What is Menopause?

As women, we all know that at some point, we will stop undergoing menstruation. This process has been scientifically coined as menopause. However, what exactly happens during menopause, and when does it begin? Menopause occurs when the ovaries stop producing the high levels of female reproductive hormones needed to release an egg and prepare the body for pregnancy. The main hormone that sees a major shift is estrogen. As estrogen levels begin to drop off, you may experience irregular periods, which will eventually cease to exist all together.

Common Causes of Menopause

Understanding what causes the menopause transition helps explain why symptoms vary so widely. Although it’s a natural stage of life, several factors can influence when it begins and how intense the changes may feel.

The most frequent cause is the gradual reduction of estrogen and progesterone as the ovaries stop releasing eggs. Without enough hormones to regulate the menstrual cycle, women experience natural menopause.

Years before periods end, hormone fluctuations can lead to irregular bleeding, hot flashes, or mood swings. This stage, called perimenopause, marks the beginning of noticeable changes.

Some women experience premature menopause before age 40 due to genetics, autoimmune conditions, or medical treatments. This can cause bothersome symptoms to appear suddenly and may require earlier medical treatment.

Surgeries that remove the ovaries or treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation can trigger menopause right away. This type of menopause often leads to more intense emotional symptoms and physical changes.

In rare cases, ovarian function declines before age 40 due to genetics, autoimmune conditions, or unknown causes. This is known as primary ovarian insufficiency.

What Symptoms Does Menopause Cause?

The menopause transition can bring a wide range of changes—some mild, others disruptive to energy, sleep, and daily life. While each experience is unique, many women first notice signs during perimenopause that may continue into postmenopause. Common symptoms of menopause include:

Weight gain

Reduced libido

Moodiness

Post-Menstrual Syndrome

Sleep Issues

Sexual dysfunction

Hot flashes

Loss of memory

Thinning hair and dry skin

What are the Treatment Options for Menopause?

At AgeRejuvenation, menopause is treated with advanced hormone therapy tailored to each patient. Before starting care, our providers review your health history, hormone levels, and lifestyle habits to design the safest plan.

Hormone replacement therapy helps regulate declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Restoring these levels supports energy, bone health, and overall quality of life during the menopause transition.

At AgeRejuvenation, our specialists focus on bio-identical hormone therapy, a natural process using plant-derived hormones that closely mimic the body’s own chemistry. This approach eases hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and sleep issues, helping most women feel balanced again after they have entered menopause. It can be administered through creams, patches, injections, sublingual tablets, or pellets. The method depends on each patient’s needs, health history, and provider recommendations. Some treatments require daily or weekly use, while others can last several months at a time.

Our clinic delivers BHRT primarily through pellet therapy. Tiny pellets are placed under the skin, releasing a consistent dose of hormones for three to four months. This method avoids the ups and downs of daily medications and offers steady relief from menopausal symptoms, improving energy, mood, and overall well-being.

Alongside hormone therapy, making strategic lifestyle changes can help manage the symptoms of menopause more effectively. Sleep improvement, stress reduction, and targeted nutrition are essential for maintaining balance once the average age of menopause has been reached. Many women gain weight during this stage due to shifting hormone levels and metabolism. A personalized plan that combines medical care with supportive habits can ensure menopause is treated in a safe, sustainable way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pellet therapy is a safe and effective method that allows for a sustained, steady release of hormones. Pellets are also bio-identical. This means they mimic the natural molecular structure of the hormones you have in the body, such as testosterone, estradiol, and estriol. A pellet insertion is a simple in-office procedure where the pellet is placed under the skin into the hip or buttock region. Each pellet lasts for 4 months, which allows your medical practitioner to ensure that levels are being absorbed and are consistent.

Yes. In fact, both men and women have natural testosterone levels and estrogen in their bodies. Although testosterone is considered the male hormone since the levels are significantly higher in men, it is still important for women to maintain a moderate amount. Testosterone in women supports energy, metabolism, muscle tone, motivation, and libido, while also helping protect against cardiac disease and osteoporosis.

The most effective way to manage menopause symptoms depends on your unique health goals and the stage of your transition. At AgeRejuvenation, our menopause specialists often recommend treatments such as bio-identical hormone therapy to replace lost hormones and restore balance. In some cases, lifestyle changes—including nutrition support and stress management—are also part of the plan. During your consultation, we’ll review your health history, evaluate issues like irregular periods or mood changes, and discuss options to ensure your care is safe and effective.

The duration of menopausal symptoms varies—some patients notice changes for only a few months, while others experience them for several years. With the right care, menopause is treated more comfortably, reducing the impact on daily life. At AgeRejuvenation, we create personalized plans that combine hormone therapy with supportive strategies to ease discomfort, improve function, and protect your long-term health.
