During the summer, menopausal symptoms can be aggravated by the heat.
Menopause is a natural process that marks the end of the female reproductive period. It usually begins around the age of 45-50 and involves a series of hormonal changes that cause discomforts such as weakness, depression, insomnia, mood swings, dry skin, vaginal dryness, decreased sexual interest and hot flashes.
To cope with all this, in addition to medical treatment, some healthy habits can help, such as the practice of physical activity, a balanced diet and a good night’s sleep.
During the summer, menopausal symptoms can be exacerbated due to high temperatures. With this in mind, the gynecologist Loreta Canivilo points out that there are ways to alleviate these effects and improve well-being and quality of life.
According to her, hormone replacement is the most appropriate way to deal with this situation and has scientifically proven results. It consists of a therapy that aims to restore the hormones which, before menopause, were naturally produced by the body.
“It is replaced for up to five years quite safely and completely removes the effects of menopause,” says the doctor.
To perform hormone replacement, a number of treatment options can be recommended, as there are different hormones that may or may not be used and combined.
Other details that must be defined by the doctor are: dosage, form of administration and duration of use. All of this is decided based on each patient’s individual needs and through careful evaluation.
The doctor points out that the main hormones used for this purpose are estrogen and progesterone. “But in some cases, testosterone is also used. There are also modern versions of the gestrinone treatment,” adds Dr. Loretta.
However, it is essential to emphasize that hormone replacement cannot be done by all women. This therapy should be avoided by those who have had cases of cancer, thrombosis, stroke and heart attack, for example.
The good news is that, with a few actions, it is possible to ease the symptoms of menopause. Appearance:
- Wear light clothing;
- Drink plenty of water;
- Move your body;
- Bet on natural foods;
- Cut down on caffeine, alcohol and spicy foods.
