Menopausal Support

Perimenopause marks a woman’s transition from her reproductive years into menopause, characterized by fluctuations in menstrual cycles and hormone levels. These changes often bring about various symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, weight gain, depression, incontinence, vaginal dryness, and decreased sex drive. Naturopathic treatments prioritize patient-centered care to address both the mental and physical aspects of these symptoms.

 

Even as women transition into menopause, perimenopausal symptoms may persist. During this stage, the risk of certain diseases, including osteoporosis, heart disease, and certain cancers, rises. In response, our focus extends beyond symptom management to encompass proper screening, preventative health measures, and risk factor modification, empowering patients to attain optimal health and well-being.

Pelvic Pain

Chronic pelvic pain is prevalent among women of reproductive age. Unfortunately, diagnosis and treatment are often lengthy and challenging processes for women, leaving many of them feeling helpless, alone, and frustrated. Vulvodynia, or vulvar pain, is a specific kind of vaginal pain that affects up to 16% of women. Many women who experience this particular kind of pain discover that it greatly interferes with both their personal relationships and their everyday activities (such as sitting, walking, and exercising). Finding the source of the pain and enhancing quality of life are two goals of an integrative pain management strategy.

Typical reasons for pelvic pain that are treated include:
  • Chronic yeast infections
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Interstitial cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome
  • Pelvic Adhesions
  • Myofascial pain
