Menopause Management
Menopause treatment focuses on the physical, emotional, and psychological health changes that occur as a woman moves beyond her reproductive years. Key aspects of menopause treatment include:
Hormone replacement therapy helps balance estrogen and progesterone levels that decline during menopause. Benefits: Reduces hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and may protect against osteoporosis. Risks: There are potential risks, such as B. Blood clots and breast cancer. A personal consultation with a doctor is essential to weigh these risks and benefits.
Non-hormonal Treatments
Lifestyle changes: Exercise, healthy eating, reducing caffeine and alcohol, and quitting smoking. Medications: Antidepressants, antiepileptics (gabapentin), and blood pressure medications may reduce hot flashes in some women. Herbal supplements: Black cohosh, soy, and flaxseed are commonly used but should be taken with caution and under medical supervision.
