Learning to Control Your Menopause and Perimenopause Symptoms.

Women need to realize that you know your body better than any lab test. If you are not feeling like yourself and experiencing symptoms associated with menopause there are options available. You do not have to suffer in silence. Quite the opposite...

You're familiar with menopause symptoms... the hot flashes, night sweats and sleeplessness, diminished sex drive, mood swings, skin and hair problems. Finding a treatment that's right for your unique set of menopause symptoms has always been tricky. More than ever, getting straight answers to your menopause questions is vitally important to your health, comfort, and peace of mind.

Menopause... As I see it and feel it.

You may or may not know that MenopauseRx's president is a practicing gynecologist and I am not only a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, but also a 46-year-old female. I am experiencing some of the same symptoms as you. Therefore, we take our research, education, and your symptoms seriously.

As a mother of a teenage girl, I have seen and experienced the ups and downs of hormonal changes in young women. As mothers we seem to be very sympathetic of these hormonal changes. Yet the hormonal changes that we are now experiencing are somewhat ignored by society and ourselves.

If you remember your teenage years or have recently been around a female teenager, you know the jubilance, followed by crying, followed by despair, followed by the inability to cope. Menopause can have a lot of the same signs... maybe not so much the jubilance.

MenopauseRx understands that no two women experience the same perimenopause and menopause transition. Nor do they have the same risk for the diseases associated with menopause and aging.

For this reason, we have developed a selection of FREE self-assessment quizzes that will help you determine the stage of menopause you may be in and your personal risk for some important health concerns.
