What's Happening

What's Happening During Perimenopause & Menopause

As estrogen and progesterone decline — often starting years before your final period — nearly every system in the body is affected: temperature regulation, mood, sleep, bone density, and metabolism.

The symptoms can start gradually and be easy to dismiss, but they don't have to be managed with willpower alone. Hormone levels can be tested and treated directly.

Common Perimenopause & Menopause Symptoms

Hot flashes and night sweats
Sleep disruption or insomnia
Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability
Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Weight gain, especially around the midsection
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
How We Approach It

Hormone Levels That Match Your Actual Labs

Bio-identical hormone therapy, tailored to your actual lab results — not a standard dose. We measure your hormone levels, review your full history, and build a plan around what your body needs.

Physician Insight

"Menopause symptoms get treated as something to just push through more often than almost anything else I see in women's health. They're measurable and they're treatable — patients don't have to just wait it out."

Common Questions

Menopause FAQs

What patients ask most before their first appointment.

Hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood changes, vaginal dryness, weight gain, and brain fog are among the most common. Symptoms often begin gradually during perimenopause, years before periods stop completely.
Bio-identical hormone therapy has a strong safety record when properly prescribed and monitored. Dr. Abbott reviews your full health history and runs comprehensive labs before recommending treatment, and monitors your levels regularly throughout.
There's no single right time — it depends on your symptoms and your labs. Many women start during perimenopause when symptoms first become disruptive, rather than waiting until periods stop entirely. A consultation will help determine what's right for you.
