Take the first step towards your well-being
Understanding Hormones
Hormones are chemical messengers that play a crucial role in regulating many of the body's processes, including growth, metabolism, and reproductive functions. When these hormones are out of balance, it can significantly affect your overall health and well-being.
Navigating Perimenopause
Perimenopause marks the transition period leading up to menopause, where estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate unpredictably. Common symptoms during this stage include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and irregular periods. Hormone therapy during perimenopause can help manage these symptoms by stabilizing hormone levels, offering relief and a return to normalcy in daily life.
Embracing Post-Menopause
Post-menopause is the stage following menopause, characterized by a significant decrease in estrogen levels, which can lead to symptoms like vaginal dryness, urinary problems, and bone density loss. Hormone therapy in post-menopausal women focuses on replenishing estrogen to mitigate these symptoms and promote a healthier life as estrogen levels naturally decline.
Treatment Options
At West Nassau Wellness, we offer a variety of hormone therapy options tailored to each woman's specific needs:
