Menopause is a natural transition that all women experience as they reach middle age. It marks the end of a woman's reproductive years and is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. The years leading up to menopause are called perimenopause and can start 8-10 years before a woman's last period. This time is marked by fluctuating hormone levels which leads to symptoms like hot flashes, trouble sleeping, vaginal dryness, and mood changes.
While menopause is a natural process, it can significantly impact a woman's quality of life. Proper medical support and treatment of hormone deficiencies during this transition leads to the best possible outcomes.

The most common symptoms associated with menopause include:
If left unchecked, menopause symptoms and declining estrogen levels lead to an array of health risks over time including osteoporosis, heart disease, and neurological conditions like dementia.
The wide-ranging effects of menopause on a woman's health make prompt diagnosis and treatment critically important. Though menopause is unavoidable, addressing hormone deficiencies improves outcomes across the board in areas like:
Our clinic was founded by Dr. Jane Smith, a board certified OB-GYN and leader in menopause treatment and hormone therapy. With over 15 years focused exclusively on midlife women's health, no other provider matches her expertise.
Dr. Smith leads a compassionate team of nurses, medical technicians, and office staff dedicated to supporting women through menopause. We strive to empower patients with knowledge and provide personalized care tailored to their unique needs.
From initial consultations and testing to developing treatment plans, our goal is helping women thrive during the menopausal transition and beyond. We build trusted partnerships with patients for continued care year after year.
Pinpointing hormone deficiencies through testing is the first step toward developing an effective treatment plan. We utilize advanced diagnostic methods only available at top clinics like Balance Hormone Clinic to uncover subtle imbalances other providers may miss.
Blood tests gauging levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA reveal where deficiencies exist. We also test thyroid, cortisol, and vitamin D levels which commonly decline around menopause onset.
Saliva testing confirms blood serum results while providing further insight. Unlike blood tests, saliva assays show real-time cellular hormone levels. This helps determine optimal dosing for hormone replacement therapies.
A tiny rice-sized pellet placed under the skin releases consistent hormone levels over 3-4 months. Follow-up blood tests reveal how the patient responded allowing customization of the therapy.
Accurately assessing a woman's hormone levels is crucial for developing treatments that alleviate symptoms. Many providers use limited testing methods and base therapy on guesswork. Our advanced diagnostics are unmatched in the region.
The right course of treatment addresses hormone deficiencies to resolve troublesome symptoms interfering with work, relationships, sleep, and overall happiness.
We offer a complete range of proven menopause treatment options allowing custom-tailored plans for each woman's needs including:
Bioidentical hormones structurally match hormones made naturally by the body. Derived from plant compounds, these hormones are molecularly identical replacements for declining hormones. Balance Hormone Clinic specializes in bioidentical hormone pellets and creams.
Declining estrogen levels drive most disruptive menopausal symptoms. Our bioidentical 17 beta-estradiol treats hot flashes, vaginal atrophy, urinary issues, and osteoporosis.
Insufficient progesterone exacerbates estrogen deficiency effects and impedes thyroid function. We provide custom compounded creams restoring optimal progesterone levels.
Low testosterone contributes to decreased libido, muscle loss, weight gain, and low energy. Testosterone pellets safely treat deficiencies without masculinizing effects.
DHEA improves collagen production, immune function, cognition, mood, bone density, and heart health. Oral DHEA tablets or sublingual drops restore optimal levels.
Laser therapy stimulates collagen production and cellular healing inside the vagina restoring structure, function, lubrication and sensitivity. A short painless procedure with fast results and no downtime.
Weekly IV vitamin infusions provide maximum absorption for treating deficiencies linked to fatigue, irritability, trouble concentrating, insomonia, and weakened immunity. Results improve general wellbeing.
Vitamins, adaptogens, and nutraceuticals target specific menopause concerns without hormones. Balance Hormone Clinic provides professional grade supplements for hot flashes, night sweats, adrenal support, libido, and much more.
Acupuncture adjustments alleviate menopause symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, and joint pain. Integrating acupuncture with other therapies amplifies benefits.
