Menopause is a natural biological process marking the end of a woman's reproductive years. During this transition, ovaries gradually produce less estrogen and progesterone, causing various physical and emotional changes. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, and sleep disturbances. While often temporary, these symptoms can significantly impact quality of life.
Addressing hormonal imbalances during menopause is crucial for maintaining overall well-being. Untreated deficiencies increase the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, cognitive decline, and other age-related health issues. At Vitality Hormone Center, we offer personalized menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) solutions to alleviate symptoms and promote long-term health.
MHT, also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), offers several benefits:
| Benefit | Description |

| Alleviate hot flashes & night sweats | Reduces the frequency and intensity of these common menopausal symptoms. |
| Improve vaginal dryness & sexual function | Relieves vaginal dryness and improves sexual health. |

Hormonal fluctuations can significantly impact mental and emotional well-being. Estrogen's role in regulating mood, cognitive function, and mental clarity means its decline can lead to mood swings, anxiety, depression, and cognitive difficulties.
