When your body stops releasing eggs and your menstrual cycles cease for one year, you’ve reached menopause. If the hormonal changes associated with menopause are disrupting your life, contact Capital Women's Care Howard County for expert menopause care.
The time of a woman’s life that is often referred to as menopause combines perimenopause, which is the time when your body’s hormone production begins to decrease, and menopause itself, which is when your menstrual cycles have completely stopped.
During perimenopause, you may begin to experience menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, weight gain, and mood irregularities. These symptoms are caused by a decrease in your estrogen levels. Each woman has a unique experience with menopause. The symptoms develop on a spectrum and you may have some, none, or all of them.
Menopausal symptoms may include:
The doctors at Capital Women’s Care offer customized treatments and lifestyle advice to minimize your menopause symptoms and help you get back to your normal activities.
Like many women, you may benefit from lifestyle modifications to change your diet and exercise habits. Often these changes not only help you lose weight and sleep better but also help relieve some of the emotional swings of menopause. You may also be a candidate for hormone replacement therapy or other interventions to help relieve your symptoms.
You should make an appointment with the expert OB/GYNs at Capital Women’s Care if your menopause symptoms are disrupting your life. With personalized treatment and advice, we can help relieve your symptoms and help you feel like yourself again!
