Services Include:

Complete medical history
Physical examination
Mammography
Bone densitometry
Hormone replacement therapy

Adequate time is allowed for discussion of issues related to signs and symptoms of the menopause as well as hormone replacement therapy.

Patient appointments are scheduled at the UCSD Perlman Ambulatory Care Center by calling (858) 657-8745.

Menopause Discussion Group

Each month, UCSD's Department of Reproductive Medicine and Endocrinology sponsors a Menopause Discussion Group to provide information and education to women who are seeking treatment for symptoms of menopause. Topics to be explored in the supportive atmosphere of other women like yourself include:

Feelings about aging, sexuality, changing roles
Hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia and depression
Hormone replacement therapy; alternative/complementary medicine
Cancer fears, surgical menopause
Relationships, personal growth.

NOTE: The Menopause Discussion Group is on a temporary hiatus for program improvements.
