Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, but the symptoms associated with it—such as hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, and sleep disturbances—can significantly impact quality of life. At Patients Medical in New York City, we believe in taking a comprehensive, integrative approach to menopause symptoms. Our goal is not just to mask symptoms, but to address the underlying causes and provide holistic solutions that balance hormones, reduce discomfort, and promote overall well-being.
We treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. During this transition, the body undergoes hormonal changes that can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:
These symptoms vary from woman to woman, with some experiencing only mild discomfort and others struggling with more severe challenges. Understanding the root causes of these symptoms is key to developing an effective, personalized treatment plan.
Many women experience a wide range of symptoms during menopause. Common menopause symptoms include:
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to understand the underlying causes and find the right treatment options.
Functional medicine focuses on uncovering the “why” behind menopause symptoms. While hormonal changes are the main cause, several other factors can contribute to the severity and duration of symptoms:
At Patients Medical, we take an integrative approach to addressing these root causes and helping women manage menopause symptoms naturally.
At Patients Medical, we use advanced lab tests to understand the underlying causes of your menopause symptoms. Common tests include:
These tests help us design a personalized and effective treatment plan for managing menopause symptoms.
IV therapy provides a quick and effective way to replenish essential nutrients that may be lacking during menopause. We offer custom IV infusions that may include:
We recommend evidence-based herbal supplements and nutraceuticals to support hormone balance and reduce menopause symptoms. Options include:
All supplements are dosed and monitored by our healthcare professionals for safety and effectiveness.
Managing stress is crucial for balancing hormones and reducing menopausal symptoms. We offer a variety of stress-reducing therapies, including:

These treatments can help you feel more balanced and improve your quality of life during menopause.
Emily, age 48, came to us struggling with hot flashes, fatigue, and mood swings. After comprehensive testing, we discovered that her estrogen levels were low, and her cortisol levels were elevated due to stress. We created a personalized treatment plan that included:
Three months later, Emily’s hot flashes had decreased, her energy levels were restored, and she was able to manage stress more effectively.
Yes, through a combination of hormone balancing, stress reduction, diet, and herbal supplements, many women experience significant relief from menopause symptoms naturally.
The most common symptoms of menopause include hot flashes, night sweats, irregular periods, vaginal dryness, mood swings, fatigue, and sleep disturbances.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can be an effective and safe option for women experiencing severe menopause symptoms. We tailor hormone treatments to your individual needs.
Yes, hormonal changes during menopause can affect metabolism and lead to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen. A balanced diet and regular exercise can help manage weight during this transition.
Menopause symptoms can last for a few months to several years, with the average duration being around 4-5 years. Some women experience symptoms for a longer time, while others find relief sooner.
Yes, hormonal fluctuations during menopause can significantly impact mental health. Many women experience symptoms such as mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and even depression due to changes in estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones. Managing stress, adopting healthy lifestyle changes, and exploring natural mood-balancing therapies can help improve mental health during this time.
The timeline for symptom relief varies for each woman. Some women may experience relief within a few weeks of starting treatment, while others may take a few months to see significant changes. Hormone therapy, stress reduction, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments often work together to bring lasting relief over time.
No, menopause and perimenopause are different. Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, where hormonal fluctuations begin. It can last several years and cause irregular periods, hot flashes, and other symptoms. Menopause, on the other hand, is when a woman’s periods stop for 12 consecutive months, signaling the end of her reproductive years.
Yes, menopause can affect sexual health due to hormonal changes, particularly the decrease in estrogen, which can lead to vaginal dryness, discomfort during intercourse, and reduced libido. However, treatments like hormone therapy, vaginal moisturizers, and stress reduction can help improve sexual function and intimacy during menopause.
As estrogen levels decrease during menopause, collagen production in the skin slows down, leading to skin thinning and dryness. This can cause wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and dullness. However, proper skincare, a healthy diet, hydration, and supplements like omega-3 fatty acids can help support skin health and slow the aging process.
