Understanding menopause

Menopause occurs when a woman hasn't had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months, typically between the ages of 45 and 55. During this time, estrogen and progesterone levels decline, which can bring on a range of physical and emotional symptoms.

Common symptoms

• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Mood swings
• Vaginal dryness
• Decreased libido
• Sleep disturbances
• Changes in skin and hair

Managing your menopause symptoms

  Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

  Replaces the hormones that decline during menopause to help manage symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances — with the right type and delivery method decided based on your specific situation. Read more about HRT →

  Non-Hormonal Options

  Lifestyle adjustments and non-hormonal medications can help manage some menopausal symptoms for women who prefer this approach or aren't candidates for HRT.

Post-menopausal fertility support

For women who wish to pursue pregnancy after menopause, specialized options are available and discussed as part of a dedicated evaluation:

• 1

  Egg Donation

  A process where a woman donates her eggs to help another individual or couple conceive, typically through IVF.

• 2

  Embryo Adoption

  Allows you to use frozen embryos created by other couples to pursue pregnancy.
