What are the most common symptoms of menopause?
Menopause, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55, marks the end of menstrual cycles and the beginning of a new phase in a woman’s life. However, this natural process can bring about a range of bothersome symptoms, including hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and sleep problems.
These are the most common symptoms of menopause:
- Hot flashes: Sudden waves of heat that can cause sweating and reddening of the skin, particularly in the face, neck and chest.
- Changes in the menstrual cycle: During perimenopause (the period leading to menopause), women often experience fluctuations in the duration and regularity of menstrual periods. Eventually, menstrual periods will cease altogether.
- Vaginal dryness: Decreased estrogen levels can lead to vaginal dryness, causing discomfort during sexual intercourse and increasing the risk of urinary tract infections.
- Sleep problems: Some women may struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep at night, resulting in fatigue and impacting overall quality of life.
- Mood swings: Hormonal changes can trigger mood swings, irritability, anxiety, or depression in some women.
- Bone density loss: Decreased estrogen levels can increase the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures.
- Weight gain: Many women experience weight gain during menopause, particularly around the abdomen.
- Cognitive problems: Some women may have difficulties concentrating or remembering things during menopause.
These are just some of the most common symptoms. If you experience symptoms that significantly affect your quality of life, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional to explore treatment and management options. VSPOT is here to help you!
How to relieve menopausal symptoms naturally?
It is important to emphasize that every woman experiences menopause differently, so what works for one person may work for another. Nonetheless, there are some natural strategies that can help alleviate these symptoms and improve our quality of life during this stage.
Some of these natural methods include:
Regular exercise
Engaging in regular physical exercise can help alleviate many menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, weight gain, and bone loss. It is recommended to participate in at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week.
Activities like walking, swimming, yoga, or any other activity that you enjoy can be beneficial. Exercise can also improve your mood and promote better sleep at night.
Balanced diet
Maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet can help reduce menopausal symptoms and improve your overall health. Aim to include a variety of foods in your diet, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
Also, limit the consumption of processed foods, added sugars, and saturated fats. Some women also find it helpful to reduce their intake of caffeine and alcohol, as these substances can exacerbate symptoms like hot flashes and sleep problems.
Natural supplements
Some herbs and natural supplements can help relieve menopausal symptoms. Black cohosh, St. John’s wort, and red clover have traditionally been used to reduce hot flashes and mood swings.
However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplement, as they may interact with medications you may be taking or have unwanted side effects.
Discover Hormone Replacement Therapy – Biote
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment used to alleviate menopausal symptoms by replacing the hormones that naturally decrease during this stage of a woman’s life.
One of the most well-known HRT methods is Biote, which involves the insertion of subcutaneous pellets that continuously release hormones into the body.
The Biote procedure begins with a consultation with a hormone specialist, who will evaluate your medical history, symptoms, and hormone levels to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.
If Biote is deemed appropriate for you, small pellets will be inserted under the skin, typically in the gluteal area, through a small incision.
These pellets are consist of bioidentical hormones, identical in molecular structure to the body’s natural hormones. As the body absorbs the pellets, hormones are gradually released into the bloodstream, providing a constant and balanced dose of estrogen and/or testosterone to help alleviate menopausal symptoms.
