Menopause is an inevitable stage in every woman’s life, marking the end of reproductive years. But with menopause come accompanying symptoms that can be challenging and overwhelming; hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and other distressful issues that impact one’s quality of life can become burdensome and debilitating.

Our expert providers design every BHRT treatment around each patient’s unique concerns and distinct biology, considering factors such as blood results, health history, and personal goals. By restoring and balancing your hormone levels, our BHRT treatment center aims to help you regain a heightened sense of well-being, boosted energy levels, improved moods, increased libido, and more natural weight loss and muscle tone development.
Menopause usually begins between 45 and 55 years of age; however, it can occur earlier or later than this range. Menopause is defined by an absence of menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months – signifying an end of ovarian function and significant declines in estrogen and progesterone production. Menopause brings with it a variety of symptoms that can significantly lower the quality of life for women. Hot flashes, sudden and intense feelings of warmth that typically start in the face, neck, or chest and spread throughout the body. Night sweats – severe hot flashes occurring while sleeping – may result in night-wetting which disrupts sleep patterns significantly. Mood swings, marked by emotional instability such as irritability, anxiety, and depression, can often be worsened by hormonal fluctuations. Vaginal dryness is another frequent complaint as decreased estrogen levels cause vaginal tissues to thin and dry out, leading to discomfort during intercourse and pain during sleep. Weight gain is another cause for concern during menopause, with fluctuations in metabolism and hormone levels contributing to weight gain around the abdomen area. All these symptoms demonstrate how hormonal fluctuations have an enormous impact during this life-stage transition.
BHRT uses chemically identical hormones derived from plant estrogens and designed to match the molecular structures of naturally produced human hormones, for more natural and safer management of menopausal symptoms than traditional therapies which use synthetic or animal-derived hormones. Available as pills, patches, creams, gels, and injections allowing flexible treatment plans tailored specifically for each individual.
Hot flashes and night sweats are two of the most uncomfortable symptoms associated with menopause. These vasomotor symptoms occur as your body adjusts to declining estrogen levels affecting your hypothalamus – the part of the brain responsible for body temperature regulation. But BHRT may help by increasing estrogen levels to stabilize hypothalamic function and reduce hot flashes/night sweats frequency and intensity; many women report significant relief once starting on BHRT; this in turn results in improved comfort/better quality sleep quality/more comfort/better overall quality/.
Hormonal fluctuations during menopause can have a dramatic impact on one’s emotional stability and mood. Estrogen is essential in regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin that influence mood, sleep quality, and overall mental well-being; replenishing estrogen levels through BHRT helps restore these neurotransmitter balance and reduce mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and depression. Women undergoing BHRT typically report feeling more stable and positive as they go through menopausal symptoms resulting in improved quality of life during menopause.
Vaginal Dryness is an often distressing symptom of menopause, caused by reduced estrogen levels which lead to decreased vaginal tissue thickness and elasticity, often causing discomfort, itching, and pain during intercourse. BHRT therapy can restore estrogen levels locally or systemically for improved vaginal tissue health – relieving dryness and discomfort as well as improving sexual function and intimacy, thus improving overall sexual health and satisfaction.
Sleep issues during menopause are frequently reported due to night sweats and hormonal shifts, compounding other symptoms like mood swings and fatigue into a cycle of discomfort and distress. By targeting any hormonal imbalances that might be interfering with restful slumber, BHRT can improve quality sleep patterns for women, leading them to wake up feeling refreshed and rested each morning.
Menopause often leads to changes in metabolism that cause weight gain around the abdomen, frustrating many women and increasing risk for various health conditions. But BHRT can help balance hormone levels to make maintaining a healthy weight easier – complementing this therapy with balanced eating and regular physical activity can support metabolic health during menopause and support its management through this life stage.
One of the primary advantages of BHRT therapy at Body Symmetry MD is its personalized approach. Each plan is tailor-made to the unique needs and health profile of each patient – including comprehensive hormone level testing, health history review, personal goals considerations, and consideration of personal preferences.
