Menopause is a natural transition that all women go through as they age, marking the end of the reproductive years. The average age for menopause onset is 51, but it can happen anytime between the ages of 45-55. As estrogen levels decline during perimenopause and menopause, women may experience symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, trouble sleeping, mood changes, weight gain, and more.
While menopause is inevitable, the symptoms don't have to disrupt your life. Hormone therapy can provide safe and effective relief through customized treatment plans. Balance Hormone Center offers cutting-edge care for women in Augusta looking to find balance and optimize wellbeing during this transition.
The first step is to meet with one of our certified menopause practitioners for a comprehensive evaluation. We check follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol levels to determine menopausal status. Other relevant labs help us assess things like thyroid function, cortisol levels, vitamin D, and more.
Once we understand your hormonal landscape, we can create a custom therapy plan using bioidentical hormones. These are made to match your own hormones exactly, providing targeted relief.
> "Our goal is to help women thrive during menopause and beyond with personalized care and optimal hormone balance."
Treatment plans may include:
We offer patch, cream, pellet, and other delivery methods for convenience and steady hormone levels. Most women find rapid relief within 1-2 weeks. We monitor your progress through follow up visits and labs, modifying the plan as needed.
Balancing hormones is only one part of feeling your best during menopause. We provide holistic support by making lifestyle recommendations individualized to your needs:
With combined hormone optimization and lifestyle changes, most women find complete relief from menopause symptoms.
Augusta's climate provides for comfortable outdoor activities year-round which supports hormone therapy. However, hot and humid summers can exacerbate hot flashes and night sweats for some women. We suggest lighter bioidentical hormone dosing in summer with adjustments in winter as needed.
The area offers many options to reduce stress and promote relaxation while undergoing treatment:
We also partner with labs, pharmacies, mental health providers, and specialists for comprehensive care during this transition and beyond:
A little-known menopause treatment that has emerged in recent years is mindfulness meditation. Studies show that mindfulness practices like breath focus, body scans, and gratitude journaling can significantly reduce menopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, and anxiety. Meditation's ability to lower stress and promote relaxation makes it a simple yet surprisingly effective complementary therapy for menopause.
