MENOPAUSE
MENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS
Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life.
During menopause, the decrease in estrogen and progesterone production leads to various symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats.
•     The risk of osteoporosis increases during menopause, making bones more fragile.
•     Weakening of pelvic muscles may cause urinary incontinence.
•     Sleep disturbances such as insomnia or frequent waking are common.
•     Anxiety, depression, and mood swings are frequently experienced during menopause. Memory problems and difficulty concentrating may also occur.
•     Additionally, the skin becomes thinner and drier, and wrinkles may increase.
•     Hair thinning and loss may be observed.
•     Slower metabolism makes weight gain easier.
•     The loss of estrogen’s protective effect may increase the risk of heart disease.
Menopause affects each person differently, and symptoms can negatively impact quality of life.
Nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes play an important role in reducing these effects.

**What is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?**

Bioidentical hormone therapy is a specialized treatment that employs hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the human body. Unlike synthetic hormones, which may differ in structure and function, bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are formulated to match the hormone levels found in individuals. 

This therapy is predominantly used to alleviate a range of symptoms associated with menopause, including:

- **Night Sweats:** Episodes of excessive sweating during sleep that can disrupt rest and impact overall well-being.

- **Hot Flashes:** Sudden feelings of warmth, often accompanied by sweating and discomfort, which can occur at any time of day.

- **Vaginal Dryness:** A condition that can lead to discomfort during sexual activity and may be associated with reduced vaginal lubrication.

- **Urinary Urgency and Incontinence:** An increased need to urinate that can occur suddenly, along with involuntary leakage of urine.

- **Osteoporosis:** A decrease in bone density that increases the risk of fractures and other complications.

By restoring hormone levels to a more balanced state, bioidentical hormone therapy aims to significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals experiencing these menopause-related symptoms.
