Hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, mood swings, brain fog, low libido, and weight gain/loss can all be part of menopause.
As hormone levels shift, sleep, mood, metabolism, libido, and mental clarity can all change with them. That is why menopause can feel bigger than one symptom. It is not only hot flashes. It can affect how you feel day to day.
If symptoms of menopause are severe enough to affect a your quality of life, hormone replacement therapy is the option.
When symptoms are affecting daily life, waiting days or weeks for lab results can delay care and relief. We run hormone labs, review the results with you the same day, and use that information to build a treatment plan around your body and your symptoms.
