Understanding Menopause Symptoms
Perimenopause and menopause can affect far more than your cycle. Many women experience sudden changes in their body, mood, sleep, and sense of self. This is often without warning, and too often without answers.
These symptoms are real. They’re common. And they’re treatable.
Physical Symptoms
Bodily changes that disrupt your daily comfort and wellbeing
Hot Flashes & Night Sweats
Sudden waves of heat that can disrupt your day and leave you feeling drained, or intense sweating at night that ruins your sleep and impacts the next day.
Why It Happens
Declining estrogen affects your body's temperature regulation, causing sudden heat sensations and nighttime sweating episodes.
How We Can Help
Estradiol patches that provide controlled, continuous hormone delivery through the skin, or custom-compounded estradiol creams. Hormone therapy is the most effective treatment for hot flashes and night sweats.
Sleep Disruption
Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early leaves you exhausted and unable to function at your best.
Why it Happens
Hormone changes affect sleep architecture and body temperature, while anxiety can further interfere with rest.
How We Can Help
Bioidentical progesterone capsules with calming and sleep-promoting benefits (we recommend taking before bedtime), combined with estradiol therapy when appropriate.
Heart Palpitations
Racing or irregular heartbeats that can feel alarming but are often related to hormonal changes.
Why It Happens
Estrogen fluctuations can affect heart rhythm and blood vessel function, leading to noticeable heartbeat changes.
How We Can Help
Comprehensive evaluation followed by custom-compounded hormone therapy when appropriate. Estradiol patches or creams provide steady hormone levels that can help stabilize symptoms.
Joint Pain & Stiffness
Aching joints and morning stiffness that isn't just "getting older" but may be hormone-related inflammation.
Why It Happens
Estrogen has anti-inflammatory properties. Declining levels can lead to increased joint inflammation and discomfort.
How We Can Help
Custom-compounded estradiol therapy (patches, creams, or combination creams with progesterone) to reduce inflammation and improve joint comfort.
Hair Thinning & Skin Changes
Noticeable hair loss or dry, less elastic skin that shows visible changes and affects confidence.
Why It Happens
Shifting hormone ratios affect hair growth, while declining estrogen reduces skin collagen and moisture.
How We Can Help
Custom hair loss solution with minoxidil, estriol renew face cream for skin hydration and elasticity, plus systemic hormone therapy to support overall hair and skin health.
Sexual Health Symptoms
Changes in intimacy, comfort, and sexual wellbeing
Low Libido
Your interest in sex has disappeared. It's not about stress or your relationship—your body just doesn't respond the way it used to.
Why It Happens
Testosterone levels decline with age in women. This hormonal change can significantly impact sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction.
How We Can Help
Custom testosterone cream, formulated specifically for women. Our topical cream offers precise dosing and flexibility. Most women notice improvement within 3-4 weeks.
Arousal & Orgasm Difficulties
You're interested, but your body isn't responding. Orgasms feel less intense, take longer, or sometimes don't happen at all.
Why It Happens
Declining testosterone affects physical arousal and sexual response. Combined with estrogen changes, this can significantly impact intimate experiences.
How We Can Help
Custom testosterone therapy with ongoing monitoring by women's health experts. We also address vaginal health with estradiol vaginal cream and testosterone cream when needed, taking a comprehensive approach to restore sexual function and satisfaction. We also provide a topical arousal cream that is applied 15-30 minutes before intimacy. Our cream's main active ingredient is sildenafil, which increases localized blood flow to enhance sensitivity, lubrication and sensation. This cream is often a good starting point.
Vaginal Dryness & Discomfort
Dryness and irritation that makes intercourse painful, affecting intimacy and quality of life.
Why It Happens
Reduced estrogen causes vaginal tissue thinning and decreased lubrication, leading to dryness and discomfort during intimacy.
How We Can Help
Low-dose estradiol vaginal cream that works directly where applied to restore moisture, rebuild tissue, and restore healthy pH. All with minimal systemic absorption. Often prescribed alongside testosterone therapy for complete sexual wellness.
Psychological Symptoms
Mental and emotional changes that affect how you feel and think
Mood Changes
Irritability, anxiety, and depression that feel out of character and difficult to manage, affecting relationships and quality of life.
Why It Happens
Estrogen and progesterone directly impact neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA, affecting mood regulation.
How We Can Help
Custom-compounded hormone therapy including bioidentical progesterone capsules (with calming effects) and estradiol patches or creams to support mental and emotional wellbeing.
Brain Fog
Memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, and mental cloudiness that impact work performance and daily tasks.
Why It Happens
Estrogen plays a key role in cognitive function. Declining levels affect memory formation, focus, and mental clarity.
How We Can Help
Estradiol therapy through patches or creams that bypass the digestive system for consistent hormone delivery. We personalize dosing to optimize cognitive function and mental clarity.
Estriol Face Cream
Custom anti-aging cream combines estriol and tretinoin to restore youthful skin. Improves collagen, texture, and hydration during menopause.
Testosterone for Women
Restore sexual desire and satisfaction with custom testosterone therapy. Safe, monitored treatment from women's health experts.
Estradiol Vaginal Cream
Low-dose vaginal estradiol cream restores moisture, rebuilds tissue, and relieves dryness. It works directly where needed with minimal absorption.
