<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Early menopause occurs <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This condition affects each woman differently and the severity of her symptoms may vary. If your symptoms are affecting your quality of life, it’s important to get help. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There is no cure for <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you are going through the change of life, you might experience a range of symptoms or only one or two. Some of the common ones include:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n During a woman\u2019s fertile years, her body produces enough estrogen and progesterone to support her reproductive cycle. But when the body stops producing these hormones in normal amounts, it may may cause the onset of unpleasant symptoms. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sometimes the cause of early <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fertility loss can be devastating to your emotional health.<\/a> If you are finding that your experience is affecting your mental and emotional health, it’s important to seek help. Counselling can be a good option to help you process your emotions. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your doctor will use a variety of methods to diagnose or rule out early menopause because it is not always easy to get a firm diagnosis. These might include: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your doctor will provide you with a treatment plan to manage any troublesome symptoms you are experiencing. It might include:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n HRT involves taking estrogen and progesterone supplements to relieve hot flushes and vaginal dryness. It may also help to improve sex drive, reduce urinary tract infections and provide protection against osteoporosis. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Depending on your age and condition, there are several options available . These include the combined menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), estrogen-only therapy, or a combination of oral contraceptives. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This therapy is a painless, minimally invasive laser treatment to relieve the symptoms of vaginal atrophy (the thinning and drying of the vaginal walls in response to lowered estrogen levels). It stimulates the body’s natural healing processes and often improves vaginal comfort within minutes. It also aids in the healing of vaginal dryness, fissures and inflammation and has no side effects. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Standard Hormone Replacement Therapy should help you to sleep better as you transition through the change of life. But if you are not a candidate for HRT or you choose not to use it, there are other things you can try to help you sleep better. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n These drugs are effective at improving sleep during menopause for some people. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If drug treatments are unsuitable or you would prefer to avoid them, you can try the following tips to improve your sleep:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n No one wants to go through life feeling miserable.
