Many Methods for Handling Menopause
Menopause impacts each woman differently. Therefore, there is no one response for all. Here are some helpful hints:
1. Be aware of possible physiological and emotional symptoms.
2. Remember peri-menopause can start years before your period stops.
3. A supportive partner helps. Read Sex For Grownups (pages 56-57) for a true store about how a great guy saved his wife’s sanity during menopause.
4. Becomes a proactive collaborator with your health care practitioner.
5. Education is power. Learn about Hormone Replacement Therapy, herbs, acupuncture, the benefits of exercise, kegels, estrogen healthy foods, alternative treatments, and the possible side effects of everything.
6.Yoga and breathing exercises. I particularly urge women to investigate their own appropriate form of yoga. I love it.
7. There are a multitude of treatments available for every woman. There are so many ways that you can lessen the effects of your symptoms and make the change worthwhile. Use what is available. If one method doesn’t work, try another. You are in charge of your health and choosing what kind of health care practitioner you want. Keep seeking until you find the right help and the best solution for you.
