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.

Written by Jennifer Austin on November 16, 2009 - 11:58pm

Amidst a flood of menopause therapies sworn to cast off hot flashes, yoga appears to deliver. We don't often think of it for this purpose, but this Eastern-based meditative practice that focuses on using both physical and mental discipline to improve health, might play a role in lessening the intensity of menopause's most notorious symptom.

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.

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.
