Menopause is a natural transition, but its symptoms can feel overwhelming. Hot flashes, night sweats, and mood changes often disrupt your daily life.
At Philadelphia Women's Health & Wellness in Philadelphia, PA, Dr. Victoria Myers, Dr. Jacqueline Kohl, and Dr. Allison Keen provide personalized menopause care. We understand that every woman's experience is unique. Our goal is to help you find relief and feel like yourself again.
For most healthy candidates, systemic hormone therapy remains the most effective way to manage moderate-to-severe symptoms. According to guidelines from The Menopause Society, hormone therapy is the standard treatment for symptomatic individuals under age 60. This treatment directly replaces the estrogen your body stops making during menopause.
We offer customized hormone replacement therapy to safely restore your hormonal balance. Our board-certified gynecologists carefully review your medical history to create a safe, personalized plan. Our menopause management services include:
Yes, there are highly effective, FDA-approved non-hormonal prescription medications that target the brain's temperature controls. In two clinical trials in JAMA with 796 postmenopausal participants, a new non-hormonal drug called elinzanetant reduced hot flashes by 3.2 episodes per day. This medication blocks specific brain receptors to stabilize your internal thermostat.
If you cannot or prefer not to take estrogen, we discuss these modern non-hormonal prescriptions with you. We also offer guidance on lifestyle changes and evidence-based therapies to support your comfort.
Despite widespread marketing, clinical evidence shows that popular botanical supplements do not reliably reduce menopausal hot flashes or sweating. A systematic review in PeerJ analyzing 95 menopausal participants found that soy isoflavone supplements had no significant effect on excessive sweating. These plant-derived compounds are too weak to stop the brain's hot-flash signals.
Rather than spending time and money on unregulated supplements, we help you find proven solutions. We focus on science-backed treatments to give you real, lasting relief.
You do not have to just live with disruptive menopause symptoms. Our compassionate team will guide you through this transition with personalized care. Please contact our team today to schedule a consultation at our Philadelphia, PA office.
