FEMALE MENOPAUSE – GET OFF THAT EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER
The conversation is changing.
No longer are women afraid to talk about periods, the menopause, peri-menopause and the devastating effects it can have on their lives.
Hot flushes, mood swings and reduced libido. Symptoms women are now talking about in the coffee shops, on social channels and in the spa with a large Prosecco.
Even, God forbid, with their partners.
But still, the advice received and treatment provided can be patchy, misinformed and not seen as part of the ‘whole’ person.
A more tailored, specialised and rounded approach is required. Because every woman’s story is different and every woman affected differently.
Life can be a rollercoaster of brain-fog, tiredness, mood changes, hot flushes, low libido, night sweats, joint pain, vaginal dryness, skin/nail/hair problems, migraines, period problems.
A long shopping list of symptoms with emotions fluctuating wildly and day-to-day living sometimes extremely challenging.
But help is at hand. H3 Health offer specialist consultations for menopausal symptoms, led by our menopause expert Dr Verity Biggs and her team.
Listening and understanding. Devising treatment plans to alleviate symptoms. Smoothing out the bumpiest of rides.
WHAT’S GOING ON?
The menopause is when a woman’s periods stop, usually between the ages of 45 and 55. It’s a normal part of ageing and caused by levels of oestrogen and progesterone dropping.
Symptoms can appear many years before your period stops (Peri-menopause) and for many years after (Post-menopause).
The most effective way to treat menopausal symptoms is to replace the hormones that are falling. Through Hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
But there are also alternative non-hormonal remedies.
HRT. LIFE UNLEASHED.
HRT enables you to release life’s pause button. Symptoms resolve quicker and quality of life improves drastically. It adds cardiovascular, bone and brain protection, too.
Now, we know that sometimes HRT gets a bad press. But initial side effects are usually short-lived.
And scary headlines about significantly increasing the chances of breast cancer? The facts say otherwise. Only 4 extra cases per 1000 women over 5 years are found.
