Is vaginal estrogen safe?

Yes. For most patients, vaginal estrogen has an exceptionally strong safety profile. It works locally, with minimal systemic absorption. The Menopause Society and current professional guidelines consider vaginal estrogen safe even for many breast cancer survivors. We'll work through your individual case carefully.

Will I need a referral?

No. You can come to Nova directly.

GSM stands for genitourinary syndrome of menopause. A cluster of symptoms caused by declining estrogen in the vaginal and urinary tissues, including dryness, irritation, painful intercourse, urinary urgency, and recurrent UTIs. It is one of the most under-diagnosed conditions in women's health, and one of the most treatable.

Can hormone therapy actually restore libido?

For many women. Yes, partially or fully. Estrogen, progesterone, and a small amount of testosterone, used appropriately, often restore desire, arousal, and the comfort of sex. It is not a guaranteed result for every patient, but it is a real one for many.

Is this conversation going to be awkward?

It can feel awkward going into it. Our patients consistently tell us it stops being awkward almost immediately. This is medicine. And a part of medicine that has been ignored for too long.

Benefits of Menopause & Perimenopause Care at Nova

Relief From Disruptive Symptoms

Hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, mood changes, and brain fog can interfere with daily life. A personalized treatment plan can help address the root causes behind these symptoms and improve overall quality of life.

Improved Energy & Mental Clarity

Many women feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or unlike themselves. We identify underlying hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle factors to help restore energy, mental clarity, and confidence.

Support for Long-Term Health

Hormonal changes can influence cognitive function, brain health, cardiovascular health, bone density, muscle mass, metabolic function, energy, sleep, sexual health, and overall quality of life. Early intervention may help support healthier aging and long-term wellness.

Personalized, Evidence-Based Care

No two women experience menopause the same way. Whether treatment involves lifestyle optimization, nutritional support, hormone therapy, or a combination, care is tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Signs It May Be Time to Seek Menopause Care

Many women assume symptoms such as fatigue, poor sleep, weight gain, or brain fog are simply part of getting older. While hormonal changes are a natural part of midlife, you don’t have to navigate them alone.

You may benefit from a menopause or perimenopause evaluation if you’re experiencing:

Hot flashes or night sweats
Difficulty falling or staying asleep
Brain fog or memory concerns
Mood changes, irritability, or increased anxiety
Weight gain despite maintaining healthy habits
Irregular menstrual cycles
Decreased libido
Fatigue or low energy
Joint aches or loss of muscle mass

Whether symptoms are mild or significantly affecting your daily life, seeking care early can help you better understand what’s happening and explore options for feeling your best during this transition.
