Menopause marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycles and fertility. The transition typically begins between ages 45-55 and lasts for several years as hormone levels naturally decline. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, trouble sleeping, and more. Hormone therapy can provide relief by replacing depleted hormones like estrogen. New Beginnings HRT Clinic offers customized menopause treatment plans to help women alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life during this transition.
Menopause is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. The years leading up to menopause are called perimenopause, when periods become irregular as ovarian function declines. Most women reach menopause between the ages of 45-55, with an average age of 51 in the U.S. Genetics and lifestyle factors influence when menopause begins.
Key things to know:
The decline of estrogen and progesterone causes a variety of menopause symptoms that can significantly impact daily life:
If left untreated, symptoms often worsen over time. Some women develop more severe health issues like osteoporosis and heart disease. Seeking treatment can prevent long-term effects on physical and mental health.
The main goals of menopause therapy are to:
Treatment stabilizes hormone levels, allowing the body to function more normally again. Finding the right protocol is key for the best results.
Several therapy options can provide menopause symptom relief, from lifestyle measures to prescription medications:
Hormone therapy is considered the most effective option because it replaces the specific hormones that decline during menopause. The right protocol can make a dramatic difference in symptom relief.

The following are some of the most bothersome menopausal symptoms along with details on effective treatment solutions we offer at New Beginnings HRT Clinic:
Hot flashes and night sweats are the most common complaints during menopause. About 75% of women experience them to some degree. They result from fluctuating estrogen signaling the hypothalamus, the body’s temperature control center, leading to intense heat dissipation from blood vessels near skin’s surface along with profuse sweating which then suddenly stops.
Hormone therapy provides the most reliable relief by stabilizing estrogen levels. We can also recommend supplements, trigger avoidance, cooling techniques and more to enhance comfort. Prioritize getting quality sleep, as exhaustion exacerbates symptoms.
Our practitioners excel at finding the optimal estrogen doses and delivery methods to prevent hot flashes with minimal side effects. We also address related issues like energy dips, trouble focusing, anxiety and sleep disruption that develop over time when severe hot flashes persist.
Regaining stability and avoiding flare-ups enhances work performance, personal life and overall well-being during menopause. We’re here to help get your day-to-day experience back on track.
Many women develop vaginal dryness, itching, irritation, and pain during menopause due to declining estrogen. Thinning tissues become inflamed and less elastic. This can make exercise, urination, medical exams and sexual activity uncomfortable. Over time it can contribute to common urinary tract infections.
Low-dose vaginal estrogen preparations effectively treat this common condition. They deliver concentrated estrogen right where needed to nourish tissues. Benefits include restored thickness, lubrication, pH balance and healthy microbiome for comfort and safety. We compound customized formulations for best results.
Non-hormonal lubricants and moisturizers provide some relief but don’t address the root hormonal imbalance. We can advise on effective over-the-counter options as well. Avoiding irritants like scented soaps or laundry detergent helps too.
Come in as soon as you notice changes before they worsen. Our compassionate staff and nurse practitioners guide you through exams to accurately assess and continually monitor conditions for rapid symptom relief.
Many women experience increased anxiety, sadness, irritability and trouble thinking clearly/concentrating during the menopause transition. Collectively known as “brain fog,” these cognitive difficulties and mood changes often respond well to treatment.
Hormone therapy helps by stabilizing estrogen levels, which modulate neurotransmitters like serotonin influencing mood and cognition. Providing the progesterone component called progestogen at optimal doses can boost energy and mental sharpness. We also address factors like poor sleep andAddon vitamin deficiencies that magnify mood instability and cloudy thinking.
Beyond balancing hormones and nutrition, reducing life stresses through self-care helps minimize anxiety and sadness. We provide supportive therapies like counseling, mindfulness practices and movement classes that empower personal resilience. Our integrative care nurtures emotional health for centering your mindset during menopause. Contact us when you need guidance coping with this challenging transition.
Starting treatment quickly when troubling symptoms develop leads to better outcomes during and after the menopausal transition. There are two key reasons why seeking timely care matters:
1. Prevents Progressive Worsening of Symptoms
Without therapy, menopause symptoms often amplify over time as hormone levels continue falling. Hot flashes become more frequent and severe. Vaginal atrophy advances. Mood instability and cognitive issues intensify. Early treatment keeps symptoms in check.
2. Reduces Long-Term Health Risks
Depleted estrogen long term raises risks for several serious conditions:
Replacing estrogen/progesterone earlier and adequately protects against these declining health issues before they develop. Don’t wait and hope symptoms will just go away on their own - call us to start feeling better!
Studies show that regular exercise helps reduce menopause symptoms like hot flashes. One study found that sedentary women who participated in aerobic exercise for 30-60 minutes, 4 times a week had significantly fewer and less severe hot flashes compared to inactive women. Exercise helps regulate body temperature and boosts mood, which can ease discomfort during this transition.
Precision hormone testing is crucial for detecting imbalances specific to perimenopause and menopause. At New Beginnings HRT Clinic, we order the appropriate blood, saliva or urine labs to uncover subtleties not apparent on standard screenings. For example, levels can appear “normal” yet still inadequate for eliminating certain symptoms.
We recheck hormone status and biomarkers at follow-up visits to ensure treatment effectiveness. Careful monitoring ensures properly calibrated protocols. We help interpret your results and clearly explain what we’re addressing.
