Menopause Q&A

What is menopause?

Menopause is a natural life transition that signals the end of a woman’s childbearing years and their monthly periods. To be considered in menopause, your period must stop for at least 12 consecutive months.

Perimenopause describes the months or years that lead up to menopause. During this time, your hormone levels begin to decline, and you can experience symptoms that range from mild to severe, which may disrupt your quality of life.

Eveskare offers comprehensive menopause care for women who need help navigating a natural menopause transition and those who experience early menopause due to underlying medical conditions, cancer treatments, or surgery.

Dr. Panchamukhi takes a compassionate approach to managing your symptoms. She also provides care plans to optimize your wellness during your postmenopausal years.

When should I schedule a menopause consultation?

Some women transition to menopause without any noticeable issues. If you experience uncomfortable menopause symptoms, schedule a diagnostic evaluation at Eveskare.

Dr. Panchamukhi can address symptoms like:

  • Hair loss
  • Hot flashes
  • Night sweats
  • Irregular periods
  • Heavy periods
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Low sex drive
  • Sleep disruptions
  • Unexpected weight gain
  • Anxiety and depression

Blood tests are available in-office to evaluate your reproductive hormone levels and rule out underlying medical issues. Dr. Panchamukhi may also perform a pelvic exam to check the overall health of your reproductive organs.

How are menopause symptoms managed?

As you near the end of your childbearing years, your body slows down its production of reproductive hormones like estrogen. Because these hormones help regulate many of your body’s functions, their decline can lead to physical, emotional, and mental health issues.

The goal of managing menopause symptoms is to restore balance in your hormone levels. Eveskare offers customized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) plans to supplement your natural hormone levels with synthetic hormones.

Dr. Panchamukhi tailors HRT to your unique health challenges. She can recommend pills, creams, pellets, or other methods that deliver a steady stream of hormones into your body to ease hot flashes, boost your libido, and relieve vaginal irritation.

Additional resources are available to support your overall health during your postmenopausal years. Dr. Panchamukhi can recommend lifestyle and diet changes you can make to maintain a healthy weight and enjoy an active, happy life.
