What To Know About Menopause

How your OBGYN doctor in Fort Worth, TX, can help you get relief from the symptoms of menopause

Menopause is an important stage in a woman’s life. It’s a time of many changes to your body. Some of these changes can be difficult and uncomfortable, but your OBGYN doctor can help.

Dr. Noushin Firouzbakht in Fort Worth, TX, provides a wide range of OBGYN services, including counseling and treatment for menopause symptoms.

Menopause signals the end of your childbearing years. It also causes a dramatic drop in hormone levels. The drop in hormones can cause:

  • Night sweats and hot flashes
  • Dry skin and thinning hair
  • Loss of breast fullness
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Depression and mood swings
  • Difficulty sleeping and insomnia
  • Weight gain from a slowing metabolism

You may experience these changes gradually as you go through the stage right before menopause, a time known as perimenopause. If you have a hysterectomy, you will experience sudden changes due to the sudden reduction in hormone levels.

Your OBGYN doctor has several options to help you manage your menopausal symptoms. Treatment may include:

  • Antidepressant medication to manage mood swings
  • Medications to prevent osteoporosis
  • Estrogen cream to reduce vaginal dryness
  • Hormone replacement therapy to decrease hot flashes and night sweats

Your OBGYN doctor may also suggest dietary and lifestyle counseling. Helpful changes may include:

  • Limiting caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods, which can help reduce hot flashes
  • Drinking enough water, which can keep your skin hydrated
  • Applying moisturizing cream to keep your skin from drying out
  • Developing a relaxing routine or meditation to help with sleep issues
  • Staying active to help keep muscles and bones strong

If you are going through menopause, you are not alone. Your OBGYN doctor is with you to help you manage your symptoms. You can live a normal, happy life while going through menopause.
