Restoring Balance With Precision
What are Customized Menopause Treatments?
Menopause treatment at M&W is focused on restoring hormonal balance lost during this transition, primarily by utilizing Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). BHRT is a precision medical treatment using hormones chemically identical to those your body naturally produces (estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone). Our treatment is not one-size-fits-all.
It is built upon comprehensive lab testing and patient-specific symptoms to address the root causes of issues like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood swings, and changes in skin health. We provide the medical foundation that allows you to thrive.
Personalized Wellness Protocol
What is the Menopause Treatment like?
The journey begins with a meticulous consultation and comprehensive lab work to assess your current hormonal state. Based on these results, we customize your treatment using two primary, high-end administration methods:
- Topical BHRT: Customized creams or gels applied daily, offering flexibility and gradual systemic absorption.
- BHRT Pellets: A brief, minor surgical procedure where small, bio-identical hormone pellets are inserted under the skin (usually the hip). This provides a continuous, steady stream of hormones for approximately three to four months, offering unmatched convenience and consistency.
We guide you through the chosen protocol with dedicated support and ongoing monitoring.
Addressing All Disruptions
What conditions does Menopause Treatment address?
Our comprehensive treatment addresses the wide range of symptoms that impact a woman's quality of life during peri-menopause and menopause:
Vasomotor Symptoms: Significantly reducing the frequency and severity of hot flashes and night sweats.
Emotional Well-being: Stabilizing mood, reducing irritability, and improving cognitive clarity and focus.
Physical Health: Improving sleep quality, restoring libido, and aiding in the management of bone density and body composition.
Aesthetic Concerns: Supporting skin elasticity and texture, often complemented by advanced aesthetic procedures like laser treatments for aging skin.
Harmony in Motion
Is Menopause Treatment right for me?
Menopause Treatment is ideal for women, typically ages 40 to 60, who are experiencing bothersome or debilitating symptoms associated with peri-menopause or menopause and wish to pursue a safe, medically-guided, and effective solution. It is a suitable option for those committed to regular medical monitoring and lab work.
It is not appropriate for those with certain hormone-sensitive cancers or cardiovascular risks, which we thoroughly screen for during your mandatory consultation.
Sustained Vitality
Menopause Treatment Maintenance & Results
Maintenance
There is no recovery period for daily BHRT creams, only adherence to the routine. For BHRT pellet insertion, recovery is minimal, involving keeping the small insertion site clean and dry for a few days to prevent infection or irritation. The true commitment is to consistency and follow-up. You must maintain the prescribed dosing schedule and attend regular appointments for lab review to ensure your hormone levels remain in the optimal therapeutic range.
Results
Women typically begin to notice significant subjective improvements in sleep and hot flashes within 4 to 8 weeks of beginning BHRT. Full optimization of mood, energy, and physical symptoms is achieved within 3 to 6 months. BHRT is intended to be a long-term partnership; the therapy lasts as long as you continue the customized treatment plan, which is designed to evolve with your needs over time.
Menopause Treatment Frequently Asked Questions
We prioritize safety by using Bio-Identical Hormones (BHRT), which are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces. This approach, combined with mandatory, regular lab monitoring by our medical director, ensures we maintain optimal therapeutic levels and minimize risks.
While BHRT is not a weight loss cure, restoring balanced hormones can significantly help manage menopausal weight gain. Balanced hormones improve metabolism, enhance energy for exercise, and support muscle mass retention, creating the medical foundation for successful weight management.
Topical creams require daily application but offer extreme flexibility in dosing. Pellets are inserted quarterly and provide a steady, continuous dose, which many women find highly convenient. Your provider will discuss which method best suits your lifestyle and lab results.
Initial lab testing is followed by monitoring within the first 3–6 months to fine-tune your dosage. Once your levels are stable and symptoms are resolved, follow-up testing is typically required every 6–12 months.
