Menopause brings significant changes in your body. Your ovaries gradually stop producing the hormone estrogen. The level of other hormones in your body also declines.<\/p>\n<p>Because these changes can be significant, it\u2019s a good time to consult with Dr. Greenspan to manage the symptoms of menopause. She may recommend tests, such as a bone density evaluation to assess your risk for osteoporosis. Although women start losing bone in their 30s, the process speeds up after you\u2019re in menopause.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What are the symptoms of menopause?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Each woman\u2019s experience with menopause is unique. In the run-up to menopause, you may experience certain perimenopausal symptoms. These include but aren\u2019t limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hot flashes<\/li>\n<li>Insomnia<\/li>\n<li>Tiredness<\/li>\n<li>Vaginal dryness, burning, or pain<\/li>\n<li>Irritability<\/li>\n<li>Memory problems<\/li>\n<li>Less desire for sex<\/li>\n<li>Incontinence<\/li>\n<li>Weight gain<\/li>\n<li>Change in your menstrual cycles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Up to half of postmenopausal women notice their vaginal health has changed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How is menopause treated?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Greenspan performs a physical exam and takes a detailed health history to understand the symptoms you\u2019re experiencing. As a certified menopause practitioner, she provides specialized experience in menopause management.<\/p>\n<p>She discusses options, such as hormone replacement therapy to make up for the loss of estrogen and to alleviate your menopausal symptoms. You may take the hormones in a variety of ways, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creams<\/li>\n<li>Pills<\/li>\n<li>Patches<\/li>\n<li>Sprays<\/li>\n<li>Gels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A vaginal ring also can deliver hormones throughout your body. Your recommended treatment depends on certain factors, including whether or not you still have a uterus.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How is vaginal dryness treated in menopause?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re less interested in sex due to vaginal dryness, Dr. Greenspan offers a noninvasive, non-hormonal laser therapy called MonaLisa Touch. The treatment is performed in the office, requires no downtime, and produces only minimal side effects.<\/p>\n<p>MonaLisa Touch uses laser energy to stimulate a healing response in your vaginal tissues. The treatment takes only five minutes. Dr. Greenspan generally recommends three procedures staggered over 18 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>If you think you\u2019re in menopause and are experiencing uncomfortable changes in your health and well-being, you can rely on Dr. Greenspan for specialized care.
