Menopause Phases

Menopause occurs naturally during a woman’s life. It can also be brought on if you’ve had a total hysterectomy. There are three phases of the menopause process.

The perimenopause phase may begin several years before your period ends completely. During perimenopause:

  • You may have spotty menstrual cycles.
  • You may experience hot flashes.
  • Your body will be changing as it prepares for menopause.

Menopause is the time when your ovaries stop releasing eggs and stop producing most of their estrogen. During this time, your body will undergo a number of changes that a woman’s healthcare provider can help you manage. You will probably experience one or more of the following during menopause:

  • Hot flashes
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Night sweats
  • An urgent need to urinate more frequently
  • Dry skin
  • Changes in your emotions, including mood swings and mild depression.

Post-menopause is basically the rest of your life after you have not had a period for 12 months. Your hot flashes and other symptoms may ease during this time, although some women experience these symptoms for many years.

Your Lifeline Medical Associates gynecologist may recommend treatment and can help you learn effective strategies for managing your symptoms, depending on your situation and medical history.

Lab Work

I am newly pregnant, so this visit was to confirm my pregnancy. I've had two previous back-to-back miscarriages. Nancy Welch was very understanding and supportive. She reassured me of concerns I expressed. We ultimately made the decision to complete bloodwork and come back in two days for the actual ultrasound to ensure that we will be able to see the baby.

Office Visit / Follow-up

Dr. Hersh and her medical staff were very attentive and informative before, during and after the procedure. She made sure that I understood and comfortable with the procedure, as well the same during a follow up visit. I have a very satisfied experience with Dr. Hersh, and she will continue to be my gynecologist going forward.
