Hello. I'm middle aged woman and I would like to get some information from people who maybe have more experience then I do with this particular problem.
I have just entered my menopause period and I'm starting to suffer from some terrible symptoms that I have never had before. I'm suffering from constant hot flashes, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, or other bothersome side effects. I have even started feeling depressed and anxious. When I talked with some of my friend about this- they told me that they all are taking some hormone replacement therapy and that theirs symptoms are much less expressed. What should I know about this post menopause estrogen replacement therapy!

Well, I don’t understand how you didn’t know about this option earlier. Many women have started using it and everyone is pleased with the effects. You see, during fertile period, estrogen works to regulate a woman's monthly menstrual cycle and secondary sexual characteristics and also rises at different times in the menstrual cycle to prepare the body for fertilization and reproduction. But the problem is that as a woman reaches menopause, her body produces less and less estrogen and progesterone. This is causing several side effects and you have mentioned just some of them. This all could be avoided with hormone replacement therapy. I would not suggest you to take only estrogen without progestin because taking estrogen without progestin to balance the hormonal cycle may cause over-stimulation of the endometrium tissue and cause uncontrolled tissue growth which may lead to endometrial cancer.

We represent "Unauthorized Ad", an on-line company supplying customized vitamin supplements to the USA and we hope this information may be of interest to you.
The following nutritional components may be beneficial. Menopause is the cessation of the monthly female menstrual cycle. Women who have not had a menstrual period for a year are considered postmenopausal. Most commonly, menopause takes place when a woman is in her late forties or early fifties. Women who have gone through menopause are no longer fertile. Menopause is not a disease and cannot be prevented. Many hormonal changes occur during menopause. Postmenopausal women are at higher risk of heart disease and osteoporosis, presumably because of a decrease in the production of estrogen or other hormones.
The following nutritional components may be beneficial. Chaste Tree is used for irregularities of the menstrual cycle and mastodynia and may help balance hormone levels. Dong Quai is often considered the female Ginseng and is a traditional herb for women's health. It is also traditionally used as a uterine tonic. Black Cohosh helps with menstrual and menopausal health. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant. Preliminary studies found vitamin E to be effective in relieving hot flashes and may improve the blood supply to the vaginal wall in menopausal women. Licorice has phytoestrogens that perform functions similar to those of estrogen produced by a woman's body. Siberian Ginseng is traditionally used to help improve general well-being. Calcium has been shown beneficial for relieving nevousness and irritability, and helps to protect against bone loss. Vitamin D promotes normal skeletal and tooth formation by stimulating calcium and phosphorus absorption, and playing a key role in their metabolism. Soy Isoflavones can be a natural alternative to estrogen replacement therapy for relief of mild menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats.
Dr. Balch works with "Unauthorized Ad" to provide custom-made natural remedies for anyone who wants an all-in-one daily supplement that addresses all their health concerns, as well as providing the vitamins and minerals needed for optimum health and wellness. We include formula for 680 different health concerns in our database.
