Society is made up of about 50% women and menopause is a normal stage in a woman's life; almost all women will have a time known as perimenopause, menopause, and life after menopause.

That's why this is such an important topic.

This phase is accompanied by significant changes and, frankly, a lot of inconvenience for a good percentage of women.

Fortunately, as science and medicine evolve, new solutions are available to women to reduce the negative impacts of menopause on their quality of life.

One of the treatments that received a lot of bad press in the late 1990s was hormone therapy, where women take estrogen and progesterone to compensate for their body's decreased production of these hormones. Sometimes testosterone is added to achieve the desired balance.

Since then, studies have shown that what was published on the subject more than twenty years ago, which led people to believe that hormone therapy is a dangerous treatment, was incorrect. Many women can benefit from hormone therapy and more and more women are using it today. Again, your own investigation and a frank discussion with your health care professionals can help you decide.

It is now also possible to treat some menopausal symptoms with the use of a laser. It is used in the treatment of:

The laser stimulates the production of collagen inside the vagina, which restores elasticity and tightens the vaginal and urethral walls.

Once the hormones are properly balanced, decreased or lost libido and difficulty achieving orgasm can be treated with PRP therapy.

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. The treatment involves dividing a small amount of the patient's blood to retain only the platelets, which are then combined with a serum.
