Women and Men-O-Pause

Menopause is defined as the cessation of menstruation for at least a year duration. Biologically this happens because the eggs in the ovaries demising with each passing year. When the ovaries are no longer functioning a woman's hormones stop as well. Menopause usually happens between 45-50 years of age, however today we are seeing women going through menopause as early as 35 years of age. Prior to the onset of the menopause women go through a phase termed the 'Perimenopause'. This phase can last up to 3-7 years and can be a time of great stress for many women. During the Perimenopause ovulation fluctuates and this can cause variations in a women's menstrual period, as well as her moods. Premenstrual syndrome can increase during this time as well, due to a syndrome known as "Estrogen Dominance."

Menopause and Perimenopause can cause a lot of physical symptoms for women. A woman may experience hot flashes that range from severe to mild, mood changes, a feeling of ill-being, anxiety and many other symptoms. The decline of hormones for some women can have devastating effects that can lead to a decreased quality of life. Their work live and home live can begin to suffer and they can feel like they are going crazy. How can a phase like this not affect your business. One day you may feel fine and the next you feel lousy. One minute you are happy and the next you are crying. One minute you are cold and the next you are sweating like a pig. One day you are loving your husband and the next day you want to divorce him. Sometimes you feel like your life is like a Yo-Yo. Don't despair there is hope.

There are a lot of natural over-the-counter remedies, such as black cohosh and pure isoflavones (soy) that can help manage mood changes and very mild hot flashes. For the more severe symptoms one might want to consider prescriptive remedies to help them through these times. The big shift in hormone replacement is towards the natural formulations that one can only get at a compounding pharmacy. This type of replacement is known as Natural Hormone Replacement and is "Bio-identical" to the hormonal structure of a woman's own body. The other great benefit of Natural Hormone Replacement is that it can be made specifically for each Individual woman as her body calls for. What one woman may need may not be what another woman needs and this is a new concept for most doctors.

The main thing to remember is that you are not alone and you don't have to suffer alone or needlessly.
