Pre-menopause or menopause type symptoms can never be completely reversed. By using a range of menopause resources, a woman getting ready to go through the Change can greatly diminish symptoms. At the very least she can use these menopause resources to feel more comfortable.
Symptoms of Menopause
Memory problems are very common. Problems with focusing and concentration also appear unexpectedly. A woman may also experience increased anxiousness and moodiness. Remember that certain symptoms can come to life during pre-menopause too.
Besides memory issues, a women going through menopause may be more fatigued than usual. Sexual symptoms include vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse. This is why special lubricants and other intimate skincare products should be used during menopause.
Other frustrating, yet normal symptoms include:
Hot Flashes
Night Sweats
Difficulty Sleeping
Migraines
Irregular Periods
Decreased Bone Density
Recommended Supplements
Natural supplements can be great menopause resources, and can be used to treat memory issues. Two natural supplements that are known to be helpful are gingko biloba and omega vitamins. Vitamin B complex supplements increase your natural energy. If you are experiencing symptoms of osteoarthritis, it's advised that you take glucosamine and chondroitin supplements which help to increase bone density.
Diet Recommendations
Eating right is vital for you to feel your very best and have enough energy to get through symptomatic times gracefully. Lowering your sugar intake is a given, but it's not only about taking certain foods out of your diet. It's also important to introduce healthy, good-tasting foods into your diet. These may include grilled foods (chicken and fish), beans and hummus dips, healthy carbohydrates, and lots of vegetables and fruits.
Exercise and Hobbies
If you are already incorporating exercise into your daily routine, then keep at it. If you want to change your routine to add even more fun activity such as dancing, swimming, golfing, or playing tennis, this will keep you healthy, increase your energy levels, and you may even find that your mood becomes more pleasant.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Not all women experience symptoms during menopause. Don't expect the worst - the more you focus on what could happen, the greater the chances are that the very worst will come upon you. However, if you find that your symptoms are overwhelming, and it's just hard enough getting out of bed in the morning, you may want to consider hormone replacement therapy.
H.R.T. can be administered by your doctor. During life changes, progesterone and estrogen levels are much lower, which is one reason for the many symptoms listed above. H.R.T. can be risky, but if your symptoms are overwhelming, the benefits may outweigh the risks. Even undergoing H.R.T. for a short period of time can be helpful, especially during pre-menopause.
