Treatment of Menopause

We offer personalized treatment plans to address your unique menopausal symptoms. Some options we may recommend are:

• Antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications: For patients experiencing depression or mood changes, we may recommend these medications.

• Low-dose vaginal estrogen: We can prescribe this in pill or cream form to help reduce vaginal dryness.
