Is Menopause Changing Your Life?Menopause, also known as the "Change of life" or climacteric, is a
stage of the reproductive lifecycle that every woman goes
through at some point in her life. Usually in the fifth or
sixth decade, where the ovaries stop making estrogen. A
similar process in men is known as andropause (male menopause). This
causes the reproductive system to slowly shut down. It also changes hormone levels drastically. While the body adapts to the
changing levels of natural hormones many symptoms occur. These symptoms can appear as hot
flashes, mood-swings, vaginal dryness, increased depression
& anxiety and increasingly scanty & erratic menstrual
periods are common.
Dear Friend, My name is Emily Howard, Health Advisor with MicroNutra Health™. Ten years ago, I would have told you that menopause is simply a natural stage in your healthy life cycle. Now that I am passing through that stage, I understand how bad menopausal symptoms truly are. Embarrassing hot flashes at the office, night sweats that made my husband sleep elsewhere and vaginal dryness that made me dread the nights he didn't-I felt more like a part of me was dying, not changing. Because I work in the health field, I knew too well about the dangers of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Fortunately, for me, I was among the first to benefit from a breakthrough nutraceutical formulation that literally gave me back my life-and my love life. I want to share that breakthrough with you, today. Ask yourself, is today the day you want to break free from the mood swings, hot flashes and insomnia? Is tonight the night you want to rekindle that passion you were afraid you had lost? You can choose to reclaim your life right now. You don't have to wait months or years till menopause has run its course. Your Health and Happiness are Choices that you must make for yourself. Your health is your choice and your responsibility. No one cares about your health more than you. What You Need to Know About Menopause
What Causes Menopausal Symptoms? Hot Flashes. As a woman, when you reach the early to mid-forties, your estrogen levels begin to decline. Eventually, these lower estrogen levels cause instability in your small blood arteries and capillaries. They dilate and you experience a hot flash. The Blues. Estrogens are psycho-active hormones. Their changing levels may cause you to feel depressed, anxious or experience mood swings. You may also feel a profound sense of loss. You are no longer fertile, and perhaps mistakenly feel less feminine, less attractive and less desirable. Your emotional distress can affect your whole family. Vaginal Dryness and Loss of Libido. Many women notice that sexual arousal doesn't happen as easily. The lower levels of estrogen can also decrease the blood supply to your vagina; your body's own natural lubrication may not occur, making sex uncomfortable or even painful. If you are also experiencing anxiety, depression, mood swings and hot flashes, keeping the romance in your relationship can be a real challenge. As estrogen decreases, your skin may become dryer and bruise easily, your hair may thin and you may have problems with incontinence. If ignored, these symptoms can get worse and become unbearable. If you had spoken with your doctor, you may have heard that HRT is associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, pulmonary embolism and invasive breast cancer (Women's Health Initiative, 2002). If you turn to other prescription or over-the-counter drugs, you are at risk for side effects that may be worse than your the menopausal symptoms. In fact, one of the causes of early menopause is because of drug side effects! Did you know . . . more than 74% of Americans are making the choice of good health through natural medicines, instead of pharmaceutical drugs? If you are one of these people . . . you've come to the right place. The good news is our safe, clinically proven, effective solution for menopausal symptoms really works! The Solution is Menopol™
Menopause is the ceasing of menses, while the process in which this occurs is the climacteric and takes place gradually over a year, but may take as little as six months or more than five years. Popular use however replaces climacteric with menopause. Later on we offer some of the more typical symptoms. There are an ever-growing number of FDA Approved Menopause Medications and treatments for menopause symptoms. Also, there are many over-the-counter-products to help relieve the symptoms of menopause and PMS. One of the most popular today is Bioidentical Hormones. Bioidentical Hormones Replacement Therapy is for today's menopause care. In the past, when women entered menopause they were prescribed hormonal replacement therapy with fixed combination pharmaceuticals. Examples of these types of medicines include Prempro and Provera. As time passed and data began to accumulate about the effectiveness and side effects of these medical regimens it became clear that they failed to help many women with their symptoms and even worse increased the risk of breast cancer. NOW a new method of treatment is available. Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy in which you are provided with hormone medicine formulated to meet your specific hormonal needs.Hera Clinic for Women was formed with a dedication to providing women of all ages with assistance in better managing their hormonal health care. This assistance comes in two forms: education and supplementation. It is our intent to provide practical and easy to understand information through public access to a competent medical staff trained in natural hormone replacement coupled with state-of-the art products to assist women with managing their hormone levels. Or, another alternative, one of the more popular supplements today is SAM-e. SAM-e and Perimenopause...this is a common combination. SAM-e's main claim to fame is reducing joint pain and other aches and pains. Makers of SAM-e suggest that it may be effective in battling moderate depression (associated with Perimenopause and menopause) without causing the annoying side effects ( insomnia and loss of libido) which prescription anti-depressants can create in certain individuals. As for taking care of aching joints, studies have indicated that SAM-e is just as effective as aspirin but without the risk of bleeding ulcers; this may be particularly helpful for folks who may be susceptible to this side effect. Natural hormone replacement products are formulated from naturally occurring plant estrogens and progesterone to ease your symptoms of menopause. Very popular aides in the effort to reduce pain and discomfort include Prometrium, Estratest, Femhrt, Estring, Verelan, Cenestin, Provera and hormone therapy.
