Menopause care in Sarasota
Waking at 2 a.m. and not falling back asleep is one of the most common reasons women start looking for a menopause doctor near them.
BHRT is paired with sleep and stress strategies you can actually sustain, then reviewed at follow up so dose and timing can be adjusted in small steps.
Falling and swinging hormone levels disrupt temperature control and sleep architecture, often years before periods stop.
Menopause unfolds over years, not months
Cycles regular · symptoms starting
Cycles are still regular, but PMS feels different, sleep changes, or new anxiety appears. Hormones may spike higher and drop faster than they used to, which is why nothing quite adds up yet.
Cycles irregular · hot flashes begin
Periods come closer together or further apart. Bleeding can be heavier or lighter than it once was. Hot flashes and night sweats often begin in this stage, alongside the sleep disruption.
12 months without a period · and beyond
Menopause is defined as 12 months without a period. Hot flashes, sleep issues, dryness and low libido may continue afterward, and bone, brain and heart health become a bigger part of the plan.
