Menopause, as well as the transitional period before it (perimenopause), can bring hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, weight gain, fatigue, and other bothersome symptoms.
Whether you’re just starting perimenopause or are post-menopause and seeking simple ways to feel more like yourself, menopause management is easier than you might think.
Visit our obstetrics and gynecology specialists at Holistic OB/GYN & Midwifery in Spring Valley, New York, for a customized menopause treatment plan that may include natural remedies, medical options, or a combination of both. Here are eight examples.
A balanced meal plan can optimize body weight, energy levels, and mood while minimizing symptoms as you transition to menopause and beyond. Our Holistic OB/GYN & Midwifery experts help you customize a meal plan tailored to your lifestyle, needs, and food preferences.
Staying active before, during, and after menopause can help you better deal with negative symptoms, ease stress and anxiety, and maintain a healthy weight. Choose exercises you enjoy and can stick to in the long term. Examples include walking, yoga, biking, swimming, and playing pickleball or tennis.
Some dietary supplements offer menopause symptom relief or reduce your risk of complications, such as low bone density, brain fog, and depression. Our Holistic OB/GYN & Midwifery experts can help you find natural supplements that are safe and effective for long-term menopause management, keeping your body strong and your mind sharp.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can balance your hormone levels, reducing bothersome symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. You might take birth control pills, use creams, or try shots, patches, or pellets placed underneath your skin.
Our Holistic OB/GYN & Midwifery team helps you find a hormone treatment that’s suitable for you based on your lifestyle, preferences, and medical history.
Not all women are candidates for hormone therapy. That’s why Holistic OB/GYN & Midwifery offers nonhormonal medications to ease menopause symptoms like vaginal dryness, painful sex, hot flashes, and similar concerns.
A good night’s sleep can be difficult due to fluctuating hormones linked to menopause, which is why good sleep hygiene is important. It’s helpful to limit or avoid caffeine and alcohol, especially late in the day.
Create a regular schedule that allows 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Try relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, massage, or a warm bath or shower before bed. Sleep in a cool, quiet, dark room and avoid screen time before bed.
Perimenopause is often linked to unplanned weight gain, which can drain your energy and increase the risk of certain chronic diseases. See our Holistic OB/GYN & Midwifery experts for a personalized medical weight-loss plan if you’re struggling to maintain your target weight.
Urinary incontinence treatments may include things like medications, pelvic floor exercises, injections, medical devices, topical estrogen, or electrical stimulation.
