The strongest and bravest women that you know all probably feared menopause. Why wouldn’t they? Hot flashes, irritability, mood swings, muscle aches, and sleep issues are just a few symptoms associated with this age-related issue that all women struggle with.
The bad news: The symptoms can last for up to 10 years or more.
The good news: We can easily resolve the symptoms
At Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics, we don’t like bad news, so we use every tool and resource available to prevent it.
That’s why we offer bioidentical HRT for menopause in Leawood, so we can (almost indefinitely) pause menopause.
What is menopause?
Menopause refers to the end of a woman’s monthly menstrual cycle. That sounds nice, right? No more tampons, cramps, back pain, and other symptoms associated with periods. Unfortunately, this life stage, which begins in your 40s (perimenopause) and occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, comes with a range of symptoms, including the following:
- Insomnia
- Vaginal discomfort and dryness
- Urinary urgency
- Emotional changes
- Dry skin, eyes, or mouth
- Night sweats
- Hot flashes
- Low sex drive
- Brain fog
And that’s just to name a few. These symptoms happen as your body produces less and less estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. These 3 hormones regulate your mood, sex drive, hair and skin health, weight, and energy.
HRT at Regain
When you come to Regain for hormone testing, we can determine if you’re entering the menopausal stage of your life. Once we receive your results from lab work, we can customize a treatment plan based on your unique biology.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
We only use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to balance your levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. These hormones are more readily used by your body because they have an identical molecular structure to your body’s natural hormones. Derived from plant sources like wild yams, they have fewer side effects than regular pharmaceutical hormone replacement therapy options.
Administration Options
We offer a variety of administration options for BHRT at Regain. Pellets work well, but we highly recommend weekly injections. With this option, we can further customize your treatment to your unique experience and how your body responds to the hormones. Injections also allow for closer monitoring. Although we have our preferences, we always respect your right to choose your treatment option.
Benefits of HRT for Menopause
You’ll find relief from hot flashes, trouble sleeping, and mood swings. You may also notice improvements in your sex life, hair and skin health, and energy levels. To sum it all up, you’ll feel like your old self again.
