Menopause Hormone Therapy & Symptom Relief
Menopause is a natural stage of life, but the shift in hormones that comes with it can affect how you feel day to day. As estrogen and progesterone decline, many women notice changes in energy, sleep, mood, and overall well-being. Symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, and fatigue can start to feel disruptive rather than occasional.
At TheraPellET, we use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help restore hormonal balance during this transition. Treatment is personalized based on your symptoms and goals, using hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces.
What Is Menopause Hormone Therapy?
Menopause hormone therapy is a treatment designed to replace the estrogen and progesterone your body naturally produces less of during menopause. These hormonal shifts are a normal part of aging, but they can lead to symptoms that affect your overall quality of life. The goal of hormone therapy is to restore more balanced levels to help reduce these symptoms and support how your body functions during this transition.
Estrogen plays a key role in regulating your body temperature, maintaining bone density, supporting skin health, and influencing your mood. Progesterone helps regulate your sleep patterns and supports your emotional balance. As these hormones decline, many women experience symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood swings, fatigue, and vaginal dryness.
Menopause hormone therapy works by replenishing these hormones to help bring your body back into a more balanced state. For many patients, this can lead to improvements in both physical symptoms and day-to-day well-being.
At TheraPellET, we use BHRT, which utilizes hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by your body. Our treatments are delivered through pellet therapy using The Virden Method™, providing a steady, consistent release of hormones over time to support more stable results compared to fluctuating delivery methods.
How Menopause Shows Up In Everyday Life
Common symptoms of menopause can show up in a range of physical and emotional changes as hormone levels shift. Many women experience:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Sleep disruption and ongoing fatigue
- Mood changes, including irritability and anxiety
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Vaginal dryness and lower libido
- Changes in skin, hair, or body composition
These symptoms reflect your body’s adjustment to low estrogen and progesterone levels during menopause.

Menopause Hormone Therapy FAQs
Can you start hormone therapy after menopause?
Yes. Many women begin hormone therapy during menopause or even years afterward. Your eligibility depends on factors like your symptoms, medical history, and overall health, which is why a personalized consultation is important.
What age does menopause start?
Most women reach menopause between ages 45 and 55, with the average age being around 51. Symptoms can begin earlier during perimenopause, which is the transitional stage leading up to menopause.
How long does menopause last?
Menopause itself is officially reached after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual cycle, but symptoms can last for several years. Some women experience symptoms for only a short period, while others may deal with hormonal changes much longer.
Does hormone therapy delay menopause?
No. Hormone therapy does not delay menopause or stop the natural aging process. Instead, it helps manage your symptoms caused by declining hormone levels during and after menopause.
How much does hormone therapy cost for menopause?
At TheraPellET, you’ll receive a new patient consultation fee of $150. After we develop your treatment plan based on your individual hormone needs, you’ll be charged $350 per insertion procedure.
What happens to hormones during menopause?
During menopause, your ovaries gradually produce lower amounts of estrogen and progesterone. These hormonal shifts can affect many systems throughout your body, leading to symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and reduced bone density.
Do hormones fluctuate after menopause?
Yes. Even after menopause, hormone levels can continue to fluctuate, although they remain significantly lower than during reproductive years. These fluctuations can still contribute to symptoms for some women.
