During pre-menopause and menopause, many women suffer from a range of symptoms and need help with the symptoms of menopause. In this article I will discuss the cause of most symptoms of menopause and what women have options to mitigate them.
Most pre-menopause and menopause symptoms are due to poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyle and exposure to environmental estrogens. And also an imbalance in hormone levels of women. Two hormones in particular are out of balance in menopause: estrogen and progesterone.
When the menopause, the progesterone level drops to zero, stops menstruation of a woman and she begins to suffer from breast pain, weight gain, bloating, low bone density, difficulty sleeping, anxiety and stress. At the same time, estrogen also decreases and symptoms like breast tenderness, anxiety, allergies, decreased sex drive, weight gain, especially around the abdomen, fuzzy thinking, insomnia, irritability, etc.
If symptoms are severe, a type of aid to menopause a woman can try is to change your diet to include more fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains and legumes. It is also important to include healthy fats like Omega 3 found in fish like salmon, herring, tuna.
Extending this natural treatment involves getting out all kinds of stress as stress can worsen symptoms and cause further hormonal imbalance.
If symptoms are more severe, a woman can talk to your doctor about bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. Bio-identical hormones are natural, plant-based hormones that mimic the structure of the hormones produced by the body. Because they are natural. They have no side effects.
This is important to know because many doctors still want to use synthetic hormones that are derived from pregnant mares and are outside the human body. Studies have found that regular replacement hormone therapy increases the risk s of breast cancer and stroke.
To be placed on Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) will have to find a doctor knowledgeable about hormones to help with menopausal symptoms. The doctor, in turn prescribe a special formula that is unique in their hormone levels after some tests.
It is important that you get the right information about bio-identical hormones, because many doctors still prescribe synthetic hormones because they are more readily available and supported by the pharmaceutical industry. Because natural hormones can not be patented by pharmaceutical companies, there is still some controversy about its effectiveness. So you will be wise to find out more information to make a decision on the best options for you when it comes to helping with menopause.
