Menopause Services
Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, typically occurring in the early 50s, though symptoms can begin a decade earlier. While some women experience minimal discomfort, others may face significant challenges, including hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. At West Des Moines OB/GYN Associates, we offer comprehensive menopause management tailored to each patient’s needs. Our treatments encompass lifestyle modifications, hormonal and non-hormonal medications, and advanced therapies like the MonaLisa Touch—a gentle, non-surgical laser treatment designed to rejuvenate vaginal tissue, enhancing tone and moisture.
Our Practice Provides Treatment For:
Hot Flashes
Vaginal Dryness
Insomnia
Mood Disturbances

Treatment Options for Menopause Relief
Our team provides a variety of solutions to help ease menopause symptoms and improve your quality of life, including:
- Hormone Therapy (HT) – For women experiencing severe symptoms, hormone therapy can help restore estrogen levels, alleviating hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Our providers will work with you to determine if HT is the right option based on your medical history.
- Non-Hormonal Medications – For those who cannot or choose not to use hormone therapy, we offer alternative treatments, including prescription and over-the-counter options to relieve hot flashes, night sweats, and mood fluctuations.
- Lifestyle & Nutritional Guidance – Diet, exercise, and stress management play a crucial role in managing menopause symptoms. Our team offers guidance on healthy habits that can support your overall well-being.
- Advanced Therapies – We provide innovative treatments like the MonaLisa Touch, a gentle laser therapy designed to improve vaginal health by restoring natural moisture and elasticity. This non-invasive treatment is ideal for women experiencing vaginal dryness, discomfort, or urinary incontinence.
