How to Manage Menopause

By Virtue Digest

The time when a woman stops having menstrual periods is not a disease or illness, but rather a transition between two phases of a woman’s life, marking the end of her reproductive life. Menopause is confirmed when a woman, misses her period for twelve straight months without other obvious causes. Symptoms of menopause:
  • Shorter/Lighter periods (irregular/skipped periods)
  • Hot Flushes – a brief feeling of heat that may make the face and neck flushed and cause temporary red botches to appear on the chest, back and arms. Sweating and chills may follow.
  • Sleep Issues
  • Sex Problems – less estrogen leads to vaginal dryness which may make intercourse uncomfortable or painful.
  • Joint and muscle aches and pains
  • Mood swings
  • Headaches
  • Weight gain
  • Bladder control problems
  • Bone loss
  • Fatigue
There are many other symptoms that may show up in some womenRemedies to help ease the symptoms include:
  • Dress lighter
  • Regular exercise
  • Avoid spicy foods and heat
  • Supplements: Calcium, Vitamin E

  • Hormone Replacement Therapy

 Overall, lifestyle modifications can help reduce the symptoms usually seen. Let’s stay healthy as we cross this bridge gracefully.
