Support Through Perimenopause, Menopause, and Beyond
Perimenopause, menopause, the postmenopausal years, PCOS: women’s hormones move through more transitions than most healthcare accounts for. Dr. Prieto evaluates estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and inflammation together, because they all need to be managed in concert and treating one in isolation rarely solves the whole picture. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is then tailored to where you are, from the first signs of perimenopause through life after menopause, rather than a one-size regimen.
Hormone changes affect more than how you feel day to day. Estrogen plays a key role in protecting bone, and bone loss speeds up in the years right after menopause. Research suggests that BHRT, started at the right time, may help slow that loss. Dr. Prieto will talk with you about whether it may be a good fit for you.
