Perimenopause & Menopause Care
in Wichita, Kansas
What is Menopause Hormone Therapy?
Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) is a medical treatment that helps relieve symptoms caused by declining estrogen and progesterone levels during perimenopause and menopause.
As hormone levels change, women may experience hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness, and other symptoms that affect their daily lives and overall well-being.
Hormone therapy works by replacing or supplementing hormones that naturally decline during this transition. When appropriate, treatment may help relieve menopausal symptoms, improve quality of life, and protect bone health.
At Open Path Direct Care Wichita, we believe menopause care should be personalized, not one- size-fits-all. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, risk factors, and individual health goals to determine whether hormone therapy is right for you. Our goal is to help you navigate perimenopause and menopause with confidence, comfort, and a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
