Menopause & Women’s Hormone Therapy in Phoenix

Signs Your Hormones May Be Changing

Symptoms vary a lot from one woman to the next. Common ones include:

• Hot flashes
• Trouble sleeping
• Mood changes or irritability
• Brain fog
• Lower libido
• Changes in your cycle during perimenopause

These symptoms can have other causes too, which is why an evaluation and labs come first.

Perimenopause Treatment

Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause, and it can begin years before your periods stop. Because your cycle is still changing, symptoms can be confusing and easy to dismiss. Flor looks at what you’re experiencing, reviews your labs, and talks through whether treatment makes sense now.

Menopause Hormone Replacement Therapy

Menopause is reached after 12 months without a period. Hormone replacement therapy is one option for managing menopause symptoms when it’s appropriate for you, and Flor continues to see women after menopause with regular check-ins so the plan can change as you do.

You may hear the term bioidentical. It means the hormone’s molecular structure matches what your body makes; it doesn’t make a hormone safer or risk-free. Flor will explain each option she offers and how it works.

Your Options: Pellets, Injections, Creams and Pills

• Pellets, placed under the skin with local numbing during an office visit, typically lasting about 4 to 6 months
• Injections
• Creams and other topical options
• Pills

You don’t need to choose before your appointment. Flor will recommend what fits your plan and your routine.
