Understanding Menopause

At Mint Medical Clinic, we specialize in helping women navigate perimenopause, menopause, and beyond with personalized hormone optimization. Our goal is to help you feel like yourself again—energized, balanced, and thriving.

Comprehensive Care

Treatment for Every Stage

Perimenopause

The transition years before menopause when hormones fluctuate dramatically. Symptoms often begin here—irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings. Treatment can significantly ease this transition.

Menopause

Officially diagnosed after 12 months without a period. Hormone levels have dropped significantly. This is when many women experience the most intense symptoms and seek treatment.

Postmenopause

The years after menopause. While some symptoms ease, low hormones continue affecting bone health, heart health, cognition, and quality of life. Ongoing hormone therapy helps protect long-term health.

"I was having 20+ hot flashes a day and couldn't sleep. My mood was all over the place and I felt like I was losing my mind. Within a few weeks of starting hormone therapy at Mint Medical, the hot flashes stopped, I'm sleeping again, and I feel like myself for the first time in years. This has been life-changing."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Menopause Treatment

What is menopause and when does it occur?

Menopause is when a woman's ovaries stop producing eggs and hormone levels (estrogen and progesterone) decline. It typically occurs between ages 45-55, with the average age being 51. Perimenopause (the transition) can begin years earlier with symptoms like irregular periods and hot flashes.

What are common menopause symptoms?

Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, mood changes (irritability, anxiety, depression), vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, decreased libido, weight gain, brain fog, joint pain, and thinning hair. Symptoms vary widely between women.

What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)?

BHRT uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those your body naturally produces. This includes bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Many women prefer BHRT because it's derived from plant sources and closely mimics natural hormones.

Is hormone therapy safe for menopause?

Hormone therapy is safe for most healthy women when started around the time of menopause and used appropriately. We perform comprehensive testing and ongoing monitoring to ensure safety. The benefits of symptom relief and bone protection often outweigh risks for many women.

How quickly will I feel better with hormone therapy?

Many women notice improvement in hot flashes, sleep, and mood within 2-4 weeks. Full benefits typically develop over 2-3 months as hormone levels stabilize. We adjust your protocol based on symptoms and lab results to optimize your results.

Do you treat perimenopause?

Yes, we treat women in all stages—perimenopause (the transition), menopause, and postmenopause. Many women experience significant symptoms during perimenopause when hormone levels fluctuate dramatically. Early treatment can greatly improve quality of life.

Can hormone therapy help with menopause-related weight gain?

Yes, hormone optimization can help with menopause-related weight gain. Declining estrogen shifts fat storage to the abdomen, and low testosterone reduces muscle mass and metabolism. Restoring hormones, combined with our medical weight loss options, can help you maintain a healthy weight.
