Perimenopause & Menopause Care: You’re Not Alone
Perimenopause and menopause are natural stages of life, but that doesn’t mean the changes that come with them are always easy to navigate.
Changes in sleep, mood, focus, menstrual cycles, and body temperature can affect how you feel from day to day. You may find yourself wondering, “Is this normal?” or “Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”
You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
At Southeast Medical Group, we believe women deserve thoughtful, individualized care throughout every stage of life. For women considering hormone therapy, the first step is a conversation with a physician who can help determine whether treatment may be appropriate for them.
Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause
Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause. During this time, hormone levels can fluctuate, and women may experience a variety of physical and emotional changes.
Menopause occurs when menstrual periods have stopped permanently. While every woman’s experience is different, symptoms during the transition can affect everyday life, including:
- Changes in sleep
- Mood changes
- Difficulty concentrating or changes in focus
- Changes in menstrual cycles
- Hot flashes or feelings of increased body temperature
- Other changes that may leave you feeling unlike yourself
These changes can be frustrating, especially when you aren’t sure what is causing them.
The good news? You don't have to simply push through them.
Considering Hormone Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be an option for some women experiencing symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause. However, HRT isn't right for everyone.
That’s why treatment should begin with a thorough medical evaluation and a conversation with your healthcare provider.
Your physician can discuss your symptoms, medical history, health considerations, and treatment goals to help determine what approach may be appropriate for you.
At Southeast Medical Group, physician-guided hormone therapy is available at participating locations for women who may be appropriate candidates for treatment.
Your Care Should Be Personal
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to perimenopause and menopause care.
Your symptoms, health history, concerns, and goals are unique to you. Having an open conversation with your physician can help you better understand what you’re experiencing and explore your options.
Whether you are just beginning to notice changes or have been struggling with symptoms for some time, taking the first step can be as simple as making an appointment.
Feel informed. Feel supported. Find the care that fits.
