Portland’s Leading BHRT for Perimenopause Relief – Personalized Hormone Therapy at Aura Aesthetics
The wild, wild world of perimenopause–oof. The time of your life where questions like “Is it hot in here, or is it just me?” aren’t just jokes. For those approaching their late-30s to 50’s, perimenopause, the often-misunderstood prelude to full-blown menopause, can wreak havoc in your day-to-day life. And it’s more than just hot flashes. The hormonal imbalance that comes along with perimenopause impacts your mood and energy too.
But don’t sweat it! (ba dum chh) We’re here to break down what’s going on in your body and how Aura Aesthetics can help smooth out this transition with their Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).
So, What Exactly Is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the phase before menopause when your hormones start to change gears. During this time, estrogen and progesterone—the two main hormone players—start to fluctuate, causing a whole slew of symptoms that might have you feeling a bit like a stranger in your own body. Some telltale signs? Irregular periods, night sweats, mental fog, mood swings, and yes, those infamous hot flashes. This transition period varies widely among women, but it typically begins in the mid-40s and can last from a few months to several years before full menopause kicks in.
How to Know If You're Going Through It
Wondering if you’re on the perimenopause path? Here are some of the common signs:
Hot Flashes and Night Sweats: Your internal thermostat may start to feel a bit off. Cue the unexpected wave of heat!
Mood Swings and Irritability: Think PMS but with a bit more unpredictability. Emotional ups and downs can become the norm.
Irregular Periods: Periods may start to play hide and seek—sometimes showing up like clockwork, and other times, nowhere to be found.
Sleep Issues: Many find that they’re tossing and turning more than ever. (Yes, waking up drenched in sweat at 2 a.m. counts as a new “hobby” in perimenopause.)
Brain Fog: That lost-your-keys-for-the-third-time-this-week feeling? Yep, that’s a perimenopause special.
How Aura Aesthetics Can Help with Perimenopause: Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Now that we’ve covered the what and the why, let’s talk about the how—specifically, how Aura Aesthetics can help you regain balance. BHRT uses natural hormones that are crafted to mirror those your body naturally produces, so it’s a bit like replenishing what’s already familiar to you.With bioidentical hormones, everything used is a closer match to your body’s own. Instead of synthetic versions, these plant-derived hormones blend seamlessly with your system, offering a more natural and tailored approach to hormone therapy. This personalized treatment can be adjusted specifically to meet your needs and help you feel like you again.
How BHRT Works
At Aura Aesthetics, BHRT is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Especially when it comes to using BHRT to address your specific perimenopause symptoms. The process begins with a comprehensive consultation where you'll work with a specialist and a Nurse Practitioner to assess your current hormone levels and unique needs. Based on this data, a customized BHRT treatment plan is created to address your specific symptoms and hormonal needs. Once your plan is underway, Aura provides regular monitoring and adjustments to ensure optimal results and safety.
