Support During Menopause

The following lifestyle changes can help with the symptoms of menopause:

• Regular exercise helps to improve mood and sleep quality.

• A balanced diet that is rich in calcium and vitamin D helps to support bone health.

• Stress management techniques like yoga or meditation can be beneficial for mental and physical health.

• Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and creating a restful environment also works to assist with mental and physical health.
   

Seeing a doctor can help with hot flash and mood swing reductions along with vaginal dryness.

• Hormone treatment

  • Taken to replace the estrogen the body stops making after menopause.

• Non-hormonal treatments

  • If the patient cannot take hormone medications or chooses not to, there are other medication options.

  • Acupuncture- thought to help reduce hot flashes, night sweats, and mood changes.
