Menopause Help at Women’s Health Practice

The menopausal change in hormones can cause a distressing dip in quality of life as you age.

This leads many patients to WHP after searching for the guidance of a menopause specialist in Champaign, IL. Luckily, with our experience in women’s health and holistic medicine, you have options. Your hormone imbalances and symptoms can be addressed with a number of clinical, natural or alternative therapies.

What it Treats

Hot Flashes

During menopause, many women experience fluctuations in hormone levels resulting in the vasomotor symptoms of hot flashes, night sweats, and temperature fluctuations (including chilling). Our care team can develop a personalized approach to managing the frequency and intensity of these fluctuations.

Low Libido & Sex Drive

Vaginal atrophy, tightness, dryness, pain during sex, decreased arousal, and loss of sexual desire are common issues caused by hormonal changes. We offer state-of-the-art technology to relieve symptoms at our medical spa, including ThermiVa, Emsella, and MonaLisa Touch.

Hormone Imbalance

The hormonal imbalance of estrogen and progesterone causes stressful symptoms during the onset of menopause. We have a vast amount of experience and expertise on hormonal management of menopause.

Weight Gain

Menopause, hormones, and changes in diet and exercise as you age are common contributors to abdominal weight gain, but a number of treatments are available.

Brain Fog

Hormone changes are a common reason for women to experience a dip in cognitive function, commonly termed “brain fog.” Estrogen therapy helps to regrow brain neurons, and preserve immune function, actions that prevent cognitive decline. In addition to hormone therapy, there are several other natural ways to improve brain health! Research indicates it’s important to incorporate resistance to maximize the powers of our brain, consider trying classes at Hatha Yoga and Fitness.

Fatigue

Sleep issues and insomnia can be a result of the changes in our hormones and bodies’ overall needs as we age. Fatigue can contribute to a number of other symptoms, so addressing the source of the problem is important.

Depression

Though medical science has not completely revealed the full role hormones play, we know that a hormonal imbalance can often cause difficulties with low mood, mood fluctuations, irritability and distress.

Hair Loss

Estrogen and progesterone contribute to hair growth, so a drop in our body’s production of these hormones can cause thinning of hair, loss of volume, texture change due to slowing of hair growth, and hair loss. Simultaneously, the sensitivity of your hair follicle to male hormones can shift, accelerating hair changes through menopause. We help you understand and navigate through these changes.

Irregular Bleeding

As menopause begins, menstrual cycle changes also begin. Understanding if you are still ovulating, and confirming there are no active gynecologic issues such as uterine fibroids or endometrial polyps, is important. Often, we only need to monitor these cycle variations.

Bone Loss

As menopause begins, the loss of estrogen and testosterone can lead to gradual bone loss. This can contribute to bone weakening and fractures, joint and ligament deterioration, and contribute to a lack of muscle vitality. Treatments, including Vitamin D and calcium, may have to be augmented with medication for optimal health.

Painful Periods

As you go through your last menstrual cycles during perimenopause, an increase in pain during menstruation can happen. It’s important however, to rule out other underlying causes in treatment for this kind of symptom.
