What is menopause management?

Menopause signals the end of a woman’s childbearing years and occurs when periods stop for 12 consecutive months. Perimenopause is the time leading up to menopause, which can last from several months to 10 years before you reach menopause.

During the perimenopause transition, the body stops producing estrogen and other reproductive hormones. A reduction in hormones can cause a range of physical, mental, and emotional changes that negatively affect quality of life.

Institute for Gynecology Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery offers menopause management services to address uncomfortable symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness.

Dr. Asulin takes a patient-centered approach to assessing symptom severity and designs a care plan to improve a woman’s health and wellness.  

When should I schedule a menopause management appointment?

While 52 is the average age for menopause, many women can begin experiencing related symptoms as early as their late 30s.

Schedule a menopause management consultation at Institute for Gynecology Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery if you experience menopause-related symptoms like:

• Irregular periods
• Heavy uterine bleeding
• Vaginal irritation or dryness
• Pain during sex
• Urinary leaks (incontinence)
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats

Mood swings and mental health issues like anxiety and depression can also develop due to hormone fluctuations during the menopause transition.

Dr. Asulin offers in-office blood tests to assess your hormone levels and rule out other potential causes of uncomfortable symptoms.

He designs a care plan to ease the frequency and severity of menopause symptoms. Dr. Asulin also discusses strategies you can use to prevent osteoporosis, heart disease, and other conditions that become more common after menopause due to a loss of estrogen.

What is included in menopause management?

Institute for Gynecology Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery provides advanced treatment options to support women transitioning into their postmenopausal years.

Some women may benefit from hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to rebalance hormone levels and relieve persistent or severe menopause symptoms. Dr. Asulin works closely with you to find the proper HRT treatment and dosage.

If you’re not a candidate for hormone therapy, Dr. Asulin recommends lifestyle and diet changes you can make to improve your general wellness. He might also recommend vitamins and other supplements to protect against bone loss and other menopause-related complications.
