Mon Health Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital offers expert menopause medicine with obstetrician-gynecologist Carolyn Moyers, MD.
As women approach middle age, they may begin to experience changes in their menstrual cycles, mood swings, hot flashes, and other symptoms associated with perimenopause. Unfortunately, many women are unaware of this condition and do not receive proper diagnosis or treatment for their symptoms.
Perimenopause is a transition phase that occurs before menopause. Menopause is defined as the point at which a woman stops having menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months. One day, she becomes post-menopausal.
Perimenopause can last seven to 10 years, and during this period, hormone levels fluctuate, which can lead to a variety of symptoms that are often mistaken for other health conditions. The average age of menopause is 51 years, and perimenopausal symptoms begin between the ages of 35 and 45.
“I believe I can provide women with the knowledge and resources they need to navigate this transition period in their lives with confidence and comfort,” said Dr. Moyers. “Whether my patients are seeking guidance on hormone therapy, exploring alternative treatments, or simply seeking support and understanding, I provide individualized solutions tailored to their needs. I’m here to do it.”
Dr. Moyers is a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP). MSCPs undergo rigorous training and testing to specialize in menopause care. MSCP certification includes extensive research into current data and best practices in menopause treatment, ensuring patients receive the highest standards of care. Additionally, her MSCPs, like Dr. Moyers, are committed to staying abreast of the latest developments in menopause research through continuing medical education.
If you suspect that you are perimenopausal, you should see a qualified medical professional for a complete medical examination. Diagnosis of perimenopause can usually be made by reviewing your medical history, menstrual history, and signs and symptoms.
