Menopause and Peri-Menopausal Symptom Relief Q & A

What are common symptoms of menopause?

Menopause is a natural part of the aging process for women, yet its symptoms can cause a wide range of problems. While the cessation of your menstrual cycle is a normal life occurrence, your body can experience a hormone imbalance that causes more severe symptoms, including:

  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Painful intercourse
  • Bladder issues, such as nocturia(waking up at night to urinate), frequent urination, feeling like you have to go right after you went
  • Mood swings, including depression
  • Weight gain
  • Fatigue
  • Dry skin
  • Skin aging

How do doctors treat the symptoms of menopause?

For some women, menopausal symptoms occur but aren’t severe enough to require intervention, yet for others, the symptoms can interfere with daily functioning. And for these women, the doctors at Rodeo Drive Women’s Health Center may have a solution.

For some women, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be the answer to their menopause symptoms. HRT treats women with specific hormones, mainly estrogen or progesterone, and helps to ease the symptoms they’re experiencing. The doctors at RDWHC will provide a specific treatment plan for you. This may include non-hormonal therapies as well.

What kinds of bladder issues are symptoms of menopause?

Menopause can impact all sort of areas of your health, including how your bladder functions. That means certain bladder issues may be a symptom of menopause or perimenopause, including:

  • Urgency: When you have urinary urgency, you experience the need to urinate frequently. Once you feel the urge to go, you must go quickly.
  • Hesitancy: When you have urinary hesitancy, you may feel the urge to go shortly after urinating.
  • Nocturia: With nocturia, you wake up frequently in the middle of the night to urinate.
  • Stress Urinary Incontinence: SUI is the involuntary loss of urine, regardless of the reason. This can occur when you’re coughing or sneezing, or anytime you leak urine.

How are bladder issues treated?

The team at Rodeo Drive Women’s Health Center treats bladder issues that are the results of menopause with advanced laser therapies. With the Mona Lisa Touch®, your doctor uses a minimally invasive laser treatment that stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen, boosting the health and elasticity of the vaginal area. This can help improve bladder issues by adding more support around the urethra and improving the overall health of the vulva. The doctors at RDWHC have the leading physicians in the country in use of the Mona Lisa Touch Laser. We have performed more Mona Lisa touch Lasers than anyone west of the Mississippi. We have one of the only 3 national physician trainers for this procedure.
