What are some menopausal symptoms?

Common menopausal symptoms include hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and difficulty sleeping. These discomforts can significantly impact the quality of life for many women, making it difficult to focus or manage everyday tasks. Other common symptoms include irritation or moodiness, vaginal itching or burning sensations, weight gain, joint pain and stiffness. Knowing the warning signs can help you manage your symptoms more effectively!

How do I handle hot flushes?

Dealing with hot flushes (or hot flashes) can be a challenging experience, but there are steps you can take to help manage this common symptom of menopause. Reducing stress through conscious relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga is a great way to start. You can also make some dietary changes that may prove beneficial, such as avoiding caffeine, alcohol, nicotine and spicy foods to have a more healthy diet. Wearing layers of light clothing will let you easily adjust your temperature when necessary. With these simple tweaks in lifestyle and attitude, you may find that hot flashes become more manageable.

Women’s Health Post-Menstrual Cycle

Looking For Menopausal Relief? We’re Here To Help.

There comes a time in a woman’s life when their menstrual cycle ends and menopause begins. Many women experience standard menopausal symptoms, but some can experience more unpleasant symptoms. From occasional hot flushes to urinary incontinence to recurrent urinary infections, there are remedies for this natural process!

The importance of hormone balance shows up, especially during menopause. Our hormones all work together so if one is altered or deficient, it affects all the others. We don’t want them playing out of tune.

Every woman has a unique hormone response at menopause and so hormone replacement needs to be individually customised for each person. At Evergreen Doctors we recognise this and use a holistic, personalised, Functional Medicine approach to get the best results.

Menopause Symptoms

The symptoms of menopause include hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, anxiety, mood swings, irritability, insomnia, weight gain, fatigue, loss of sexual interest, facial hair, metabolic disorders, heart palpitations, dizziness, varicose veins, urinary leakage and many more. Everyone has a different experience and therefore we consider each patient individually.

Hormonal Treatments

In Functional Medicine we consider HRT because it relieves the symptoms of menopause, protects against memory loss, helps to keep the heart healthy, aids in bone reproduction, and promotes growth and repair. Insulin, Growth hormone, the oestrogens and DHEA are all hormones of growth and repair. We recommend the bio-identical hormones as theses are chemically identical to the hormones produced by our bodies.
