How to cope with the menopause: effective methods
Is the menopause the end of your femininity?
No. The menopause is a natural stage in a woman's life and does not have to mean losing your attractiveness, health or joy. The menopause is the period in which menstruation stops and sex hormone levels fall. It usually lasts from 2 to 5 years and begins between the ages of 45 and 55. The menopause involves many changes in a woman's body, which can cause a variety of symptoms and conditions, such as:
- hot flushes
- night sweats
- insomnia
- irritability
- depression
- vaginal dryness
- reduced libido
- headaches
- joint pain
- osteoporosis
- heart disease
But don't worry. There are effective methods that can help relieve these symptoms and improve your quality of life. In this article we describe one of them – hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
What is HRT and how does it work?
HRT is a treatment in which a woman is given synthetic sex hormones to replace those her body no longer produces. HRT aims to make up for the hormone deficiency and relieve menopausal symptoms. HRT can be used in various forms, such as:
- tablets
- patches
- gels
- creams
- implants
- intrauterine systems
HRT can be oestrogen-only or combined. Oestrogen-only HRT contains just oestrogen, while combined HRT contains oestrogen and progestogen. The choice of the right form and dose of HRT depends on each woman's individual situation and should be made after consulting a doctor.
What are the benefits of HRT?
HRT can bring you many benefits if it is used appropriately and under medical supervision. Here are some of them:
- Fewer hot flushes. HRT helps regulate body temperature and reduces the frequency and severity of hot flushes, which can be very distressing and affect your quality of life.
- Better mood and sleep. HRT affects levels of serotonin, a hormone involved in mood and sleep. As a result, it helps prevent the depression, anxiety and insomnia that often accompany the menopause.
- Protection for bones and heart. HRT slows bone loss and reduces the risk of osteoporosis, a disease that leads to fractures and bone deformities. HRT can also lower cholesterol and blood pressure, which reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.
- Healthier skin and hair. HRT helps maintain skin elasticity and hydration, which slows down ageing and helps prevent wrinkles. HRT also affects the density and quality of hair, helping to prevent hair loss and greying.
- Improved sexual health. HRT helps relieve vaginal dryness, which can make sex difficult and painful. HRT can also increase libido and improve sexual sensation, which contributes to a more satisfying intimate life.
Is HRT suitable for every woman?
No. HRT is not a one-size-fits-all treatment and is not suitable for every woman. HRT also has certain contraindications and side effects that need to be taken into account. These include:
-
Contraindications. HRT should not be used by women who have or have had:
- breast, uterine or ovarian cancer
- venous or arterial thrombosis
- a stroke or heart attack
- liver or kidney failure
- vaginal bleeding of unknown cause
- hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of HRT
-
Side effects. HRT can cause adverse reactions such as:
- weight gain
- swelling (oedema)
- breast pain and tenderness
- vaginal spotting
- headaches
- nausea
- mood changes
