It is recommended to have your hormone levels checked as early as age 40. During menopause, women\u2019s hormone levels, specifically their levels of testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, rapidly decline causing symptoms of hot flashes, poor sleep, decreased libido, mood swings, weight gain or fatigue. In order to combat those symptoms, Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is recommended. Hormones such as estrogen and progesterone can come in the form of topical creams or oral medications, while testosterone can be administered in various ways: daily cream, injections, or pellet insertions performed by Dr. Grossman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy provides numerous benefits such as:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increase muscle mass<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decrease body fat<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restore sexual libido and sexual performance<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhance skin elasticity to prevent wrinkles<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve sleep<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve memory<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve energy levels and mood<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other methods to address women\u2019s sexual wellness include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocwellness.com\/femiwave\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FemiWave<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ae<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocwellness.com\/o-shot\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">O-Shot<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ae<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information about the services we offer regarding menopause, call our office to schedule a visit with Dr. Grossman at\u00a0OC Wellness today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*W do not accept insurance<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*Individual results may vary<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When does Menopause occur?
