What are hormones and how do they affect our bodies?

Hormones are chemical messengers produced by various glands in our bodies. They regulate essential functions like growth, metabolism, and reproduction. Hormones influence mood, energy, and overall well-being.

What role do hormones play in menopause?

Menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. Hormone levels, such as estrogen and progesterone, decline during this phase, leading to various physical and emotional changes.

Are there tests to measure hormone levels during menopause?

Yes, hormone level tests, like FSH and estrogen tests, can help determine if a woman is in menopause or experiencing hormonal imbalances. These tests aid in creating personalized treatment plans.

How can I determine the best approach for managing my menopause?

Consulting a qualified healthcare provider is crucial. They can evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and preferences to develop a personalized treatment plan that suits your needs.
