Schedule a consultationWhat is menopause?
Menopause is the point when menstrual periods have stopped for twelve months, marking the end of reproductive years. The transition leading up to it, called perimenopause, can begin in the late thirties or forties and often brings the most noticeable symptoms as estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate and decline.
What causes menopause symptoms?
Symptoms are driven by changing hormone levels, including:
- Declining estrogen
- Lower progesterone
- Reduced testosterone
- Fluctuating hormone levels
- Surgical or medical menopause
Every woman experiences these changes differently, so treatment should be personalized.
