When it comes to menopause, many women may think of the pain of suffering, however, modern medicine has provided us with a variety of ways to make this stage of life easier and more enjoyable.
Menopause is a natural process in which a woman's ovarian function gradually declines and estrogen and progesterone decreases. The discomfort it brings is multifaceted, including physical distress such as irregular menstruation, hot flashes, night sweats, palpitation, insomnia, and psychological challenges such as mood swings, irritability and depression. In addition, menopause may also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, etc., posing a threat to women's health.
But we really don't have to endure these pains anymore. Modern medicine believes that since the discomfort of menopause is mainly caused by a decrease in estrogen, proper estrogen supplementation can effectively alleviate symptoms. Of course, while supplementing estrogen, you also need to pay attention to progesterone supplementation to protect the endometrium.
Supplemental hormone therapy does not happen overnight and requires early intervention, starting when estrogen begins to decrease and uncomfortable symptoms develop. This keeps the body in a state of estrogen protection, reduces pain, and maintains the health of all major organs. Even if early treatment is missed, women under the age of 60 or who have been menopausal for less than 10 years still have the opportunity to start hormone therapy.
Supplemental hormone therapy is not without risks, but as long as we choose drugs reasonably and monitor the use of drugs, the risks can be controlled within acceptable limits. At the same time, we can also further alleviate the discomfort of menopause by adjusting our lifestyle, increasing exercise, and eating reasonably.
Therefore, female friends, menopause is no longer a stage that must be hard. Let's embrace modern medicine and use scientific methods to happily spend this important period of life. Remember, health and happiness are our ultimate goals!
