A woman is considered to be having menopause after 12 months of no periods at all. Menopause can set in at the age of 45-55 years and some women go through it with minimum discomfort while others go through a difficult time and may experience some or all of the following symptoms:
- Hot flushes & insomnia
- Vaginal dryness, loss of libido
- Painful intercourse
- Bone loss – osteoporosis is a significant concern
- Emotional changes – depression, anxiety, loneliness, agitation , irritability
- Headaches or migraines
- Changes in digestion or appetite
A good naturopathic diet, exercise, supplements, herbs and stress management as well as adrenal support can help to alleviate symptoms of menopause and make the transition more smooth.
Natural hormone replacement is an option for those who consider HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy).
