listening to music, taking a brief cold shower, or changing clothes can do the trick.
When To Ask About Treatment
Managing menopause with natural treatments doesn’t work for everybody. If nothing is working, you should ask your doctor about medical treatments. The most common way to alleviate the symptoms of menopause is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). In this treatment, you’ll be given estrogen or a combination of estrogen and progesterone. HRT works by reducing the hormone fluctuations in your body that lead to the characteristic symptoms of menopause.
It’s important to note that HRT can have many side effects so you need to discuss these with your doctor. Sometimes, they may recommend trying another course of action before HRT. One such option is the use of anti-depressants. Studies have found that SSRIs can help to ease menopause symptoms with fewer side effects.
You’ll have to handle many different life changes once you start going through menopause. One of the problems that many people aren’t prepared for is insomnia. If you create a plan to address it, you can get back to a good night’s sleep. Of course, some people need a little more help than at-home remedies can offer. You should talk to your doctor about your options if nothing else makes a difference.
