Help! My Uterus Fell Out

Written by Jennifer Austin on November 18, 2009 - 7:08pm

Whoever said women should age with grace clearly did not understand all the complexities and frustrations of losing your estrogen stores. Yes, hot flashes are annoying and sleeping less takes getting used to, but saggy pelvic organs are an entirely different beast.

Testosterone, Menopause, and Heart Disease

Written by Dr. Carrie Jones on November 17, 2009 - 9:40pm

Testosterone is an often overlooked hormone in the grand scheme of menopause but the truth is, it helps with hotflashes, nightsweats, bone loss, energy, self-esteem, sexual desire, and orgasm response. For many women, this important hormone decreases with age however for some, it actually increases leading to increased facial hair, acne, and an increased risk for heart disease.

When Menopause Pauses Learning

Written by Jennifer Austin on November 12, 2009 - 7:38pm

Ingrid Berman once said, "Happiness is good health and a bad memory," which sort of suggests that a healthy woman going through menopause (a time when memory seems muddiest) should be elated. And wouldn't it be wonderful if that were true--if hot flashes, sleep disturbances and sexual dysfunction could, in fact, brighten your day?

Menopause for Men? A (Hormonal) Battle of the Sexes

Written by Jennifer Austin on November 1, 2009 - 2:57pm

Decreased libido, loss of bone mass, weight gain and hot flashes: all signs of menopause, even for men. You read right, that change in energy and even change in breast tissue isn’t entirely unique to aging women. Men also experience “the big change,” but in a less dramatic, less sudden kind of way.

My Introduction to Menopause: Menopause vs. Perimenopause, and Hysterectomy Alternatives

Written by Christine Jeffries on October 26, 2009 - 8:36pm

This is first in a series of articles I will be writing looking at Menopause. While I am probably still a number of years from experiencing “the change” myself, I am hearing more and more of friends undergoing treatments related to Menopause and complications of Perimenopause, so perhaps I should be paying better attention.

Hot Flashes and Heart Disease: It's Not In Your Head

Written by Dr. Carrie Jones on October 13, 2009 - 10:17pm

Just when you thought menopause was a little bit under control – you learn about heart disease. I mean…really? First it’s the memory starting to give, and then it’s the warm flushes of heat (power surges, if you will), night sweats, vaginal dryness, moodiness, irritation, and insomnia. Finally you hear about heart disease.

Hot Flashes: Possible Causes and Possible Treatments: Editorial

Written by North American ... on September 18, 2009 - 9:06am

Hot flashes are a common problem in many women. Although hormonal treatments, some newer antidepressants, gabapentin, and clonidine have been shown to decrease hot flashes,(1-4), improved treatment options are needed to provide substantial relief without unwanted risks or side effects. A better understanding of the physiology and measurement of hot flashes would expedite the development and testing of more effective treatment options.
