a natural transition in a woman's life when her periods stop permanently and she can no longer get pregnant naturally. The years leading up to menopause are called perimenopause. During this time, menstrual cycles become irregular as hormone levels fluctuate and start to decline.
On average, women reach menopause around age 51, but it can happen earlier or later. The changes leading up to and following menopause are different for every woman. But most experience symptoms like hot flashes, trouble sleeping, vaginal dryness, and emotional changes due to shifting hormone levels.
The most common signs and symptoms of perimenopause and menopause include:

}Treating menopause symptoms and getting needed hormone therapy provides major protective health benefits while letting women feel more like themselves again.}

}At Balance & Renew Clinic, our menopause experts take a holistic approach to identify any hormone deficiencies and get women feeling balanced again through precision treatment plans.}
Detecting menopausal hormone deficiencies starts with bloodwork to check levels of key hormones along with other vital health markers like cholesterol. Initial baseline labs are taken, then follow-up tests help gauge treatment effectiveness. We also do pellet insertion and manage testosterone therapy.
Additional specialized diagnostic testing may include: pelvic ultrasound to visualize ovaries and uterus; uterine biopsy checking cell status; bone mineral density scans to score osteoporosis risk.
}We take time listening to a woman's health history and concerns. Then based on symptoms and lab work, our practitioners create customized treatment plans to renew hormonal balance and vitality.}

}Our goal is to empower women with knowledge and compassion while resolving troublesome symptoms for a positively balanced menopause journey.}
Studies show that practicing yoga postures designed to stimulate the pituitary gland can help relieve menopause symptoms in some women. These poses, which include supported shoulderstand and supported fish pose, may aid hormone balance by gently stimulating the pituitary to produce more endorphins and hormones like estrogen.
During perimenopause and the menopausal transition, fluctuating hormones trigger symptoms interfering with work, relationships and quality of life. Finding the right treatment brings relief.
