Expert Care for Perimenopause and Menopause
Perimenopause (the transition to menopause) begin after age 35 and lasts about four to eight years for most women. It’s normal to experience symptoms like weight gain, sleep problems, night sweats, hot flashes, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, mood changes and vaginal dryness. If these changes are negatively impacting your life, our menopause specialists can recommend lifestyle changes and medical treatments to help manage your symptoms.
Menopause occurs after 12 consecutive months without a period – at this point, you’re considered post-menopausal. You may still experience menopause symptoms that affect your emotional, physical and mental health during this time. We’re here to help.

Commonly Asked Questions
Menopause Treatments fall into two main categories:
- Lifestyle Changes: A personalized treatment plan focusing on lifestyle changes including a consistent sleep routine, protein-rich diet and drinking plenty of water can help with symptoms.
- Hormone Replacement Therapy: Also known as Menopause Hormone Therapy, this treatment typically involves a combination of estrogen and progesterone, which can be administered through a pill, skin patch, ring, gel, cream or spray to help control many common symptoms.
For most women younger than 60 or within about 10 years of menopause, the benefits of hormone therapy typically outweigh the risks. The risks associated with hormone therapy can vary based on age, health history, the type and dose of hormones and how they are taken.
For some women with certain medical conditions (hormone-sensitive cancers, a history of specific types of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack), hormone therapy may not be a good option.
Every patient is different, and individual risks and benefits should be discussed with a Trinity Health menopause specialist.
If you’re experiencing symptoms, it’s time to see a Trinity Health menopause specialist, who can evaluate your symptoms and health goals and provide a personalized treatment plan.
