Navigating Menopause and Perimenopause: Understanding the Transition
Menopause and perimenopause are natural stages in a woman’s life that mark the end of her reproductive years. While these transitions are a normal part of aging, they can bring about a range of physical and emotional changes. At FemCare OB/GYN, we specialize in providing expert care and support for women during this important phase of life.
Early Signs and Symptoms
Perimenopause, also known as the menopausal transition, typically begins several years before menopause. During this time, a woman’s ovaries gradually produce less estrogen, leading to irregular menstrual cycles and other symptoms. Common signs and symptoms of perimenopause and menopause include:
- Irregular periods
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Sleep disturbancesM
- ood changes
- Vaginal dryness
- Changes in libido
- Weight gain
- Headaches
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and SottoPelle
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a common treatment option for managing the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. HRT involves replacing the hormones (estrogen and sometimes progesterone) that the body no longer produces in adequate amounts. This can help alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.
At FemCare OB/GYN, we offer SottoPelle as a form of hormone replacement therapy. SottoPelle involves the insertion of bioidentical hormone pellets under the skin, which release hormones into the bloodstream as needed. This method provides a consistent level of hormones and can be an effective treatment option for managing menopausal symptoms.

OUR SERVICES
Gynecology is the field of medicine that deals extensively with female reproductive health. Unlike obstetrics that takes care of pregnant women, gynecology usually treats women who are not pregnant. Gynecology comprises examinations, tests, and procedures that involve the female reproductive organs – vagina, ovaries, uterus, as well as the breasts.
Although gynecology and obstetrics are closely related, they cover different medical fields. While gynecology mostly treats women of all ages who have various health issues, obstetrics deals with pregnant women and their health conditions.
The term adolescent comes from the Latin word adolescere which means to transition into adulthood, or simply to grow up. Adolescence is a bio-physical-social stadium of development between childhood and adulthood.
