Menopause FAQ — Managing the Transition
What are the first signs of menopause?
Common early signs include irregular periods, hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and unexplained fatigue. Symptoms typically begin 2–5 years before the final menstrual period.
Can Korean Medicine treat menopause symptoms?
Yes. Korean Medicine uses herbal prescriptions tailored to your specific symptom pattern (heat-dominant, fatigue-dominant, or pain-dominant), along with acupuncture for autonomic regulation.
Can I use Korean Medicine alongside Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Yes. Herbal medicine can complement HRT and may help with symptoms HRT doesn’t fully address, such as digestive issues or brain fog.
Do men experience menopause?
Yes. Male menopause (andropause) involves gradual testosterone decline, causing fatigue, mood changes, decreased libido, and muscle loss. Korean Medicine can support this transition.
How long does treatment take?
Most patients notice improvement within 4–8 weeks. Significant stabilization typically occurs over 3–6 months. Treatment duration depends on individual symptom severity.
