How can women’s health address menopause symptoms?

Menopause is a natural time of transition that begins at the end of a woman’s reproductive life. As hormone production declines, a number of changes occur, including:

• Weight gain
• Irritability
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Headaches
• Brain fog
• Fatigue
• Vaginal dryness

Hormone replacement therapy helps improve these issues by delivering high-quality, bioidentical supplemental hormones to restore proper balance. 

What kinds of issues are addressed within women’s health?

Women’s health visits focus primarily on reproductive health issues, although your practitioner also discusses some overall health issues that affect women at high rates. You can make the most of these visits by being as open and honest with your practitioner as possible. 

Some of the issues you can address during women’s health visits include:

• Urinary tract infection
• Family planning and birth control
• Sexually transmitted disease prevention, screening, and treatment
• Abnormal bleeding
• Pelvic pain
• Vaginitis and other infections
• Abnormal pap smear results
• Menopause symptoms
• Reduced sex drive

Your women’s health needs shift and change over time. By partnering with a practitioner you can trust, getting the screenings and care you need is easy. Feel free to ask questions, express concerns, and explore various treatment options during your women’s health visit. 

How can women’s health improve overall sexual health?

A healthy sex life is an essential part of overall health and wellness. There is no need to accept declining desire or sexual fulfillment as normal. Some treatments can enhance this part of your life. 

The O-Shot® is a prime example. This injection delivers platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into your labia, clitoris, or vaginal tissues. PRP is created from a small sample of your blood and works to promote new cell and tissue growth in the treatment area. 

Treatments enhance sensitivity, improve vaginal lubrication, and help make sex more enjoyable for women. It’s also helpful in treating lichen sclerosis, lichen planus, and other conditions.
