Wilson Health Opens Menopause Specialty Clinic within their Sidney ObGyn Clinic

In the U.S., more than 2 million people enter menopause each year. Despite menopause being a natural phase of life, many people report feeling under informed on the issue. Menopause is the permanent end of menstruation. It represents a transition into a new phase in life, and can affect a woman’s health and well-being.

Board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist, Dr. Kristi Pedler, recently received specialized certification in Menopause Care and Treatment offering expert care, education and support for women throughout all stages of menopause.

“Imagine sitting at your desk concentrating, and then all of a sudden, you are dripping sweat, feeling hot and your heart is racing,” said Dr. Kristi Pedler, board-certified gynecologist at Wilson Health. “You not only feel awful but it’s disruptive to your work cycle or to your home life and it’s a very bothersome symptom for some people. All too often, the response is, ‘Yeah, that’s just part of menopause.’ What women need to know is that there are effective treatments for hot flashes that can improve your quality of life,” Pedler added.

With specialized training and credentialing through the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), Dr. Pedler and Wilson Health ObGyn can help patients manage menopause symptoms and offer support for women through this transition.

“For women experiencing issues such as vaginal dryness, pain during sex, hot flashes, mood changes, difficulty with memory, brain fog or difficulty sleeping, we offer expertise along with treatments and therapies,” said Dr. Pedler. “Menopause can be a challenging time, but you don’t have to face it alone. We are here to help you through this natural stage in life.”
