What are my treatment options?

EMPOWER personalizes your treatment plan based on a comprehensive assessment of your symptoms, reproductive and thyroid hormone levels, medical history, and individual health factors.


Menopause treatment may include FDA-approved bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT), other hormonal therapies, and evidence-based non-hormonal treatment options. 


EMPOWER also integrates bone, cardiovascular, and metabolic health, sexual and vaginal wellness, sleep, mood, energy, and longevity science into treatment. This modern and comprehensive approach helps our patients feel and function their best through midlife and beyond.

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.

Menopause is the point in the female reproductive lifespan after which menstrual periods completely stop. The clinical diagnosis of menopause requires 12 months or more without periods. 


Hormonal changes before and after menopause can cause symptoms like menstrual cycle changes, vaginal dryness, sleep issues, and hot flashes. Some people don’t have uncomfortable symptoms, while others may benefit from hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options.


In the U.S., the average age at which people reach menopause is 52 years old. Everyone’s fertility timelines are different, but fertility specialists can help you understand what you can expect based on your age, health history, and health status.


Perimenopause is the transitional period between your reproductive years and menopause. Every body and reproductive timeline is unique, but the average length of perimenopause is about 5 years.
