There are women who choose to go through menopause without help, but there is no reason to go it alone. The smarter choice is to see a menopause specialist. Typically, you’ll be asked to schedule a consultation, and upon doing so, you might wonder, “What can I expect from a menopause consultation?” 

 

You may feel a bit nervous but as long as you’re prepared, you’ll be great!

Here Are the Most Important Reasons You Should See a Menopause Specialist

Menopause can be both wonderful and difficult. Hormonal changes, hot flashes, and night sweats can be quite troubling, and with a menopause specialist, you get the precise help you need to deal with physical symptoms. 

 

You’ll also get the help you need to cope with emotional issues as well. A hormonal imbalance can lead to anxiety and depression which can take a serious toll on your mental health if left untreated. 

A menopause specialist understands everything you are going through and will offer medical/holistic treatment options such as bio-identical hormones, as well as support and encouragement. Taking the step to see a specialist means you are in control of menopause, and it is not in control of you!

What Can I Expect From a Menopause Consultation?

This is an important time for you. During an initial consultation, you should expect a comprehensive evaluation of your hormones, nutrition, and general health. Additionally, screening tests will be done to determine what is causing specific symptoms. 

You’ll likely be asked to do an at-home urinary analysis that will ultimately be used to determine your estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol levels. This provides your specialist with information regarding how your body metabolizes hormones. You should also expect a physical exam including a breast and pelvic exam.
