Understanding Root Causes
Chronic digestive issues often signal deeper imbalances within your body. It is common that during the time of perimenopause and menopause women experience increased bloating, acid reflux and digestive discomfort but do not release it maybe due to the hormonal changes occurring at this time. At Sayana Medical, we investigate multiple factors that can contribute to digestive dysfunction:
- Microbiome imbalances and dysbiosis
- Food sensitivities and intolerances
- Intestinal permeability issues
- Enzyme deficiencies
- Inflammation and immune responses
- Stress and nervous system dysfunction
- Hormonal changes during perimenopause/menopause
