What Postmenopause Care Looks Like With Dr. Twist
Postmenopause is active management, not maintenance mode. Care typically includes annual or semi-annual check-ins, lab monitoring, prescription adjustments, and tracking how your symptoms evolve over time. Dr. Twist also keeps an eye on bone density and cardiovascular health as part of the bigger picture. The aim is an engaged physician who stays with you, year after year, as your needs continue to change.
Long-Term Hormone Management
If you are already on hormone therapy, Dr. Twist reviews your current regimen, adjusts doses as needed, and manages your refills. See the hormone replacement therapy page for options and the prescription management page for how refills work.
Bone and Cardiovascular Health
After menopause, bone and heart health deserve ongoing attention. Dr. Twist addresses bone density through hormonal and non-hormonal options and lifestyle counseling on calcium, vitamin D, and weight-bearing exercise, and she keeps cardiovascular risk part of the conversation. These are the quiet, long-term considerations that are easy to overlook when no one is watching the whole picture, and they are a core part of postmenopause care here.
Continuity When You Have Lost Your Specialist
One of the most common stories Dr. Twist hears comes from women whose hormone therapy was started by a specialist in Missoula, Billings, or out of state, only to stall when that provider became hard to reach. Refills lapse, doses go unadjusted, and symptoms quietly return. Postmenopause care at Wild Women Medicine is designed to solve exactly that problem. You get a consistent physician relationship, statewide and by telehealth, so your treatment continues without gaps no matter where you live in Montana. Dr. Twist takes time to learn your full history, reviews what has worked and what has not, and keeps your plan current as your needs evolve over the years. It is the kind of steady, long-term care that keeps the results you have worked for from slipping away, with one physician you can reach whenever something changes.
Managing Ongoing Postmenopause Symptoms
Care also addresses the symptoms that can persist after menopause, including:
Vaginal dryness and GSM, explained on the vaginal dryness & GSM page
Low libido, addressed through sexual wellness care
Sleep disruption, joint changes, and urinary symptoms
