Menopause is a normal stage in life if you are a woman. Unfortunately, menopause can also cause some uncomfortable changes in your body. Our doctor can help you manage the symptoms of menopause, so you can live your best life.

Dr. John Duque at Innovation Medical Center in Pompano Beach, FL, provides a wide range of medical services, including bio-identical hormone replacement therapy to help you get relief from menopause symptoms.

What Is Menopause?

Menopause signals the end of menstruation and the end of your childbearing years. Your hormone levels will drop, causing some unpleasant signs and symptoms like these:

• Night sweats and hot flashes
• Dry skin and thinning hair
• Loss of breast fullness
• Vaginal dryness
• Depression and mood swings
• Difficulty sleeping and insomnia
• Weight gain from a slowing metabolism

Women experience menopause differently. Some women experience only mild symptoms. Other women go through severe changes and need help to manage their symptoms. That’s where hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, comes in.

At Innovation Medical Center, Dr. Duque prescribes a revolutionary type of HRT, known as bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is identical in structure to human hormones, which provides some important benefits like these:

• Fewer side effects
• Individual, customized dosage
• Long-lasting effects, from three to five months
• A steady stream of hormones in your blood

Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy has been extensively researched and tested for safety and effectiveness. It will also increase bone density and help prevent osteoporosis. Bio-identical HRT won’t increase your risk of blood clots, a heart attack, or a stroke like other hormone replacement products can.

In addition to bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, our doctor may also recommend:

• Antidepressant medication to manage mood swings
• Medications to prevent osteoporosis
• Estrogen cream to reduce vaginal dryness
