JOANN PINKERTON, MD, ON MENOPAUSAL TREATMENTS

How can I treat my menopause symptoms?

I’m Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton, and I’ve seen thousands of women seeking relief from night sweats, hot flashes, and other menopausal symptoms. Many women experience menopausal symptoms and may not know that there are treatment options available to help them. As a gynecologist specializing in menopause, I want to help them find relief.

There are a variety of things a woman can do to help with symptom relief. In many cases, modification in diet and exercise can provide a basis for a healthy approach to menopause. Additionally, prescription products, such as hormone therapy, or nonprescription products, such as alternative remedies, are options for consideration.
