Understanding menopause and hormone therapy
Dear patients and friends,
Menopause can bring with it a wide range of symptoms - including hot flushes, sleep disturbances, mood swings, irritability, skin changes, reduced libido, joint pain and sometimes weight gain. For many women, these symptoms can have an impact on daily well-being and quality of life.
In this video, I chat with my colleague Dr. Raphael Assayag, a family physician who also works extensively in hormone assessment and menopause symptom management.
We discuss the importance of a thorough medical evaluation, appropriate blood tests and how hormone therapy can help some women, when indicated.
Some patients respond very well to hormone therapy, while others may require a different approach. As with any treatment, we proceed with caution, adjusting doses gradually and monitoring for possible side effects.
If you are experiencing menopausal symptoms, I encourage you to consult a qualified health care professional, such as my colleague Dr. Assayag, for a complete evaluation and to determine which options are best for you.

See you soon,
Dr Benhaim Albert
