Understanding Menopause
Menopause is a natural biological process marking the end of a woman’s menstrual cycle, typically beginning around 45 and extending up to 10 years or more. This transition can bring various symptoms including brain fog, irritability, hot flashes, night sweats, tearfulness, and vaginal dryness and skin changes, which may affect your quality of life. At Balance Medical in Bismarck, ND, we specialize in providing comprehensive care to help women navigate this phase with confidence and comfort. Ask us your difficult questions and trust us to restore your well-being. All you need is a little BALANCE…
