Menopause Natural Treatment Relief - Menopause Supplements

Menopause, also referred to as "the change of life," is the point at which women stop ovulating. The menopausal period affects each woman differently. Some start early, some start and stop, but most experience the change around the age of fifty. menopause usually lasts up to five years. Although estrogen levels drop during the postmenopausal period, the hormone does not disappear. Other organs take over in the productions of estrogen and other hormones. The organs known as endocrine glands secrete hormones to maintain proper bodily functions.
The symptoms of hot flashes, dizziness, headache, difficult breathing, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and depression may be caused by an estrogen deficiency. IF one is hypoglycemic, the symptoms are often more pronounced. Stress puts a burden on the adrenal glands, causing them to overwork. Therefore, the adrenals produce smaller amounts of the hormones pause. The hypothalamus is the area of the brain that regulates the heat-producing mechanism of the body. Hot flashes can be the result of widespread blood vessel dilatation.
To control severe symptoms in menopause, use the smallest possible dose of estrogen every other day. Estrogen combined with progesterone reduces the risk of uterine cancer. Estrogens may cause fluid retention and may increase the severity of asthma, heart disorders, kidney stones, epilepsy, or migraine headaches. Estrogens are important, but there is a risk in their use.
