Menopause is a natural part of aging, but for many women, it can bring disruptive symptoms that affect daily life. These symptoms, including hot flashes, fatigue, mood swings, and weight gain, are often seen as an inevitable part of aging. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take a different approach. We look beyond just managing symptoms and focus on understanding the root causes of your menopause-related concerns. Our integrative approach combines conventional, holistic, and functional medicine to help you manage this transition naturally and smoothly.
We treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.
Menopause is the time in a woman’s life when her menstrual periods stop, signaling the end of her reproductive years. It occurs when the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone, leading to a variety of changes in the body. There are several different types of menopause, each with distinct causes and symptoms:
While these types of menopause share some common symptoms, each woman’s experience is unique. It’s essential to understand which type of menopause you are going through to tailor the treatment approach effectively.
Menopause can bring a range of symptoms, some of which may interfere with daily life. Common symptoms include:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek a comprehensive evaluation to understand the root causes and find effective solutions.
To understand the underlying causes of your menopause symptoms, we use advanced diagnostic testing. These tests may include:
These tests help us design a tailored treatment plan that addresses your unique needs.

These supplements are carefully dosed and monitored by our medical team.

Menopause symptoms are primarily caused by a decrease in estrogen and progesterone production, leading to hormonal imbalances that affect mood, metabolism, and other bodily functions.
The duration of menopause symptoms varies. While some women experience symptoms for a few months, others may deal with them for several years. Our approach helps to alleviate symptoms quickly and support long-term hormonal balance.

Yes, hormonal fluctuations during menopause can impact mental health, leading to symptoms such as mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and even depression. Managing these symptoms through stress reduction techniques, hormone balancing, and lifestyle changes can help improve mental well-being.
Weight gain is a common symptom of menopause due to hormonal changes that affect metabolism. A combination of a healthy, nutrient-dense diet, regular physical activity, stress management, and hormone balancing can help regulate weight during this transition.
Yes, there are several non-hormonal treatments for menopause, including herbal supplements like black cohosh, lifestyle changes (such as exercise and stress reduction), acupuncture, and nutrition therapy. These can be effective in managing symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood swings.
Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause, where women experience hormonal fluctuations that may cause irregular periods, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood changes. Blood tests and an evaluation of symptoms can help determine if you are entering perimenopause.
Menopause can affect your sex life due to vaginal dryness, hormonal changes, and decreased libido. However, treatments such as hormone therapy, vaginal moisturizers, stress reduction, and addressing underlying hormonal imbalances can help improve sexual health and intimacy.
