Personalized Menopause Care Matters: Find the Right Plan for You
Every woman’s body reacts to menopause differently, meaning there is no such thing as a one-size-fits–all solution for menopause symptoms. Different women may experience menopause differently or show more symptoms than others. Factors such as genetics and lifestyle can cause menopause symptoms to vary in different women.
How Will I Know I Am in the Early Stages of Menopause?
Once you enter the early stages of menopause, your body will begin to show signs of perimenopause. Common symptoms include hot flashes, vaginal dryness, brain fog, weight gain, mood changes and sleep disturbances, all primarily due to decreased estrogen levels.
It is important to keep in mind that no two bodies are the same. Just because someone you know is experiencing menopause in a certain way, doesn’t mean your experience will be the same. Some women experience more intense symptoms than others as they transition into menopause. For this reason, it’s important to develop a treatment plan specifically for you and your symptoms.
What treatment is best for me?
There are many treatment options available for women who are experiencing menopause symptoms, such as hormone therapy, medication or lifestyle adjustments. While there may be advertisers or influencers who recommend treatments, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s what’s best for you. Meeting with your care provider is the best course of action when determining which treatment is right for you.
What can I do?
While there is a lot you can do on your own through lifestyle and dietary changes to relieve your symptoms, there are menopause treatments that can be of great help to you.
However, it is important to beware of “Menowashing” and the exploitation of menopause to sell unnecessary supplements or treatments. Companies are frequently targeting women who are experiencing menopause and desperation to relieve their symptoms – with the goal of selling their products, regardless of whether or not there is sufficient evidence to prove how effective and safe they are.
