Just as with every other stage in a woman's life, menopause is both normal and natural, although it does come with some challenges. Symptoms of menopause can be managed with the help of your North Richland Hills, TX, gynecologist, Dr. Rhodesia LaStrap, and one of the more common treatments is hormone therapy.
Menopause cannot be reversed, but there are treatment options available to you that can help ease the transition and alleviate some of the more inconvenient symptoms.
Our doctor can prescribe medication and supplements, and they may also suggest a variety of lifestyle improvements you can make that can further help with your symptoms. Changes such as exercise, a healthy diet, getting more sleep, and quitting smoking.
But one of the treatment options your gynecologist can also provide is hormone therapy.
Our gynecologist can help determine if you are a candidate for hormone therapy, but it can prove beneficial if other treatments and lifestyle changes alone haven't offered the relief you seek. That is, if your symptoms are moderate or severe and if they are negatively impacting your quality of life.
You may also be a candidate for treatment if you have experienced early menopause, or menopause before the age of 45.
With menopause comes a decline in your body's reproductive hormones, which is the underlying cause of menopause symptoms. Hormone therapy seeks to reduce these symptoms by supplying the body with hormones to bring back some balance. There are different ways that hormone therapy can be performed and these vary depending on the severity of your symptoms and your own health needs. Our gynecologist will work with you to determine the best possible approach for the best individual results.
