What is Menopause?
Menopause is a biological change that occurs among women in their 40’s or 50’s. It is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s menstrual
cycle. The beginning of menopause is identified by occurring 12 months after the last menstrual cycle. It marks the ending of fertility, or the ability to produce children. However, it is not life-threatening or a major cause for concern.
What are the effects of Menopause?
Menopause is natural and not life-threatening or a cause for concern. However, there may be some symptoms which women can find uncomfortable or disruptive of their quality of life. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should speak with your doctor to discuss treatment options to alleviate the symptoms:
- Intense hot/cold flashes
- Mood Swings
- Irritability
- Disrupted sleep
- Low energy
- Feelings of melancholy
- Anxiety
What are the symptoms of Menopause?
There are several symptoms that a woman may experience leading up to Menopause. These can occur in the months or years beforehand, during what is called perimenopause:
- Irregular periods
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Sleep problem
- Mood changes
- Weight gain and slowed metabolism
- Thinning hair and dry skin
- Loss of breast fullness
- Vaginal dryness
If you start experiencing these symptoms, then you have started experiencing the start of menopause. But this is not the same for every woman, some women can experience menstruation right up until the last month of their cycle.
What treatments can help?
One of the main treatments that can help alleviate the symptoms of menopause is hormone therapy. Many doctors use the approach to replace the imbalance of hormones that are causing such rapid mood swings or other irregularities. One of the main hormone treatments that you can use is called ‘Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). These hormones are derived from plants and mimic the structure and function of normal human hormones. Unlike the synthetic versions, the bioidentical hormones are a safer, natural and more effective treatment for conditions of hormone imbalance.
They replicate human hormones very well, ensuring that there is a balance and function of the body systems that are optimized.
