Addressing Women's Health with The East Valley’s Top Hormone Specialists
Many women in Arizona are entering or experiencing menopause, suffering from oftentimes debilitating symptoms. Learn about what Menopause is, and what women do to alleviate symptoms.
What is Menopause?
The end of your menstrual cycles, usually 12 months after your last menstrual period, is defined as menopause.
In the United States, the average age one experiences menopause is 51 but can happen around the age of 40–50. While menopause is a natural part of aging, menopausal stage symptoms may affect one’s quality of life. (source: Mayo Clinic).
Some factors that may cause menopause are the following:
- Natural decline of reproductive hormones
- Primary ovarian insufficiency
- Chemotherapy and radiation therapy
- Hysterectomy
Regardless of the severity of your symptoms, it’s important to address hormone imbalances with a specialist near you.

How Do I Check My Hormone Levels?

Talk to the hormone experts at Community Clinical Pharmacy about the symptoms you are experiencing, what specific hormones you should test, then schedule a consultation to go over your results, where a customized plan of action can be developed by expert compounders working with you and your physician.
What is Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Natural or Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) utilizes drugs that have identical chemical structures as what is found in the human body. This differs from synthetic medications that can hold higher risks of complications.
BHRT has grown in popularity with menopausal women addressing hormone imbalances.
