Menopause is a natural transition that all women experience as they age. The years leading up to menopause are referred to as perimenopause. During this time, women's bodies begin producing less of the key female hormones - estrogen and progesterone. This reduction in hormones causes a variety of bothersome symptoms. After menopause, hormone levels remain low.
The average age of menopause is 51, but it can occur anytime between the ages of 40 and 58. Every woman experiences menopause differently. The various signs and symptoms are caused by changes in estrogen and progesterone levels. These can significantly impact quality of life.
Fortunately, solutions exist to help women manage troublesome menopausal symptoms. Hormone therapy can provide relief by replacing low hormones. When initiated close to menopause, hormone treatment may also provide protective health benefits.
At Renew Medical HRT Clinic, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement tailored to your unique needs. Our compassionate medical team has extensive experience optimizing hormone levels to help women enjoy excellent health and vitality long after menopause.
Fluctuating and declining hormones affect every woman differently. Many experience moderate symptoms that come and go. For others, the impact can be more severe and persistent, disrupting work, relationships, and overall wellbeing.
Menopause symptoms may include:
These common symptoms are related to changes in circulation and temperature control:
Vasomotor instability can range from mild to severe. Episodes may last for years, causing discomfort, sleep loss and embarrassment.
Declining estrogen affects tissues in the urethra, bladder wall and vagina, leading to:
Estrogen and progesterone influence neurotransmitters that affect mood, cognition and behavior:
Hormone changes during the menopause transition can also trigger or worsen depression and anxiety in some women.
Additional problematic signs of menopause include:
The wide range of menopause symptoms clearly demonstrates how much impact estrogen and progesterone have throughout the body. Restoring balance can renew health and vitality.
In addition to bothersome symptoms that impact quality of life, lowering hormones after menopause increases risks for certain chronic health conditions.
Estrogen helps protect cardiovascular health by keeping arteries flexible and blocking accumulation of plaque. Women lose this protective effect after menopause. Risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke, increases significantly.
The risk of developing osteoporosis and bone fractures also accelerates after menopause due to declines in bone-protective estrogen. This can lead to stooped posture, loss of height and bone pain.
Studies also link menopause hormone changes to increased likelihood of memory impairment, vision issues and neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's disease.
Addressing hormone imbalance through timely treatment can help minimize risks and safeguard future health.
Renew Medical HRT Clinic specializes in optimizing hormone levels through customized bioidentical hormone therapy tailored to your unique needs. We help women identify their ideal hormone restoration plan based on:
We thoroughly assess your hormone blood tests to pinpoint imbalances. This helps guide precise treatment plans.
Genetic characteristics provide insight on how you metabolize and respond to different types of hormone therapy.
Your provider will have an in-depth conversation to identify your unique set of signs and symptoms to track response to treatment over time.
We carefully consider your medical history, risk factors and preferences when designing an integrated plan.
Elements like diet, exercise, stress levels and exposures impact hormone needs and how you may respond to therapy.
At Renew Medical HRT Clinic, no two treatment plans ever look alike because no two women are alike when it comes to hormone status and needs. We spend extensive time listening and designing a holistic hormone restoration protocol tailored to your unique requirements.

Studies show that regular moderate exercise like walking, yoga or tai chi can significantly relieve many symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, insomnia, and mood changes. Simple lifestyle adjustments without drugs can provide real benefits for the nearly 1.3 billion women worldwide going through "the change."
Renew Medical HRT Clinic providers have advanced training in multiple approaches to bioidentical hormone restoration:
Body-identical estrogen is delivered through:
Estrogen helps relieve hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal atrophy, bone loss and other symptoms.

Small doses of bioidentical testosterone help address:
We can deliver low-dose testosterone via skin gels/creams or sublingual drops.
Nutrient imbalances may aggravate menopause symptoms and health risks. We thoroughly evaluate levels of key micronutrients and provide customized supplementation if deficiencies exist.
Renew Medical HRT Clinic providers dynamically adjust formulations, doses and delivery methods over time to keep your hormone levels optimized as you continue to age. We work closely with you to fine-tune your treatment plan based on evolving needs and symptom response.
Frequent follow-up and lab testing ensure your hormone therapy achieves maximum benefits while minimizing risks. We utilize the lowest effective doses and cycles hormones on and off as appropriate.
Many women tough out troublesome menopause symptoms for years before seeking treatment. Some are misinformed that hormone therapy is unsafe or that enduring problems is "just part of aging".
At Renew Medical HRT Clinic, we educate patients that restoring hormones closer to the onset of menopause provides significant advantages:
Starting hormone therapy within 5 years of menopause offers maximum benefits. Renew Medical HRT Clinic providers have the expertise to fully customize treatments for optimal safety and efficacy when introduced in early menopause.
While benefits decline the longer treatment is delayed, it's never too late to balance hormones. Even long after menopause, therapy can still help provide meaningful improvements.
