Menopause Care

Menopause is a normal life transition for most people with ovaries. Some enter menopause because of surgery, chemotherapy, or other medical conditions. While many find their menopausal and postmenopausal years to be productive and happy, some notice hormone-related physical and mental effects. And of course, aging contributes its own set of changes during this period.

Those who experience the menopause transition may live a third or more of their lives after menopause or in post menopause. It is therefore important to be knowledgeable about strategies to manage hormone-related symptoms and to optimize overall health during these years.

Menopause Care Providers

Many primary care providers (PCP’s) can help with issues related to menopause and midlife health.

OB/GYN clinicians have expertise and experience in managing perimenopause and menopause. This includes managing symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood disturbances, vaginal discomfort, sexual dysfunction (including low desire); exploration of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT); and evaluation of gynecologic issues such as abnormal uterine bleeding and painful intercourse. Menopause care with one of our OB/GYN providers is available at all OB/GYN locations.

Menopause Consultation Service

If your symptoms or experience with perimenopause and menopause are creating problems and issues beyond the scope of a typical gynecology practice, your OB/GYN provider may refer you to our Menopause Consultation Service (MCS). During a telehealth consultation, and with particular attention to your individual concerns, the MCS specialist will develop a plan for your menopause management and communicate it to you and your referring clinicians for ongoing treatment support. They will be available to consult as needed to evaluate and adjust your treatment plan going forward.

Menopause consultation services are primarily virtual.
