Common Post Menopausal Symptoms
The decline in estrogen and other hormonal changes during and after menopause can lead to a variety of symptoms that affect your comfort and quality of life:
Vaginal and Urinary Symptoms
- Vaginal Dryness: Decreased natural lubrication causing discomfort
- Thinning Vaginal Tissues: More fragile tissues that are prone to irritation
- Painful Intercourse: Discomfort during intimate relations
- Vaginal Itching: Persistent irritation
- Urinary Frequency: Needing to urinate more often
- Urinary Urgency: Sudden, strong urges to urinate
- Recurrent UTIs: Increased susceptibility to urinary tract infections
- Mild Stress Incontinence: Leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising
While these symptoms are common, they don’t have to be accepted as an inevitable part of aging. Our treatments provide effective relief without hormones.
Our Post Menopausal Treatment Options
The O-Shot® for Menopausal Relief
The O-Shot® is a revolutionary non-surgical procedure that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood to rejuvenate vaginal tissues affected by menopause. This physician-administered treatment harnesses your body’s natural healing factors to improve tissue health, increase blood flow, and restore comfort. Our physicians recognize not all PRP is the same, hence our clinic uses the current top of the line PRP kit to process your blood & achieve the highest quality & concentration of PRP.
How the O-Shot® Works for Menopausal Symptoms: The procedure begins with drawing a small amount of your blood, similar to a routine blood test. This blood is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, creating platelet-rich plasma (PRP). After applying a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort, this concentration of healing factors is precisely injected into specific areas of the vaginal tissue.
The growth factors and bioactive proteins in the PRP stimulate:
- Improved blood flow to the vaginal tissues
- Increased natural lubrication production
- Thicker, more resilient vaginal tissues
- Enhanced nerve sensitivity and function
- Tissue regeneration and cellular renewal
- Strengthened support for urinary function
Key Benefits of the O-Shot® for Post Menopausal Symptoms:
- Non-hormonal approach with no systemic effects
- Addresses multiple symptoms simultaneously
- Uses your body’s own natural healing mechanisms
- No downtime or recovery period
- Results typically last 1-2 years
- May also improve sexual function and satisfaction
Our Estrogen Replacement Treatment
Pellecome Estrogen Pellet Therapy
Pellecome’s bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses subcutaneous estrogen pellets to relieve the physical and metabolic symptoms associated with menopause. As estrogen levels decline, many women experience hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, thinning skin, urinary symptoms, and even bone loss. Pellecome pellets offer a sustained, physician-guided delivery of estrogen to restore hormonal balance and improve quality of life.
Key benefits of Pellecome Estrogen Pellet Therapy include:
- Decreased hot flashes and night sweats
- Relief from vaginal dryness and discomfort
- Improved urinary tract health and function
- Protection against bone loss and osteoporosis
- Increased skin thickness and elasticity
- Enhanced mood, energy, and sex drive
- May improve lean body mass and reduce fat accumulation
This hormone therapy is individualized based on your lab results, medical history, and symptoms, and is typically administered every 3–6 months. Our physicians monitor your response closely to ensure optimal safety and effectiveness.
Comprehensive Menopausal Wellness
At Pacific Clinic, we understand that post-menopausal symptoms can affect multiple aspects of your life. Our physicians take a holistic approach to your treatment, which may include:
- Thorough assessment of your specific symptoms and concerns
- Customized treatment based on your unique needs
- Discussion of complementary approaches when appropriate
- Recommendations for supportive measures to enhance results
- Follow-up care to ensure optimal symptom relief
This comprehensive approach ensures that we address the full spectrum of your post-menopausal concerns for the best possible quality of life.
The Treatment Process
1. Confidential Consultation
2. Preparation for Treatment
- On the day of your procedure, we begin by drawing a small sample of your blood. While this sample is being processed to create the platelet-rich plasma, a topical anesthetic cream is applied to ensure your comfort. For patients who experience anxiety about medical procedures, we offer Nitronox (medical nitrous oxide) to make the experience more relaxing.
- On the day of your consultation, we’ll begin with a blood draw to assess baseline hormone levels.. After reviewing your test results, your physician will confirm the appropriate dosage and prepare a small, rice-sized estrogen pellet. This is inserted just beneath the skin (typically in the hip or upper gluteal area) using a tiny incision under local anesthetic. The procedure takes only a few minutes and requires no stitches—just a small adhesive bandage.
- Pellecome pellets release estrogen consistently over several months, avoiding the daily hassle of pills or creams and minimizing hormonal fluctuations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the procedure painful?
How long until I notice improvement in my symptoms?
Is the procedure safe for post-menopausal women?
O-Shot
- Yes, the O-Shot is particularly well-suited for post-menopausal women because it uses your body’s own natural growth factors rather than hormones. This makes it an excellent option for women who cannot or prefer not to use hormone-based treatments.
Pellecome Estrogen Pellet Therapy
- Pellecome pellet therapy is a safe, evidence-based solution for estrogen replacement. The bioidentical pellets are precisely dosed and inserted subcutaneously for gradual, sustained hormone delivery. This method avoids the hormone fluctuations and compliance issues associated with daily pills or creams.
- Most women experience improvements within the first few weeks, with optimal results developing over the first 1–2 months. Treatment typically lasts 3–6 months before another pellet is needed. Your physician will monitor hormone levels over time and make dosage adjustments as needed to maintain balance and effectiveness.
Can I combine the O-Shot with Pellecome Estrogen Pellet treatments?
How many treatments will I need?
O-Shot
- Many women achieve significant symptom relief with just one O-Shot treatment. However, depending on the severity of your symptoms and your response to the initial procedure, our physicians may recommend a second treatment after 8-12 weeks for optimal results. Annual maintenance treatments can help preserve the benefits long-term.
Pellecome Estrogen Pellet Therapy
- Depending on the severity of your symptoms and your response to the initial procedure, our physicians may recommend follow up treatments every 3-6 months for optimal & long-lasting results.
