Menopause is a significant topic that can evoke a range of emotions from curiosity to dread. It marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years but comes with its fair share of challenges. Currently, there are more than 80 symptoms associated with menopause or perimenopause that can last for years, affecting three out of four women who will experience symptoms. Unfortunately, most medical doctors are not adequately trained to diagnose menopause or perimenopause, leading women to run around in search of a diagnosis.
Women often feel anxious during menopause due to hormonal changes, drops in estrogen, and physical and emotional changes such as sleep disturbances and hot flashes. Additionally, unresolved trauma, pre-existing mental health conditions, and changes in life roles may intensify anxiety symptoms. To achieve an anxiety-free menopause, it is essential to investigate and unlearn stress and trauma patterns that have settled into the mind and body.
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a potential treatment option that can help alleviate menopausal symptoms. Dr. Galy, an expert with over 30 years of experience in General Medicine, offers personalized treatment to restore beauty and health from within using BHRT. Bio-identical hormones are compounds chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body, making them a safer option for hormone therapy.
Holistic counselling psychologist, Linda Sakr, emphasizes the importance of seeking professional help when experiencing persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, anxiety, and mood swings during menopause. Mindfulness can also play a crucial role in coping with menopausal symptoms by helping women stay connected in the present moment. Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, as practiced by Dr. Huang, can help restore balance and promote natural healing during menopause.
