What’s Included in Menopause Management
Menopause Management begins with a detailed consultation to assess your symptoms, hormone levels, and personal health history. Depending on your concerns, your care may include:
- Comprehensive symptom review to assess the severity and frequency of menopausal symptoms
- Hormonal blood testing to evaluate levels of estrogen, progesterone, FSH, and other key markers
- Evaluation of bone density and cardiovascular risk as part of age-related preventive care
- Discussion of lifestyle factors including sleep, stress, nutrition, and exercise
- Personalized treatment plan that may include hormone therapy, supplements, or non-hormonal alternatives
- Monitoring and follow-up visits to adjust treatment based on symptom progression and response
Every woman’s menopausal experience is different, which is why our approach is fully personalized and designed to help you feel like yourself again.
Common Menopausal Symptoms We Treat
Menopause can present with a wide range of symptoms, some of which may be difficult to connect directly to hormonal changes. Our providers are trained to identify, evaluate, and treat:
- Hot Flashes and Night Sweats: Sudden waves of heat and perspiration that can disrupt daily life and sleep
- Mood Swings and Irritability: Emotional fluctuations caused by hormonal shifts, often mistaken for unrelated stress
- Vaginal Dryness and Discomfort: Thinning vaginal tissue leading to discomfort during intercourse or chronic irritation
- Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling or staying asleep, sometimes accompanied by night sweats or anxiety
- Brain Fog and Memory Issues: Cognitive changes such as forgetfulness or difficulty concentrating
- Weight Gain and Metabolic Changes: Shifts in body composition, especially around the abdomen, linked to hormone decline
- Low Libido: Decreased interest in sexual activity due to hormonal or emotional changes
- Urinary Incontinence: Weakened pelvic muscles leading to leaks during exercise, sneezing, or laughing
Our goal is to not only alleviate these symptoms but to help you thrive through midlife with improved energy, mood, and overall vitality.

Your Questions, Answered
How do I know if I’m in menopause or perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, during which hormone levels begin to fluctuate. This can start as early as your late 30s or early 40s and may cause irregular periods, hot flashes, or mood changes.
Menopause is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period. At Cure MD, we use symptom tracking and hormone testing to help you identify where you are in the process and provide the right support.
What treatment options are available for managing menopause symptoms?
Treatment varies based on your specific symptoms, health history, and personal preferences. Options may include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), low-dose antidepressants, vaginal estrogen creams, nutritional supplements, and lifestyle modifications.
We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each, explain any risks, and help you decide what’s best for you. Our goal is to reduce your symptoms while protecting your long-term health.
Is hormone therapy safe?
Hormone therapy can be a safe and effective treatment for many women when prescribed appropriately. The decision to use HRT depends on factors like age, time since menopause, family history, and individual risk factors.
At Cure MD, we thoroughly review your health history before recommending hormone-based treatments. If HRT isn’t right for you, we’ll explore other options to provide symptom relief and improve quality of life.
Can menopause affect mental health?
Yes, hormonal fluctuations during menopause can significantly impact your mood, leading to anxiety, depression, irritability, or emotional instability. These changes are often misunderstood or misdiagnosed.
At Cure MD, we take your emotional well-being seriously and can refer you to mental health support or consider treatments that stabilize mood. Addressing mental health is a key part of whole-person care during menopause.
What lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms?
Regular exercise, a nutrient-rich diet, good sleep hygiene, and stress management can make a significant difference in symptom control. Reducing caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods may also help with hot flashes or insomnia.
We’ll offer guidance and practical strategies to incorporate into your daily life. When paired with medical support, lifestyle adjustments can greatly enhance your comfort and energy levels.
Will I still need regular medical check-ups after menopause?
Absolutely. Even after menopause, ongoing health monitoring is essential to prevent conditions like osteoporosis, heart disease, and certain cancers. We recommend regular blood work, pelvic exams, breast screenings, and bone density scans as part of your postmenopausal care.
Our team will help you stay on top of preventive health so you can enjoy a vibrant and active life. Menopause is the beginning of a new chapter, not the end of care.
Is menopause management covered by Alberta Health?
Yes, most menopause-related consultations, evaluations, and follow-up visits are covered by Alberta Health. Some optional hormone therapies or third-party lab tests may not be fully covered, but we will inform you in advance of any associated costs.
Our administrative team can assist with direct billing and provide support navigating your coverage. We’re committed to making high-quality menopause care accessible to all women.
What if I’ve already tried treatments that didn’t work?
If you’ve tried other approaches with little relief, don’t give up there are still options. Many women need adjustments in dosage, treatment type, or a more holistic care plan that addresses multiple symptoms at once.
At Cure MD, we offer second opinions and in-depth evaluations to ensure nothing is missed. Our mission is to find a solution that works for your body and supports your long-term well-being.
