Management of Menopause

Post Menopausal Bleeding

Vaginal bleeding after menopause can be caused from a variety of conditions. Some are of little concern, but others require timely treatment. Your provider at Carteret Ob/Gyn can thoroughly evaluate any abnormal bleeding and develop a plan for managing it that will be right for you. Ultrasound is often used in the initial evaluation. Most patients can be thoroughly evaluated right in the office.

Treatment of Hot Flashes and Night Sweats

Menopause is often marked by symptoms of hot flashes and night sweats. For some these symptoms can be debilitating and embarrassing. There are a number of approaches to managing these symptoms including hormone replacement therapy, non-hormonal medical therapies, herbal supplements, and lifestyle changes. Your Carteret Ob/Gyn provider is well qualified to help guide you to the management plan that will be right for you.

Vaginal Dryness

Vaginal dryness often occurs with the loss of estrogen that comes at the time of menopause. This can contribute to discomfort with intercourse and just feeling dry and irritated. Your Carteret Ob/Gyn provider can offer various solutions that will be appropriate for your particular situation.

Sexual Dysfunction

Factors that contribute to sexual dysfunction after the onset of menopause can be varied and complex. Some may be physical. Others may be situational. Still others may have a psychological component. Your Carteret Ob/Gyn provider can evaluate your situation and offer effective strategies to manage this.
