Menopause & Perimenopause Treatment in Meridian, ID
Perimenopause and menopause bring a wide range of symptoms — hot flashes, disrupted sleep, mood swings, brain fog — that are often minimized as “just part of getting older.” At Vance Medical, we treat these years as a hormonal transition worth actively supporting, not just enduring.
“Just because you haven’t found a cure, doesn’t mean there isn’t one.”
— Dr. Mark Vance, MD

More Than 'Just Hormones'
During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen and progesterone decline in a way that affects far more than reproduction — they influence sleep architecture, mood regulation, bone density, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function. A brief conversation and a prescription for one symptom often misses how interconnected these changes really are.
Dr. Vance’s approach evaluates your full hormonal picture and builds a plan around your specific symptoms and health history, rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hormone replacement therapy safe?
Safety depends on your individual health history, the specific hormones used, and dosing. Dr. Vance reviews your full history and monitors labs regularly to keep treatment appropriate for you.
What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?
Perimenopause is the transition period leading up to menopause, marked by fluctuating (not just declining) hormones, which is why symptoms can feel unpredictable. Menopause is marked by 12 consecutive months without a period.
How is bioidentical hormone therapy different from what my OB/GYN might offer?
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to what your body naturally produces. Dr. Vance can discuss how this compares to other hormone therapy options during your consultation.
