Mintz, MD, FACP, Dr. Madeline Taskier, MD provides personalized, evidence-based menopause care designed to help women feel balanced, confident, and healthy through this important transition.
Whether you’re struggling with hot flashes, mood swings, or sleep issues, Dr. Taskier combines medical expertise with a warm, empathetic approach to help you reclaim your energy and well-being.
Understanding Menopause: A New Chapter in Health
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years and is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Most women experience this transition between ages 45 and 55, though it can begin earlier. The years leading up to menopause—known as perimenopause—often bring hormonal fluctuations that can cause a range of physical and emotional symptoms.
During this time, levels of estrogen and progesterone begin to decline. These hormonal changes affect not only reproductive function but also bone strength, mood, sleep, and heart health. Dr. Taskier helps patients understand these changes and develop a plan that supports both immediate comfort and long-term wellness.
Common Symptoms of Menopause
Every woman’s experience with menopause is unique. Some may have only mild symptoms, while others experience more significant challenges.
Common symptoms include:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood swings or irritability
- Trouble sleeping or insomnia
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Decreased libido
- Weight gain or slowed metabolism
- Fatigue and brain fog
- Bone loss or increased risk of osteoporosis
Dr. Taskier’s goal is to help each woman navigate these symptoms with understanding and the right combination of medical and lifestyle support.
How Dr. Madeline Taskier Treats Menopause
At Dr. Mintz’s Rockville practice, Dr. Taskier takes a personalized approach to menopause treatment. No two women are alike, and your care plan should reflect that. After reviewing your medical history, lifestyle, and goals, she may recommend:
Hormone Therapy (HRT)
Replacing estrogen and progesterone can relieve many menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Dr. Taskier carefully tailors hormone therapy to each patient, using the lowest effective dose and regularly monitoring progress.
Non-Hormonal Treatments
For women who cannot take hormones or prefer other options, Dr. Taskier offers effective non-hormonal therapies that target mood changes, hot flashes, and sleep issues.
Lifestyle and Nutrition Counseling
Exercise, balanced nutrition, and stress reduction can dramatically improve menopausal symptoms. Dr. Taskier works with each woman to make sustainable lifestyle adjustments that promote energy and balance.
Bone and Heart Health Monitoring
Post-menopausal women face an increased risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Regular check-ups and preventive screenings are a key part of Dr. Taskier’s care.
Q&A: What Women Commonly Ask About Menopause
Q: How long does menopause last?
A: Menopause itself is one point in time, but symptoms can last several years. Most women experience perimenopause for four to ten years before their final period.
Q: How do I know if I’m in menopause?
A: Symptoms like hot flashes, irregular cycles, and mood changes may indicate perimenopause. Dr. Taskier can confirm with a detailed history and hormone level testing if needed.

A: Many women benefit from HRT, but it isn’t right for everyone. Dr. Taskier helps patients weigh the pros and cons based on age, health history, and personal comfort level.
