Hormones & Menopause
Hormonal changes are a natural part of aging, but for many women, the transition through perimenopause and menopause can significantly affect physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being.
At Dr. Saljo, menopause and hormonal balance are approached as medical conditions requiring individualized assessment, not as a one-size-fits-all treatment. The goal is to understand hormonal changes in the context of overall health, symptoms, lifestyle, and long-term risk factors.
Where appropriate, bioidentical hormone therapy may be considered as part of a structured, evidence-based treatment plan.
Understanding Hormonal Changes
Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause and menopause may affect multiple systems in the body. Common symptoms include:
Hot flashes and night sweats
Sleep disturbances
Mood changes, anxiety, or low mood
Fatigue and reduced resilience
Brain fog and concentration difficulties
Weight changes and metabolic slowdown
Changes in skin, hair, and connective tissue
Reduced libido or vaginal dryness
Symptoms vary widely between individuals and may begin years before the final menstrual period.
Medical Assessment & Diagnostics
Every consultation begins with a detailed medical evaluation. This includes:
Comprehensive symptom assessment
Medical and gynecological history
Review of lifestyle, stress, and sleep
Targeted laboratory diagnostics when indicated
Hormonal evaluation may include:
Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone
Thyroid function
Cortisol and stress-related markers
Metabolic and cardiovascular risk markers
The goal is to differentiate hormonal imbalance from other medical conditions and to create a safe, individualized treatment plan.
Treatment Approach
Lifestyle & Foundational Measures
Hormonal balance is influenced by more than hormones alone. Treatment planning may include:
Sleep optimization
Stress regulation
Nutrition and micronutrient support
Physical activity and muscle preservation
These foundational measures are essential for sustainable results.
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
When clinically indicated, bioidentical hormones may be prescribed to support symptom relief and quality of life.
Key principles:
Individualized dosing
Regular monitoring and follow-up
Lowest effective dose
Clear medical indications
Hormone therapy is not initiated automatically. Benefits, risks, alternatives, and contraindications are discussed in detail.
Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustment
Hormonal therapy requires regular reassessment. Treatment plans are adjusted based on:
Symptom response
Laboratory follow-up
Tolerance and side effects
Long-term health considerations
The focus is on safety, balance, and long-term well-being.
Integration with Preventive & Longevity Medicine
Hormonal balance plays a central role in preventive medicine and healthy aging. When appropriate, menopause care may be integrated with:
Preventive medical check-ups
Cardiovascular risk assessment
Bone health evaluation
Metabolic and weight management
Skin and tissue health support
This integrated approach supports both current well-being and long-term health outcomes.
