Not Your Mother’s Menopause
Menopause is the time in a woman's life when the ovarian production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone begins to decline. Although menopause is medically defined as the time that a woman ceases to menstruate for a period of 12 months, the onset can occur up to ten years before that. Each woman is different; generally it occurs some time between the ages of 35 and 55. The Women's Center recommends that all women should have their hormone levels checked by age 50. Long before a woman's period has stopped, she has already noticed a change. Her periods become shorter and she notices a loss of energy, a decrease in strength and diminished libido. Her moods are changing: she may be more agitated, depressed, apathetic, and forgetful than normal. These are all symptoms of menopause.
Other symptoms of menopause:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Headaches
- Trouble sleeping
- Urinary incontinence
- Vaginal dryness, making intercourse painful
- Weight gain, especially in the abdomen, hips and thighs

DEXA Scan Services Offered at The Women’s Center, Hunter’s Creek location Research conducted by the National Osteoporosis Foundation suggest that low bone density, particularly for postmenopausal women, may indicate the need for drug therapy to reduce the risk of hip and spine fractures. The earlier the bone loss is detected, the sooner drug therapy can be instituted and the bone loss halted. Bone density measurements can also evaluate response to treatment so that we know whether the prescribed therapy is effective or if we need to modify our approach. The Women's Center recently acquired a new, state-of-the-art Hologic bone densitometer for axial measurement of bone density. This highly sensitive densitometer identifies bone loss at the major fractures site i.e. femur and spine in just minutes. Along with the standard sites we also offer:
- Dual Femur
- Total Body
- IVA lateral view of the spine
Having the DEXA in the office is a real advantage to our patients. Normally, a scan would have to be scheduled at a hospital; however, with our machine, patients can have a scan during their office visits. |
