Menopause is a natural process that all women go through as they age. It is the time in a woman’s life when her menstrual periods stop and she can no longer get pregnant. Menopause usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but can happen earlier or later. While menopause is a natural process, it can also be a difficult time for women. They may experience a number of symptoms, including hot flashes, mood swings, and problems sleeping. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help to alleviate these symptoms.
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy is used to help women with the wide range of symptoms that are often associated with menopause. It gently and effectively delivers a steady, low dosage, bioidentical hormone to supplement the body’s natural decrease in hormones.
At River City OBGYN, we offer SottoPelle® hormone pellet therapy, an all natural, bioidentical hormone replacement that delivers a continual release of plant based hormones as the body needs it.

What to Expect During Treatment
SottoPelle® therapy is individualized to each woman’s unique hormone requirements. At your hormone replacement consultation, Dr. Paoloni will collect medical history information as well as some lab work which provides data on your hormone levels. SottoPelle® uses a proprietary dosing algorithm to determine the exact amount of bioidentical hormones that will maximize the benefits of the therapy.
