Menopause –

Relieve symptoms. Instead of suffering.

The menopause begins for women in their late forties, sometimes even in their late thirties, when the female sex hormones dry up and menstruation stops. Men also experience a hormonal change in midlife and testosterone levels fall.

It is not uncommon for the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause to appear even before menstruation finally stops - such as hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, pain during sexual intercourse, weight gain, reduced libido, insomnia, tiredness and mood swings.

Many women think that everything will return to normal once the hot flushes are over. But hot flushes are nothing more than a warning signal that indicates a hormone deficiency in all organs. A hormone deficiency which, if not corrected in time, carries the risk of secondary diseases such as osteoarthritis, dementia, osteoporosis and incontinence.

"I'm sitting in front of the doctor with my hormonal complaints and he says, it's just the way it is, you're in the menopause, you just have to get through it now". I often hear this from my patients when I ask them about their experiences with their doctors after they have finally found their way to my practice. Many women simply feel misunderstood by their doctors.

My answer to that? It's simply not true that the menopause has to be endured in silence, so to speak. On the contrary. The first thing I do is take a very close look at your hormone status. Are there deficits, how can these be remedied, what can contribute holistically to making your menopause as bearable as possible.

My bioidentical hormone therapy can help you not to experience the menopause as something negative, as if you were no longer a "real" woman. But as a positive change. As a path to more serenity in life.
