Menopause Care & Gynecological Services in Chicago

At Attune Menopause Care, our menopause specialists in Chicago provide personalized, evidence-based treatment for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. As Menopause Society Certified Practitioners, Margaret and Kiyomi specialize in menopause symptom management while also offering routine gynecological services including annual exams, contraception, and treatment for common concerns.

Whether you're experiencing your first menopause symptoms or seeking better management of ongoing issues, we're here to partner with you in finding solutions that work for your body, your lifestyle, and your goals.

Menopause & Perimenopause Treatment

We specialize in comprehensive menopause care, addressing the full range of symptoms that can affect your quality of life.

The right treatment depends on where you are in your transition, what symptoms you're experiencing, your health history, and what matters most to you. We'll discuss all appropriate options during your visit so you can make an informed decision.

    • Hot flashes and night sweats

    • Sleep disruption and fatigue

    • Brain fog and difficulty concentrating

    • Mood changes including anxiety and depression

    • Weight and body composition changes

    • Vaginal dryness and painful intercourse

    • Low libido

    • Joint pain and bone health concerns

  • Bioidentical estradiol (patches, gels, spray, vaginal ring, or oral) and micronized progesterone, prescribed through FDA-approved products or compounding pharmacies based on your preference. We follow Menopause Society guidelines, focusing on symptom relief rather than chasing specific hormone numbers.

  • Non-hormonal medications including antidepressants, gabapentin, and newer FDA-approved options for hot flashes when hormone therapy isn't right for you.

  • Low-dose testosterone for persistent low libido when appropriate, with careful monitoring and baseline lab work.

  • Birth control pills, hormone therapy, or non-hormonal medications tailored to your symptoms, contraception needs, bleeding patterns, and mood changes during the transition.

  • Evidence-based lifestyle modifications to support symptom relief and long-term health.

Routine Gynecological Care

You don't need to be experiencing menopause symptoms to see us. We provide comprehensive gynecological care for people of all ages:

Well-Woman Care Annual exams, Pap smears and cervical cancer screening, breast exams and mammogram coordination, contraception counseling and management

Common Concerns Vaginal and urinary tract infections, abnormal bleeding, hormonal concerns, sexual health issues

We take the same unhurried, personalized approach to all aspects of gynecological care.

What We Don't Provide

To ensure we can give our full attention to our areas of specialty, we don't provide prenatal care, pregnancy-related services, IUD insertions, or Nexplanon insertion or removal.

How We Deliver Care

In-Person Visits in Wicker Park

Our Chicago clinic is located in Wicker Park at 1564 North Damen Avenue, within a massage therapy studio. The space is intentionally unconventional - warm, relaxed, and inviting rather than clinical. It feels more like your best friend's living room than a typical medical office, which creates the perfect atmosphere for the kind of deep, unhurried conversations that are central to our care.

In-person visits are ideal for annual exams, concerns involving bleeding or pelvic pain, STI testing, testosterone therapy initiation, or when you simply prefer face-to-face care.

Please note: Our clinic is on the second floor without elevator access.

Telehealth Throughout Illinois

Many of our patients find telehealth to be ideal for fitting care into busy schedules - no travel time, no parking hassles, just a private conversation from wherever you're most comfortable. Whether that's your own living room, bedroom, office, or even your parked car, we're able to have the same in-depth, unhurried conversations as we would in person. You're just in your space instead of ours.

Secure, HIPAA-compliant video visits are available for most concerns including hormone therapy management, symptom consultations, and follow-up care.

Please note: You must be physically located in Illinois at the time of your appointment.

What to Expect: Initial & Ongoing Care

New Patients: One-hour appointments to thoroughly understand your symptoms, health history, and goals.

First Follow-Up: Typically 6-8 weeks after starting treatment to assess your response and adjust as needed. These visits are 30-60 minutes.

Ongoing Care: Once you're stable on a treatment plan, follow-ups space out to every 3-12 months based on your needs. We provide prescriptions with refills so you're covered between visits. Your schedule is personalized - some patients need more frequent check-ins, others do well with annual visits.

Most new patients can be seen within days to 1-2 weeks. We accept BlueCross BlueShield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and offer self-pay options.
