Pre Menopause Symptoms – Is It That Time Of Life Already?

InfoMenopause — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:44:30 +0000

The onset of menopause is not a comforting thought for most women. Generally, menopause will occur between the ages of 42-58 and can last between 2-10 years.

While the thought of reaching menopause is not comforting to most women, spare a thought for those who have gone through early menopause, sometimes affecting women in their 20’s.

Menopause marks the end of the fertility era for women and how they deal with it’s onset can be an individual thing. Bringing with it upheaval, both mentally and physically, menopause is a dreaded phase of life for most.

A good friend of mine, Sally, recently went through two years of menopause symptoms and when I asked her how she coped she simply replied…” You deal with it the best way you can. Sometimes support just doesn’t cut it and I found when I went through one of a number of symptoms the best way I coped was to just cry it out. That’s how I dealt with it.”

Pre Menopause Symptoms

There are a number of symptoms associated with early menopause such as wild and unexplainable mood swings, hot flushes, heavy bleeding and night sweats and irregular bleeding. Hormone Replacement Therapy ( HRT ) is what most women will receive depending on each individual. Herbal remedy for menopause is highly recommended especially for women who don’t go down the HRT path. Used in conjunction with HRT, herbal remedy for menopause is a helpful way of combatting the menopause symptoms.

It’s been suggested that a lot of women aren’t prepared for menopause for one reason or another; maybe because they don’t want to recognise the fact that the aging process is what it is. However, perhaps adopting an attitude of being prepared with the right information can help deal with menopause mentally.

About Menopause

So how important is learning about menopause before it even becomes a factor in your life? Well, the short answer is very important. Too many women treat menopause as something which relates to aging and ignore it or simply don’t want to discuss it.

This can be a big mistake and comes back to haunt them when mother nature eventually deliver menopause into their lives. Learning about menopause should almost be compulsory simply because mental preparation is key in dealing with it’s symptoms when it’s in one’s life.

It’s not just about the symptoms. Things such as hot flashes, mood swings and depression or what treatments are available. There are symptoms which mimic menopause but are actually related to other conditions and quite often these are mistaken for the big “M.”

It’s essential though to know what treatments are available. A visit to your doctor can answer many of your questions such as whether hormone replacement therapy is best or whether it’s a better course of action to head the natural treatment route.

Or, you need to know the benefits of using HRT in conjunction with natural treatment. Learning about menopause treatment well before you should even worry about menopause becoming part of your life can answer these questions. HRT is still the most effective treatment when you’re needing a speedy relief option to menopause symptoms.

Natural treatments take a lot longer to feel the benefits from so a treatment program initially which involves both methods is an excellent option.

Other Menopause Relief Options

Looking at a combination of relief methods to treat menopause means knowing the importance of diet and exercise in combating things such as menopause weight gain.

Diet is extremely important. Understanding the diet you should follow before, during and after its occurrence will impact how you handle the symptoms associated with it. Usually, a low fat intake and a high calcium diet are recommended. If you do all these, you will minimize the often times stressful symptoms which signify menopause.

It is also of great importance to learn about menopause and its medical facts. You have to be armed with much knowledge about menopause to help you solve the problems that go alongside with it.

No, we’re not suggesting you need to do a course on the subject and become a renowned expert but just learn enough to get by.

If you have prepared yourself enough, then it would be easy to deal with your menopausal problems. As much as possible be prepared for it mentally and physically. You’ll see the importance of preparation once you get to meet that change in your life.

Menopause Relief From Hot Flashes

InfoMenopause — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 11:37:35 +0000

Menopause is a natural occurrence in the reproductive cycle of the entire female population, eventually one way or another. But thankfully, millions of women have found a menopause treatment by taking a combination of herbs for menopause and vitamin E. This herbal menopause remedy has been utilized to prevent menopause hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and all the other 35 symptoms that are attributed to menopause. Let us take a look at what group of herbs for menopause have brought the most effective, lasting menopause relief to so many.

Soy, Black Cohosh, Damiana, and Vitamin E have been proven to work best in combination as a menopause treatment. Each has its own quality to relieve menopause symptoms, but in combination, these herbs for menopause provide the most optimum menopause natural remedy.

Soy comes from a seed and contains natural plant estrogens called phytoestrogens. No other food has a higher phytoestrogen content than soy. While phytoestrogens are weaker than human estrogens, they still behave similarly in the human body. Once in the body, phytoestrogens can balance a woman’s estrogen level by attaching themselves to the body’s estrogen receptor sites. After attaching, phytoestrogens have been shown to decrease estrogen levels in perimenopausal women and increase estrogen levels in postmenopausal women. Additionally, besides providing menopause relief, research has shown that soy can beneficially promote heart health.

Black Cohosh comes from the root of a perennial plant that is native to North America, and its extract is primarily used today for menopause treatment. Black cohosh was used in North American Indian medicine for treatment of gynecological disorders, malaria, rheumatism, kidney disorders, and sore throat. It was also used for backache, colds, cough, hives, constipation, and to induce lactation. In 19th-century America, black cohosh was used as a home remedy for rheumatism, fever, as a natural diuretic, and to bring on menstruation. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has stated that black cohosh can provide menopause relief for up to six months, specifically in the treatment of the menopause symptoms of sleep and mood disorder, and menopause hot flashes.

Damiana comes from a yellow-flowering shrub that typically grows in hot and humid climates such as Central and South America, and the state of Texas. Damiana has historically been used as an aphrodisiac and some claim it induces euphoria. It has been shown to alleviate depression and relieve anxiety, thus producing relaxation. Some studies have shown that people suffering from sexual dysfunction, resulting from stress or emotional troubles, could benefit from supplementation of this herb.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that many believe also relieves menstrual hot flashes. Studies done in the late 1940’s showed it to relieve hot flashes and postmenopausal vaginal dryness. There are other substantial benefits of this vitamin. A Nurses Health Study showed that women who took vitamin E over a two-year period reduced their risk of fatal heart attacks by 40%. Vitamin E is currently being studied for its possible effect on Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. It is maintained, by advocates of natural herbal treatments, that combining vitamin E with other antioxidants such as vitamin C, selenium, chromium, and beta-carotene may offer a plethora of relief for a number of maladies, and most likely work better together than separately.

Medical menopause treatment has radically changed over the past few decades. In the beginning, Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT) was used extensively, but this gave way to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) using synthetic hormones. Lately, Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (NHRT) is all the buzz. But all these medical treatments have been wrought with various adverse side effects, perhaps a return to the tried and true, safe and natural herbal remedies are a more prudent choice.

It is different with every woman when it comes to these symptoms. They could in some cases get worse or tend to last for years.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is the common pharmaceutical treatment for alleviating symptoms of menopause. With this method women are either given oral estrogen hormone alone or combined with another hormone Progesterone in the form of progestin. These hormones are in a synthetic form. Until recently Hormone Replacement Therapy delivers the best menopause symptoms relief especially night sweats and hot flushes. It was also believed that HRT could prevent strokes, heart attacks and osteoporosis.

Such menopause natural relief works by restoring the hormone levels of the body to give menopause symptoms relief. Females who have had a hysterectomy can also benefit from these products.
