Menopause is a natural transition that all women go through as they age. The hormonal changes associated with menopause can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and more. While menopause is inevitable, the symptoms don't have to disrupt your life. At Hormone Harmony in Jackson, we offer individualized menopause treatment plans to help women balance their hormones and find relief.
Menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It is diagnosed after 12 months without a menstrual period. Perimenopause is the transitional stage leading up to menopause, which can start years earlier. During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen and progesterone levels decline. This hormonal imbalance is what causes disruptive menopausal symptoms.
The average age for menopause is 51, but it can occur anywhere from 40-58. Every woman's experience is unique. Genetics, lifestyle factors like smoking, cancer treatment, and surgical removal of the ovaries can all accelerate menopause.
For decades, doctors have prescribed hormone therapy to treat menopausal symptoms and help women maintain their quality of life. When initiated close to menopause, hormone therapy has been shown to:
At Hormone Harmony, we offer bioidentical hormone replacements to restore optimal hormone levels and provide women with safe, effective symptom relief.
Our caring menopause specialists in Jackson understand how troubling and disruptive hormonal changes can be. We take time to listen to your concerns and goals. Then we custom formulate treatment plans using cutting-edge hormone testing and innovative therapies.
Accurately assessing your hormone levels is the first step. Our clinic uses advanced saliva and blood tests to measure your individual estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol levels. Thyroid function is also evaluated. This helps us pinpoint any imbalances contributing to your symptoms.
We recheck hormone levels throughout treatment to ensure optimal balance is achieved and maintained long-term. At Hormone Harmony, testing is covered by most major insurance providers.
After testing, we can prescribe a personalized combination of bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and/or cortisol as needed.
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as those made naturally in your body. They are derived from yams and soy plants, modified to match human hormones exactly. This allows precise dosing to restore ideal levels efficiently.
Bioidentical hormones come in many different forms like pills, patches, gels, inserts, shots, and creams. We will explain the options and help determine which route of administration works best for your lifestyle.
Balancing hormones is just one part of feeling your best during menopause. We provide dietary and exercise guidance tailored to your needs for optimal health. Stress management techniques and natural supplements can further help alleviate symptoms.
Regular follow-ups allow us to track your progress and adjust treatment accordingly. We are committed to addressing all your concerns and being available to answer any questions along the way.
