Menopause
Let us help you understand and manage your body as you navigate this transition into a new phase of life.
Consultations
Northside Women’s Health offers consultations to help patients understand the transition of menopause. Women will spend almost half of their lives in their peri or postmenopausal years. All women will enter this stage of life sometime between the ages of 45-55 and most will experience symptoms as well as health changes. Our providers can help you understand what’s normal and what options are available to help make this transition more manageable.
Before your appointment, please print and fill out the following questionnaire:

Menopause Symptoms
“The prickly heat of hot flashes, the emotional ups and downs, and the menstrual cycle that comes and goes without a discernable pattern—you’ve heard about these common symptoms of perimenopause. But what about other symptoms such as the changes in your voice and body odor, or the metallic taste in your mouth? Are these part of menopause? Are they normal? Yes, they are.
Most women are familiar with several well-known symptoms of menopause, but there are several lesser-known, perfectly normal symptoms that can accompany this transition.
Treating both your common and uncommon menopause symptoms starts with good self-care practices. Additionally, discussing your symptoms with a menopause-trained healthcare provider and understanding which additional treatments are available to you will help you to find relief and feel your best.”
