Menopause and Perimenopause Symptoms We Treat
Menopause and perimenopause can affect nearly every part of how you feel. Many of these changes trace back to declining estrogen, and you can learn more in our guide to low estrogen symptoms.
Physical symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, weight)
The physical signs are often the first to appear. Many women describe what hot flashes feel like as sudden waves of heat, and night sweats can interrupt sleep for months. Fatigue, weight changes, thinning hair, and body aches are common as well.
Emotional and cognitive symptoms (mood swings, anxiety, brain fog)
The emotional and mental shifts can be just as disruptive. Falling hormones can bring mood swings, new or worsening anxiety, and brain fog that makes focus harder. These symptoms are real and common. Dr. Augustino evaluates their possible causes before recommending treatment based on your individual needs.
Why See a Menopause Specialist Instead of Pushing Through
Too many women are told their symptoms are just stress or aging. A menopause specialist connects the full picture, your symptoms and your hormone levels, to a plan that actually helps. Beyond daily comfort, appropriate menopause treatment may support bone health and long-term quality of life from perimenopause through postmenopause.

What Is a Menopause Specialist?
A menopause specialist is a clinician with focused experience in the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause.
Menopause specialist vs general OB/GYN vs endocrinologist
A general OB/GYN handles the full range of women’s health, from pregnancy to annual exams, and treats menopause as one part of a broad practice. An endocrinologist specializes in hormone disorders and may be brought in for complex cases. A menopause specialist is different in focus: a provider who concentrates on the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause day in and day out, so dosing, monitoring, and symptom relief are second nature. The title matters less than that focus, and at Thera P, menopause and hormone care is exactly where Dr. Augustino has centered his practice.
When to see a menopause specialist
See a specialist when hot flashes, sleep problems, or mood changes affect your daily life, or when your periods change. If you are in perimenopause, or you have menopausal symptoms before 40, seeing a perimenopause specialist early is especially worthwhile.
Our Approach to Menopause Treatment
Our menopause treatment South Florida plans are built around your symptoms, your health history, and your goals.
Bioidentical estradiol pellet therapy
Our signature approach is bioidentical estradiol pellet therapy. Tiny pellets placed under the skin release a steady stream of estrogen that closely matches what your body makes, providing a gradual release of hormones over several months. Because these bioidentical hormones mirror your natural estrogen, many women feel steadier day to day. You can learn more about hormone replacement therapy for women and how pellets work.
Other hormone therapy options
Pellets are one strong option, not the only one. Depending on your needs, hormone replacement therapy may also come as pills, patches, gels, or creams. For women with a uterus, we pair estrogen with progesterone to protect the uterine lining, keeping your estrogen and progesterone in balance.
Non-hormonal and lifestyle support
Everyday habits support how you feel. Strength training protects bone and muscle, balanced nutrition steadies energy, and good sleep and stress management ease symptoms. These steps do not replace treatment, but they make any plan work better and add to your symptom relief.
How It Works: Your Path to Relief
Getting started is simple. Your first visit includes a detailed consultation and, when clinically appropriate, blood work to evaluate relevant hormone levels and rule out other possible causes of your symptoms. From your blood work, Dr. Augustino builds a personalized plan and, if pellets are right for you, places them in a quick in-office procedure. Most patients return every 4 to 6 months for ongoing support, and we adjust your plan as your body responds to correct any lingering hormonal imbalance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of doctor is best for menopause?
The best doctor for menopause is usually a board-certified OB/GYN with focused experience in hormonal change, though endocrinologists and primary care physicians can help as well. What matters most is that your provider listens, connects your symptoms to your hormone levels, and tailors treatment to you. At Thera P Biohormone Center, Dr. Augustino has treated women through perimenopause and menopause for more than 30 years, so you get care from someone who does this every day.
What is the best treatment for menopause?
Hormone replacement therapy is the most effective treatment for the hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, and mood changes of menopause. Our signature approach is bioidentical estradiol pellet therapy, which delivers steady hormone levels and avoids the peaks and crashes of daily products, though it is one option among several. Women with a uterus also take progesterone. The best plan is always personalized to your symptoms, health history, and goals.
Is it worth seeing a menopause specialist?
Yes. Many women spend years being told their symptoms are just stress or aging, when a focused evaluation could bring real relief. A menopause specialist looks at the full picture, tests your hormones, and builds a plan that fits you. Beyond easing daily symptoms, treatment can protect your bones and support long-term health, so seeing a specialist is often well worth it rather than simply coping.
When should I see a specialist for menopause?
Reach out when hot flashes, mood changes, poor sleep, or vaginal dryness start affecting your quality of life, or when your periods become irregular. You do not need to wait until symptoms are severe. If you are under 40 and having menopausal symptoms, it is especially important to be evaluated, since early low estrogen deserves attention for both comfort and long-term bone and heart health.
Can a gynecologist help with menopause?
Yes. Gynecologists are among the primary providers for menopause care, and a board-certified OB/GYN with a focus on hormones is well positioned to help. They can review your symptoms and history, order blood work, and prescribe hormone therapy suited to you. Dr. Augustino is an OB/GYN who has centered much of his practice on bioidentical hormone care, so menopause management is a core part of what he does.
How do I find a good menopause specialist?
Look for a provider with real experience in menopause, strong patient reviews, and a willingness to listen and personalize care. Ask how they approach hormone therapy and how they monitor your progress with blood work. In South Florida, Thera P Biohormone Center offers physician-led, bioidentical hormone care with more than 50 Google reviews and over 300 Zocdoc reviews. Call (954) 384-8668 to see if we are the right fit.
