Hello minieiris, In addition to Alison's incredible information, we asked Dr. Carrie Jones to get her feedback. Here's what she had to say:
"Menopause is different for every woman and the length of time she experiences the symptoms depends on family history, health, lifestyle, stress, diet, exercise...etc. On average it can last from 2-10 years but some women may experience it for more than 10 years. Unfortunately there is no test that can predict how long a woman's menopause will last.
The pills you are taking do not contain any hormones. They contain herbs and vitamins to help ease your symptoms of menopause. For some women, herbs can be really helpful with symptoms of hotflashes, nightsweats, irritability, and insomnia. Again, every woman is different and you may only need the estro-natural for a short period of time to help your symptoms or you may need to stay on it longer if your symptoms come back.
In menopause, it is really important to eat a healthy diet, reduce or eliminate sugar and caffeine, get enough sleep every night, and manage your stress. Take time to care for yourself and do things that make you happy."
