At Skurcenski Primary Care, Dr. Skurcenski understands the unique challenges women face during this time and offers a compassionate and comprehensive approach to managing symptoms.

Menopause is a natural and inevitable part of a woman’s life, marking the end of the reproductive years. However, the journey through perimenopause and menopause can be accompanied by a range of symptoms that affect both physical and emotional well-being. At Skurcenski Primary Care, we recognize the importance of addressing these symptoms with a personalized and holistic approach.
Understanding the Symptoms:
Perimenopause, the transitional phase leading to menopause, and menopause itself can bring about various symptoms that impact daily life. From the notorious hot flashes and night sweats to cognitive challenges like brain fog, women may also experience insomnia, loss of libido, recurrent UTIs, vaginal dryness, and pain with intercourse. While these symptoms can be overwhelming, seeking professional guidance is the first step towards finding relief.
Personalized Evaluation and Hormone Level Checks:
Dr. Skurcenski specializes in evaluating and addressing the unique symptoms experienced by women during perimenopause and menopause. A crucial aspect of this process involves comprehensive hormone level checks to understand the specific hormonal imbalances contributing to the symptoms. This personalized evaluation forms the foundation for developing a tailored treatment plan that caters to individual needs.
Exploring Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT):
For those considering hormone therapy, Skurcenski Primary Care provides insights into the pros and cons of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). This approach involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced by the body, offering a more personalized and potentially effective solution for managing hormonal imbalances. Dr. Skurcenski engages in open discussions, ensuring that patients are well-informed and empowered to make decisions aligned with their preferences and health goals.
Alternative Solutions: Supplements for Menopausal Symptom Relief:
Understanding that hormone therapy may not be the preferred choice for everyone, Skurcenski Primary Care explores alternative solutions. There are numerous supplements available that can help alleviate symptoms of menopause, either as standalone options or in combination with BHRT. Dr. Skurcenski guides patients through these alternatives, considering individual preferences and health objectives to create a comprehensive and personalized approach to symptom management.
