Perimenopause & Menopause Treatment in Mooresville, NC

Dec 4

What Local Women Need to Know

If you're in your late 30s, 40s, or 50s and suddenly experiencing fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, poor sleep, brain fog, low libido, or mood swings—you’re not imagining it. These symptoms are common signs of perimenopause and menopause, and they affect thousands of women across Mooresville, Lake Norman, Statesville, Troutman, and Iredell County, NC.

At Ova Women’s Healthcare in Mooresville, NC, we specialize in identifying and treating the real root causes of hormone imbalance so women can feel like themselves again.

What Is Perimenopause vs. Menopause?

Perimenopause is the transition phase leading up to menopause and can begin as early as your mid-30s or 40s. During this stage, hormones fluctuate unpredictably—especially estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol.

Menopause is officially reached after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual cycle. At that point, estrogen production from the ovaries significantly declines.

Common Symptoms Women Experience:

Hot flashes and night sweats
Weight gain, especially around the midsection
Anxiety, depression, or irritability
Fatigue and low stamina
Brain fog and memory challenges
Low libido
Irregular menstrual cycles
Hair thinning
Poor sleep quality

For many women, these symptoms are disruptive—but they are also treatable.

Why Standard Lab Tests Often Miss the Problem

Many women are told their labs are “normal,” yet they still feel unwell. Traditional lab ranges are based on broad population averages—not on optimal hormone balance for women’s health and quality of life.

At Ova Women’s Healthcare, we use advanced hormone and metabolic testing to evaluate:

Estrogen
Progesterone
Testosterone
Thyroid hormones
Cortisol
Insulin and blood sugar regulation
Inflammatory markers

This deeper testing allows for personalized treatment instead of guesswork.

Hormone Therapy Options in Mooresville, NC

Hormone therapy is not one-size-fits-all. At Ova, every plan is customized based on your labs, symptoms, and health goals.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

This approach restores hormones to more balanced levels using bioidentical formulations that closely match what your body naturally produces.

Natural Hormone Support

Some women benefit from non-pharmaceutical support through:

Nutrition and dietary adjustments
Targeted supplementation
Stress regulation
Sleep optimization
Exercise strategies matched to hormone patterns

Metabolic and Thyroid Optimization

Many menopause symptoms—especially weight gain and fatigue—are driven by thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, and cortisol imbalance.

What to Expect at Your First Hormone Consultation

Your visit at our Mooresville women’s health clinic focuses on understanding your whole health picture. This includes:

A detailed symptom review
Medical and lifestyle history
Comprehensive lab evaluation
A personalized treatment plan
Ongoing monitoring and adjustments

The goal is long-term balance, not temporary symptom relief.

Can Hormone Therapy Help With Weight Gain After 40?

For many women, yes. Weight gain during perimenopause and menopause is often driven by:

Declining estrogen
Rising insulin resistance
Elevated cortisol (stress hormone)
Thyroid changes
Decreased lean muscle mass

Balancing hormones can help improve metabolism, energy levels, and body composition when combined with proper nutrition and lifestyle support.

Is Hormone Therapy Safe?

Modern bioidentical hormone therapy, when properly prescribed and closely monitored, is considered safe and effective for many women. Each patient is carefully evaluated to ensure therapy is appropriate based on medical history and risk factors.
