Menopause signals a natural transition in a woman's life, marking the end of her reproductive years. The years leading up to menopause, known as perimenopause, is the time when hormone levels begin to fluctuate and decline. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, trouble sleeping, and mood changes.
While menopause is a natural process, the symptoms can significantly impact quality of life. The good news is that safe and effective treatment options are available to relieve symptoms and help women feel like themselves again.
Vitality Hormone Center provides personalized care and treatment plans tailored specifically for each patient based on lab testing and a comprehensive health evaluation.
Some key benefits of treatment at our Sn Jose clinic include:
The first step is having an initial consultation. We will obtain health and family histories and discuss symptoms and goals for treatment.
Next, baseline hormone blood tests are performed to evaluate levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. These lab tests allow us to gain important insight prior to developing an individualized treatment plan.
Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to go over lab test results, examination findings, and make adjustments to treatment plans when necessary. The duration needed for treatment is variable, and we support patients through the different stages—perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.
Our providers and staff strive to make visits as comfortable and supportive as possible. We understand this can be a vulnerable time and work collaboratively with patients on their treatment plans.
Bioidentical hormone therapy has grown in popularity due to research showing positive effects on menopausal symptoms with a favorable safety profile.
Some key points about bioidentical hormones:
Our providers can explain the differences between various types of hormones and help determine which may be most appropriate. We also provide thorough education and information to support patients in making informed decisions about their treatment plans.
Vitality Hormone Center believes restoring hormone balance positively impacts not just physical symptoms, but also mood, energy levels, sleep quality and overall quality of life. We empower women to take charge during this transition and achieve wellness.
Our team looks forward to supporting you through the changes ahead. We encourage you to schedule a consultation to discuss your health history and specific needs. Together, we'll find solutions to help you feel healthy, vibrant and like yourself again during the menopausal transition and beyond.
