Mon Health Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital is now offering specialized menopause medicine through specialist and OB-GYN, Dr. Carolyn Moyers. As women approach middle age, they may begin to experience changes in their menstrual cycles, mood swings, hot flashes, and other symptoms that are associated with perimenopause. Unfortunately, many women are not aware of the condition and do not receive the appropriate diagnosis or treatment for their symptoms.
Perimenopause is a transitional stage that occurs before menopause. Menopause is defined as the point in time when a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months. After that one day, she is postmenopausal. Perimenopause can last for 7-10 years and during this time, hormone levels fluctuate, which can result in a range of symptoms that are often mistaken for other health conditions. The average age of menopause is 51 and perimenopausal symptoms can start between 35 – 45 years of age.
Dr. Moyers, a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP), aims to empower women with the knowledge and resources they need to navigate this transitional phase of life with confidence and comfort. She provides personalized solutions tailored to their needs, whether that be guidance on hormone therapy, exploring alternative treatments, or simply looking for support and understanding.
Mon Health Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital is fully equipped to care for women at any stage and any age, and is committed to enhancing the health of the communities it serves, one person at a time.
