Wellness & Menopausal Care FAQ’s

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

As women age, natural hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause can affect nearly every aspect of daily life. Declining estrogen levels may lead to symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, mood swings, sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating, and weight fluctuations. While these changes are common, they don't have to diminish your quality of life. At Cary OB/GYN, we offer personalized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help restore hormonal balance, relieve bothersome symptoms, and help you feel like yourself again.

Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation to better understand your symptoms, medical history, and overall health. In many cases, your provider may recommend laboratory testing to assess your hormone levels and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Because every woman experiences menopause differently, we take an individualized approach to care, developing a treatment strategy that aligns with your unique needs, health history, and wellness goals.

Hormone replacement therapy is available in several forms, allowing us to tailor treatment to your lifestyle and preferences. Depending on your symptoms and clinical evaluation, your provider may recommend oral medications, injections, topical gels or creams, vaginal estrogen therapies, or other hormone delivery methods. Together, we'll discuss the benefits and potential risks of each option to help you make an informed decision about your care.

Many women begin to notice improvement in their symptoms within the first few weeks of treatment, with continued benefits as hormone levels stabilize. Because your hormonal needs may change over time, we'll schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your progress, evaluate your response to therapy, and make adjustments as needed to ensure you continue receiving the safest and most effective treatment.

If symptoms of perimenopause or menopause are interfering with your daily life, our experienced team is here to help.

Medical Assisted Weight Loss

Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is about more than appearance; it's an important part of your overall health, energy, and quality of life. Weight can affect many aspects of women's health, including hormone balance, fertility, pregnancy outcomes, heart health, diabetes risk, joint health, and menopause symptoms.

At Cary OBGYN, we offer medically supervised weight loss programs that provide the tools, guidance, and support you need to achieve sustainable, long-term results.

Our approach begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, lifestyle, current health, and weight loss goals. We recognize that every woman's body is different, which is why we develop individualized treatment plans based on your unique needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Your provider will work closely with you to identify factors that may be affecting your ability to lose weight, including hormonal changes, menopause, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and other medical conditions.

Your personalized weight loss plan may include nutrition counseling, physical activity recommendations, behavioral and lifestyle coaching, and ongoing medical monitoring to help you stay on track. For eligible patients, we also offer prescription weight loss medications as part of a comprehensive treatment strategy. These medications are carefully selected and monitored by your provider to support healthy, gradual weight loss while complementing long-term lifestyle changes.

Throughout your journey, our team conducts regular follow-up visits to monitor your progress, celebrate your successes, and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Our goal is not simply to help you lose weight, but to improve your overall health, increase your confidence, and empower you with healthy habits that support lasting wellness.

Urinary Incontinence Evaluation and Treatment

Urinary incontinence is a common condition that can affect women of all ages, but it doesn't have to interfere with your quality of life. Whether you're experiencing leakage with exercise or coughing, frequent urges to urinate, or bladder control concerns, our providers offer comprehensive evaluations to identify the underlying cause.

We provide personalized treatment options, including lifestyle modifications, pelvic floor therapies, medications, and minimally invasive procedures, to help restore bladder function and improve your confidence.
