Menopause is a natural transition that all women go through as they age. It marks the end of a woman's reproductive years and is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. The average age of menopause is 51, but it can occur anytime between the ages of 40-58.
As a woman approaches menopause, her ovaries begin to produce less of the key hormones - estrogen and progesterone. This fluctuation and eventual decline in hormones causes a variety of bothersome symptoms. Some common symptoms include:
Hormone therapy (HT), also known as menopausal hormone therapy, has been used for decades to help treat menopause symptoms. HT replaces the hormones that the ovaries no longer make after menopause. It is the most effective treatment option for relieving hot flashes and night sweats. HT comes in various forms - pills, skin patches, gels, creams, vaginal rings, or injections.
The experts at Hormone Harmony in Franklin offer advanced hormone therapy to help women enjoy life again after menopause. Consult with one of our caring menopause specialists to determine if HT is right for you.
Many women try to tough it out and endure menopause symptoms believing it is just a phase that will pass. But the truth is, menopause symptoms often persist for years and can significantly impact your quality of life. Ignoring symptoms and not seeking proper menopause treatment can lead to:

Many women are surprised to learn that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be an effective treatment for menopause symptoms. CBT helps women change negative thought patterns and develop coping strategies for issues like hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep problems. Research shows that CBT significantly improves quality of life for women going through menopause without the need for hormones or other medications.
