Your Wellness Is Our Priority

Menopause, which marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycle, can significantly impact her health. Some common symptoms include hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and difficulty sleeping. Additionally, women may experience changes in mood, such as irritability or depression.

After menopause, it's important to continue with regular screenings, such as mammograms and pelvic exams. These can help detect any potential health problems, such as breast cancer or osteoporosis. 

To stay healthy during and after menopause, it's important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly. This can help prevent weight gain and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Additionally, getting enough sleep and managing stress can help improve overall well-being. 

Hormonal therapy, which involves taking estrogen and progesterone, may be an option for some women to relieve symptoms of menopause. However, discussing the potential benefits and risks with a healthcare provider before starting any treatment is important.

Estradiol, a form of estrogen, is often used in hormonal therapy. While it can be effective in treating menopausal symptoms, it can also carry risks, such as an increased risk of blood clots or breast cancer. 

Maintaining good mental health during menopause may require extra attention, as some women may experience mood changes. Staying connected with friends and family, practicing relaxation techniques, and seeking support from a therapist or counselor can be helpful.

Partners can support their loved ones going through menopause by understanding the physical and emotional changes they may be experiencing and providing emotional support and understanding.

Irritability during menopause is common and may be caused by fluctuating hormone levels. Some women may also experience mood swings, depression and/or anxiety.  If this becomes a concern, it's important to talk to a healthcare provider to explore options for managing these symptoms.
