There is one thing that all women, regardless of race, nationality or geographic location will have to go through at the same point in their lives: menopause. While this definitely is considered a women’s health issue, there has been a push in recent years to make information about menopause and other women’s health issues better known. That’s a large reason why the International Menopause Society (IMS) declared October World Menopause Month.

Every woman experiences menopause differently, so what not use a therapy that's customized to your body?

During this month, local organizations can collaborate with menopause societies and medical professionals and services to organize education events and activities. The focus for this year is creating awareness about the weight gain that occurs in many women during menopause and how it will affect them in post-menopausal life.  This information is crucial for the women who will face this challenge, as well as the males that they live with as they will have to be supportive and understanding of the changes occurring.

At Juro’s Pharmacy we offer a customized method to help reduce the severity of menopause symptoms. Our treatment, called Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), uses plant-derived bio-identical hormones rather than the traditional synthetic estrogen in combination with your body’s natural hormones.

We recognize that all women do not experience Menopause the same, so through compounding we can create a dosage and strength that is ideal for your height, weight, needs and lifestyle. This results in less severe symptoms from menopause and a smoother transition to your post-menopausal life.

So, during World Menopause Month, we encourage you to seek out information about menopause, whether it’s from local organizations or from the IMS website. We also invite you to contact us about Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy to see how we can help you through this stage in your life.
