Women’s Hormones

A woman’s hormones are a major part of life from her teenage years through menopause. Symptoms of hormone imbalance can vary from woman to woman, so when issues or questions arise, it may be difficult to find the “right” answer. Siskiyou Vital Medicine can help find the causes of your hormonal imbalance and get you back to feeling normal. The following are some common symptoms of hormone imbalance:

  • Heavy or irregular periods
  • Excessive hair on face, chin, or other parts of the body
  • Hair loss

  • Skin changes
  • Vaginal dryness and/or pain

Balanced Hormones is Part of Optimal Health

Finding the right hormone balance offers women significant benefits, such as increased energy, better sleep, stabilized moods, and support in aging physically, emotionally and mentally. Research has also shown that hormone therapy improves overall health by reducing the risk of disease, including lower heart disease, osteoporosis protection, dementia protection and reduced colon cancer.

Prenatal Care

Naturopathic prenatal care can be a wonderful support for women seeking to optimize and maintain their health and wellness during pregnancy. Our approach is gentle and loving as we support your changing body and growing baby. We are experts at utilizing herbs, nutrition, and homeopathy during pregnancy, and are experienced in managing common pregnancy discomforts and medical conditions. Listening to mothers is at the center of our care and we are passionate about offering education and choice around the many decisions that can arise on this unique journey.

Postpartum Care

Our postpartum care is aimed at supporting moms in the early weeks following childbirth. We offer comprehensive gynecology care and medical monitoring as well breastfeeding support, emotional support, nutritional guidance, and more. We can also treat any acute illness or infection that arises. Our care aligns with the midwifery model of care; it is personal, holistic, and loving.  Visits typically occur at one week, two weeks, four weeks, and six weeks following birth. Home visits may be arranged if desired. Postpartum care for moms can be scheduled concurrently with well-baby care as we seek to support your family in achieving optimal wellness and healing.
