Hi Anonymous,
I am so sorry that you're going through this right now. There are many forms of treatment for the symptoms of menopause.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
A number of different types of hormones are available. They include:
HRT is available as tablets, gels, skin patches, vaginal rings, vaginal tablets, injections, and pellets inserted into the skin.
There are a number of possible risks associated with HRT . Some of these include cancer ( endometrial , breast , ovarian ), heart disease, gallstones , and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Phytoestrogens
A high intake of phytoestrogens (or plant estrogens) may help menopausal women. They may reduce the risk for diseases associated with estrogen. Phytoestrogens are found in soybeans,black cohosh , rhubarb extract (a supplement), whole grains, legumes, tempeh, and flax seed. They are also found in concentration in capsule form.
Healthful Diet
A healthful diet during menopause can improve a woman's sense of well-being. It may also reduce the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and certain cancers. The diet should be low in fat and high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, calcium , and vitamin D.
Limit Caffeine and Alcohol
Cutting back on caffeine and alcohol may reduce symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, and loss of calcium.
Quit Smoking
Giving up smoking can reduce the risk of early menopause, heart disease, and osteoporosis.
Regular Exercise
Regular exercise may reduce hot flashes. Weight-bearing exercisessuch as walking, climbing stairs, and resistance exercises such as lifting weights help strengthen bones and decrease the risk of osteoporosis.
Stress Management
Stress management may help ease tension, anxiety, and possibly other menopausal symptoms. Deep breathing, massage , warm baths, and quiet music are examples of relaxation techniques.
Over-the-Counter Products
Moisturizers and lubricants are used to help vaginal dryness.
Nonhormonal Medications for Hot Flashes
